The Recruitment CEO's Insider Guide

Why 70% of Recruitment Founders Are Stuck as "Chief of Everything" (And the Exact Exit Strategy)


Listen Later

Are you trapped as the "Chief of Frigging Everything" in your recruitment business? If you started your recruitment company dreaming of freedom and great money, but find yourself stuck doing everything from billing to buying printer ink, this episode will be a game-changer. Katy and Jane reveal why most recruitment founders accidentally build themselves into a role they hate – and more importantly, how to escape it. They share the exact blueprint that's helped hundreds of recruitment business owners transform from burnt-out bottlenecks into CEOs of pleasure-led, profitable companies. This isn't fluffy business advice – it's a practical system that turns 12-hour days into focused four-day weeks whilst actually increasing your profits.

“I think a lot of people start a business and when they build that business, when they think about structuring that business, we tend to go to the default of what we see everyone else do because we think big is better.” – Katy Green

In this episode, you'll:

• Discover the four critical machines every recruitment business needs to run without you being the constant bottleneck

• Learn why building around your natural strengths (not what you think you should do) can generate 50-85% conversion rates

• Understand the real difference between a £250k profit business and one that just generates revenue

• Explore how to identify and eliminate the 60-80% of work that never converts into placements

• Uncover the simple attraction systems that outperform expensive tech solutions every single time

Jane shares her own transformation story – from spending four nights a week in hotels missing her children to running a business that gives her complete freedom. You'll hear the exact moment she realised she was the problem (and the £25-per-hour decision that changed everything). Katy breaks down why most recruitment founders get seduced by "big team, big office, big targets" thinking, and how this actually traps them in roles that drain their energy rather than fuel their passion. They reveal the surprising truth about why going back to basics – your network and your phone – often beats the latest automation tools that promise the world but deliver empty bank accounts.

Tune in now to discover how to transform from Chief of Everything into the CEO of your dream recruitment business.
