Most recruiters think they have a sales problem.

 Jamie Lupo says they actually have an interview problem — and it’s costing them clients.

 After 18 years inside LHH, one of the largest talent solutions organizations in the world, Jamie trained teams across the country, rebuilt struggling offices, and watched thousands of recruiters win… or quietly fail.

 Her diagnosis is blunt:

 If you’re “waiting to hear back,” you’ve already lost control of the process.

This is Part 1 of a 2-part series breaking down the fundamentals that separate average recruiters from elite billers.

Jamie shares how she survived a recession as the only recruiter left in her office… how she accidentally became one of the top sales producers in the company… and why old-school recruiting strategies are now outperforming tech-heavy desks.

 And if this conversation hits, Jamie is going deeper live at the This Is Your Year Recruiter Summit.

If your desk is flat… if clients are ghosting… if submissions aren’t converting… this episode is your reset.

 In Part 1, you’ll learn:

• The real reason clients don’t call recruiters back

• The difference between a prescreen and a revenue-driving interview

• Why transparency not honesty unlocks referrals and trust

• The mindset that helped Jamie win during a downturn

• Why most recruiters are selling staffing instead of solutions

• The early interview shift that dramatically increases placement ratios

Jamie doesn’t teach hacks.

She teaches fundamentals that compound.

Ask better questions.

Control your calendar.

Lead the process instead of reacting to it.

In Part 2, we go deeper into client control, business development systems, and the exact revenue activators recruiters can implement immediately.

If you’re serious about scaling a recruiting desk, strengthening your sales skills, and building a firm that performs in any market — press play now.
