Wow, what a journey it has been.

It's been amazing, and this podcast wouldn't be where it was today without you.

I'm here to say a massive thank you for all of your support over the last two and a half years.

I'm also here to tell you that this will be the very last Recruitment Rollercoaster episode released.

The Podcast is evolving; it's time for a new chapter, and this coincides with the new business venture I'm embarking on.

Recruitment is changing, and I believe that every recruiter should have an unlimited opportunity to better themselves in a professional, sustainable and mindful way.

Make sure you're connected with me on Linkedin to be in the 'KNOW' of the re-launch of the podcast and even have the chance of becoming a founding member of a community that will change the recruitment industry ...

You will hear from me all soon.

You hear the word resilience and recruitment go hand in hand all the time.

It makes complete sense because to become great, you have to get bloody good at bouncing back from the lows that you can face in recruitment.

But we want to know this.

Can resilience be trained, fostered and taught?

If it can then how can we cultivate more resilience within our teams?

Or, do resilient people already possess it?

This is exactly what we're discussing at this Recruitment Growth Event.

On this episode I’m joined by Michael Judkins from 3Search.

He initially entered the world of recruitment through Michael Page, and after just over 4 years moved over to the infamous 3Search, where he has been for the last 4 and a half years.

This is a great episode as it’s always incredibly interesting to learn about the differences (and difficulties) that come with moving from a corporate, well known brand to technically a start-up business.

On this episode we talk about leadership, motivations and transitions - and ultimately how Michael has become a successful leader in the 3Search group.

On this episode I’m joined by Adam Richardson, Founder of Strive Sales.

His journey is one that is unique, as he left recruitment for just under four years to try a new business venture, before diving back into the world of recruitment and setting up his own company. 

This episode is an interesting one as we cover a lot of topics.

Getting investment, building out internal processes as well as how to nurture a sustainable recruitment business.

It’s one of the few episodes of this podcast where we go into detail about the importance of having an Operations Manager, something which is clearly crucial when growing a recruitment company.

For recruiters who are wanting to learn more about growing a recruitment business and picking the right investor, this one’s for you.

For the junior consultants out there, this is an excellent podcast to learn more about the inner workings of smaller recruitment businesses, as well as some BD tips to help you diversify your approach in this “new world” we are now in.
