Recruitment leaders want to grow their businesses. They want to create speedy, profitable teams of recruiters, and they want to see ROI from their investments. This recruitment podcast is a really interesting listen to help you understand how innovation can stop being a buzzword, and start being the way you create ROI and success for your recruiting teams, tech and time!
In this episode of the Recruitment Leaders’ Podcast, I spoke with Mark Constable, Founder of Next Gear.
After 15 years working in recruitment as a consultant, leader and business owner, Mark works with recruitment businesses who are either start-ups / micro and want to scale, or more established recruitment businesses which have reached barriers to growth.
This is a Must-Listen Podcast for Recruitment Business Owners!
This is a must-listen if you own a recruitment business, no matter what size, or what style of recruitment.
We talked about:
How recruitment leaders want more time, more money and less stress – but often find that when they stop and look around, they haven’t gained any of those things…
A recruitment leader’s focus is on revenue – but the most successful recruitment business focus on something else – what it that?
What do you need to do to scale up your recruitment business?
How do you create assets in your business?
What are recruitment leaders doing every day to ensure that their systems, marketing etc… aren’t merely a cost and but a sales-driver?
How do you deliver change?
How do you know if your recruitment business is not delivering what you want?
How do you know whether your business is capable of delivering what you need?
What is the one thing every recruitment leader needs to do this year?
It was fascinating to talk about mindsets / culture / leadership with Mark.
