Good morning everybody! This week, we dropped an absolute masterclass on building a highly valuable recruiting/staffing agency to potentially sell for 8-figures. My guest was Diane Prince, who achieved that very goal by founding, growing, and exiting a company for $28 million! (several times actually) Diane walked me through her entire entrepreneurial journey, from deciding at age 27 to "build a business to retire in our 30s" to the specific strategies and numbers that enabled her to do...

Hey everyone, With the job market changing so rapidly over the past few years, I try to keep up. That means lots of chats with folks from various sectors. One person I've been talking with is Josh, the CEO at Hired.com. Josh has access to tons of proprietary data because Hired has been at it for a decade, generating 3 million interviews and helping 30,000 people find jobs. During one of our conversations, Josh brought up their latest report, "The Future of Tech Hiring: 8 Bold Predictions for...

Hey everyone! Just wrapped up an amazing chat with Melissa Grabiner about something we all care about: how to get a better job. We talked about strategies to implement during the job search of course, but also before. We hope this will help some of you as listeners, but also your friends, family. Even if you’re not looking for a job right now, and if you probably know everything about recruiting (as you should if you’re interested in this podcast), we’re confident you’ll learn a few...

Hey everybody! In a special episode that I've been teasing for a bit, Jon and I unpack the art and science of pricing for agencies and recruiters. Even if you're not from an agency, you'll want to hear this. We cover how to show your worth, focus on what really matters, and get recognized by your clients/hiring managers. This is gold whether you're on the inside or with an agency. So, why Jon specifically? Well, he's probably the best expert on the topic of pricing + recruiting. After 8 years...

Hey everybody! Robin here, and I'm back with another episode of The Modern Recruiter, diving deep into my latest obsession: the inner workings of recruitment agencies. This week, I had an awesome chat with Samuli, the brains behind TalentBee, a Europe-based, fully distributed recruiting agency created in August 2022, that's now booking ~70K€ of revenue per month. Not bad after 1.5 years! (and to have a comparable for the US, you can probably ~double those numbers) We did a bit of a podcast...

Hey there Modern Recruiters! I’m back episode of The Modern Recruiter. Same as with Chris (from last week - listen to it now if you haven't already!), I connected with Bryan after my LinkedIn post to ask for guests recommendations. I was looking for agency recruiters/founders willing to go all-in with the transparency and share everything that's happening behind the scenes. Bryan accepted to share his journey that took him from agency (TEKSystems), to tech companies (Google, Apple, Uber,...

We recorded this episode live in person, right after Sandra Feldmann rocked the stage at the Sourcing Summit. The energy of doing it in person was - as usual - incredible, and Sandra was totally in her element – you’ll feel like you’re in the room in Amsterdam with us! Sandra is big about blending Marketing + Recruiting (a common thread on the podcast). During our conversation, she shared some super cool strategies on making connections with candidates that are way more than just about...

Great news! Substack now has a “Transcription” feature - which means you can read the transcript of our conversation with Aaron. If you are as impatient as I am, you will love it! A lot of you noticed (and complained!) that I haven't released an episode for almost 2 months now. That's awesome, and it shows that you truly care (and wait for the next episode) - I'm grateful for this! I'm back on track now, I should get back to the bi-weekly cadence :) Back to today's episode: a Masterclass on...
