I quite quickly realised, always known that I was never, I've never been the best recruiter. Like, I've never been in a room full of recruiters and thinking I'm the best. And then I got lucky enough to like work with some really good people when I ended up in the leadership role I'm in now, early days, who were way better than I ever was. And all I was thinking, if they turn up like motivated, engaged, happy to come to work, proud that they work with me with this business, like, that's all I've got to do. Like, I've just got to get them out of bed and be like, well, excited to go to work. If I get that bit right, because they're so good at their job, I don't necessarily have to touch too much else.
