Common mistakes that new recruitment founders make.
In this advisory segment, recruitment founder Hishem Azzouz warns that a frequent error among new agency owners is the desperation to secure fees by taking on poorly qualified, low‑commitment searches. He explains that founders often ignore the lack of premium potential, invest time and resources into these unlikely placements, and ultimately waste valuable effort when the deals fall through. The message emphasizes the importance of prioritising quality, realistic assessments of search viability, and avoiding the temptation to chase immediate cash at the expense of long‑term efficiency.
