Chapters

So the one bit of advice I would give to someone considering starting their own recruitment company is decide where they want to go with it. If it's a lifestyle business, then they can alter it in a whole different way, and they need to consider, is it worth leaving your current company? If so, go for it. If you're a big biller and you want more freedom, go for it. And if you want to build something that doesn't exist right now, go back yourself and go for it as well.
What did you spend your first biggest commission paycheck on?
Um, so yeah, a few checks come quick and fast. I've saved most of them. There's a few outlandish items, but primarily I just pumped into property, to be honest.
Well, we want the outlandish items, come on.
Like, I paid £800 for a zip one time. A zip? For a zip for a bag, yeah. So, bottles of champagne, penthouses, like, but yeah, like, that wasn't, that was a slice of the pie. Like, most of it, well, I didn't buy a car or anything like that. It was, yeah.
What non-negotiable do you live by each day that you feel has a massive impact on your productivity?
So my non-negotiables are creating non-negotiables for a to-do list. So what I've got to get out of that day, and it will happen no matter what, and prioritising that, and I won't leave basically until it's done.
Final question, how do you think we can change the perception of the recruitment industry?
Each recruiter taking more accountability for themselves is how I'd say we can change industry, and there's a few things that Umar are working on themselves that's gonna raise the bar as well, but that'll be announced soon. ¡Gracias!
