Most talent business advice comes from people who never ran a desk.

Two things decide everything

Recruiting and staffing firms live and die by two things: whether clients keep sending job orders, and whether good recruiters stay.

Most advice comes from generic business content that never mentions a bench, a fill rate, or a client who goes quiet after the first placement.

01

Whether clients keep sending job orders

02

Whether good recruiters stay

This podcast exists to put people from the talent world in front of a mic and let them talk about how they handle it.
