A Decent Recruiter To Follow. Recruiting Is No Joke Podcast Host

With a decade in recruiting, I now partner with companies worldwide to recruit top HR and talent leaders.

What I do:

I help companies find talent.
From CHROs to People & Culture trailblazers, I connect organizations with HR leaders who drive real transformation.

I help companies with social media.
With an audience of nearly 1 million and millions of views, I know how to tell your story and attract the right people.

I emcee and speak at events.
Podcast host, keynote speaker, and global stage regular, I love sharing fresh perspectives on recruitment, leadership, and the future of work.

Outside the office, I’m a proud dad of three, a devoted husband, and a big believer in the power of recruitment to change lives and businesses.

Let’s connect. Whether you’re hiring, building your brand, I’m always up for a real conversation.

How to pay it back this holiday season

Repost if you agree.

👏👏👏

Oh how I’ve missed some late night sourcing…

You know:
Favorite tuned playing,
Searching and reviewing profiles
Going down rabbit holes
Kids sleeping
Playing around with a few AI agents… (it is 2025 after all…

And then around 10:33pm… boom.

You find that candidate you HAVE to talk to.

You know who you are.

😉

All the real recruiters get it.

Recruiting top leaders isn't optional if you want a great business,

Hire the wrong person - morale goes down, goals don't get hit, people leave.

Hire the right leaders - goals get smashed, people are inspired, and retention goes up.

That's why recruiting is crucial in business.

The ability to attract top talent is what separates the best from the rest.

The ROI of great recruiting is a successful business.

Never forget that.

We're not a cost center.

I ❤️TA.

Don't judge…

Always support and have empathy.

You never know what could happen.

Act accordingly

When I'm not trying to close deals, I'm usually watching Chelsea, gaming, travelling, writing jokes as an amateur Stand-up comedian, or at the gym.

I really do love Sales, as I find the art of communicating with other humans endlessly complex and fascinating. 

Reading books has helped me enormously in my career. Some of my favourites are:

- Never Split the Difference
- Can't Hurt Me by David Goggins
- Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman
- New Sales. Simplified. 
- Way of the Wolf
- Fear Bubble by Ant Middleton 

______________________

My background: 

I've been in Sales since 2011. Initially, honestly, I hated it. My first role was a boiler room Telemarketing role, and I was terrible. 

I dropped out of sales for a year, but after I saw Wolf of Wall Street, it inspired me to give it another go... cringe, but true. 

Whilst working a few different Sales jobs, honing my craft and focusing on personal development, I spent the next couple of years saving to go solo backpacking and 'find myself'. 

After a few months having a blast in SE Asia, I returned to the UK and needed a job. This is the part where I tell you I fell into Recruitment. 

I had great success as a 360 Recruiter helping Tech Start-ups grow their teams, and learned loads about the art of human communication. 

After working my way up to Manager level, I decided I wanted a change. I took some time out to try self-employed life, helping Recruitment Agencies win more Retained business and optimise their Business Development Strategy. But it wasn't what I wanted to do long-term, and gave me time to think on my next move. 

I'd been looking at SaaS sales for a few years as a potential career move, and I decide to make the leap. In Jan 2024, I started my first SaaS role as a BDR at aircall, an AI-driven VOIP solution.

I love Sales and post content regularly on LinkedIn. I try not to take myself too seriously, so if you ever see me doing that, feel free to tear me down :)
