Recruiters Business Owners 
If you have 5000+ connections on LinkedIn
You could be winning IMMEDIATE business




A lot of recruiters don't think twice about their connections on LinkedIn

But the truth is your connections arn't just a number

They’re filled with dormant business relationships waiting to be rekindled.

Think about it...

Those hundreds of coffee meetings you've had over the years? They're still connected to you.

The clients you worked with 2-3 years ago? They're still following your updates.

Those fantastic candidates who weren't quite ready to move? They're still watching your content.

The problem is, that most recruiters aren't leveraging this effectively.

They're posting sporadically, with no real strategy or purpose.

▶︎HERE'S WHAT WE DO: I help Companies Struggling to Stand Out In A Competitive Market By helping them To Be Seen by More Customers And Speak to More Decision Makers



I interviewed a recruiter who's billing $958K 
He NEVER chases clients for feedback
Because he pre-books all meetings upfront







Before James commits to any client 

He gets them on a call and tells them: 

“To keep things moving quickly, this is normally how I work with clients.”
Then he suggests three simple steps...


1. CV Review Call “Once I send profiles, we’ll jump on a quick call to review them together.”
   
2.  Interview Slots “Let’s hold a couple of interview slots in the diary so we can move quickly.”
   
3. Decision Call: “After interviews, we’ll have a quick call to decide who you want to hire.”


Why is this so powerful? 

In simple terms, what he’s doing is:

Setting the entire hiring timeline in the calendar upfront.

So instead of the normal messy process:

Recruiter sends CVs → waits for feedback → chases → client delays interviews → process drags for weeks

He's got a clean, simple system already booked in. 

If clients refuse? 

He doesn't work with them. 

Brilliant. Simple. Saves him so much time and makes him more money.

We Interview the top 1% of recruiters and share their PROVEN strategies to Win More Placements. 100+ episodes with top billers: from $500k to $2.5 Million producers.

This guy was part of the Pinnacle Society for 14 years 
He was surrounded by 80 recruiters billing $800k-$1M
Here's the ONE thing they all had in common...




They didn't work harder 
Stay later 
Or grind extra hours to hit big numbers 

They HAD to change their strategy. 

Because they understood one thing

There is a point of diminishing returns with hard work 

To hit $1,000,000 plus requires a fundamental shift in strategy, NOT work ethic. 

Here were the CORE things these billers focused on in order to hit huge numbers...

- Higher fees / better fee negotiation
- Higher-level roles (Director/VP level = bigger average fees)
- Specialisation/niching → faster placements
- Better intake calls to qualify reality (exclusive/retained, access, probability of fill)
- Guarding time like a hawk

Great reminder for recruiters 

If you want to bill more 
Don't work yourself into an early grave 
Change your thinking and your strategy

Recruiters, don't worry about AI taking your Job.
Spoke to CEO this week who said "I refuse to deal with companies that hide behind automated support" 





"If I can’t reach a real person, I won’t buy." 

And it highlights a fundamental point about how humans like to do business....

Convenience is nice. 
But confidence comes from a real conversation.
 
And so the tools we use will always evolve, change, and improve. 

But the need for someone to pick up the phone and speak to a real human won’t.

I interviewed a recruiter billing $1.2 Million 
Here's his 3 touch process for winning new business 
(And he still uses it to this day) 





𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝟭: 
Cold Call with MPC Pitch
→ Lead with immediate value: a real candidate who solves a real problem. 
Example: “Hi, I’m Mike. I specialise in engineering recruitment. I’ve got a certified quality engineer, 7 years’ experience, right in your area. Thought of you, would you be open to seeing their CV?”
No fluff. No fake urgency. Just a good candidate and a focused offer.
If no answer? Leave a short voicemail, not a sales pitch, just a flag.

𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝟮:
Follow-Up Email (Immediately After Call)
Send a short, personalised follow-up that echoes your voicemail. Include:
• A one-line intro (reference the voicemail)
• One paragraph on the candidate
• A simple CTA: “Worth a look?”
This gives your call some weight, it’s no longer “just another recruiter email.”

𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝟯:
LinkedIn Connection (1–2 Days Later)
Send a blank connection request. No pitch. Just your name and credibility.
After they accept: “Thanks for connecting, I reached out as I’ve got a strong quality engineer in your area. Let me know if it’s of interest.”


Why This Works:

Multichannel = familiarity. 
The voicemail shows you're human. 
The follow-ups feel relevant, not random.

Recruiters always remember...
If you're healthy, happy, have family, friends, and a job you enjoy....F*ck me, you're winning


Don't let any swanky social media post tell you otherwise.

This Recruiter Billed $300k in his first year
Here's the exact 3-step BD sequence he used
(Anyone can follow this to win more clients)

There are 2 types of recruiters 
1. The ones that want to make an impact 
2. The ones who want to make lots of money 




Neither is wrong.

But one of them keeps you in the game longer.

Money motivates you in recruitment. 
Purpose keeps you in it for prolonged periods of time. 

The recruiters still going 10,15 or even 20 years later?
They found a reason that goes beyond the commission.

I spoke to a recruiter billing $2.4 Million 
Here are 7 signs that you're ready to leave agency life
And start you're own recruitment business...




1. High self-discipline
Works even when nobody is watching.

2. Love business development
Enjoy building relationships from zero.

3. Comfortable with uncertainty
Empty pipeline doesn’t scare them.

4. Independent thinker
Doesn’t rely on managers or structure.

5. Protective of time
Cuts off weak opportunities fast.

6. Emotionally resilient
Handles rejection without support structures.

7. Already proven they can build a desk
Has opened clients themselves before.


But Mike also said, "Don't be fooled."
A lot of people think.: “I billed $800k for my agency… I could just do that myself.”
That's not always the case...


Because agencies provide:
• candidate databases
• marketing
• brand recognition
• infrastructure
• internal recruiters
• sourcing help
• systems
• splits

So when you go solo:
You lose all of that.

Life hack: 
If you want unlimited purpose, drive, meaning and love
Have kids. It worked for me :)

This Recruiter boosted revenue from $1M to $2M 
She did it in just 2 years with 4 people in the company! 
How? by focusing on three simple things: 



1. Training recruiters properly
2. Stopped saying yes to every client
3. Used AI and Automation to cut admin by 50–60%

Nothing too fancy 
Just doing the basics 
At a world-class level

If you want the full breakdown of the conversation 
Check out the podcast 
Link in the comments below.

I interviewed a recruiter billing £1,000,000 
Here are his 3 cold call openers 
That get decision-makers talking every time 




Every successful cold call he makes starts with one of three phrases:

"I know..." "I heard..." "I saw..."

Here's why it works:

He's not just randomly dialling

He's entering every conversation armed with intelligence

And it's because he spends more time gathering useful data from candidates before he makes a call

When he says: "I know you're implementing Salesforce..." "I heard you're expanding into APAC..." "I saw you've just raised Series B..."

It's real-time data, and decision-makers actually listen.

Here's an example: 
"I know you're building a digital payments platform, so I wanted to introduce you to Sarah. She just led the rollout at Revolut and increased transaction speeds by 40%..."

Notice what he did there? 
✓ Shows he understands their business 
✓ Presents a relevant solution 
✓ Backs it with specific results

His advice: 
"If you have the right candidate strategy and you know how to uncover problems, projects and real-time data

You're not interrupting their day 

You're adding value to it."

We've worked with this recruitment CEO for 6 months 
He's spent around $15K with us 
He's won $200k of business. 





Let's break down his account...

Places high-level salespeople in tech companies (US) 

1,960,809 impressions over 6 months
11,000+ Reactions
4000 Profile views
12,253 engagements

We posted around 70 pieces of content over 6 months
75% of the clients and candidates liking, commenting, and engaging were NOT in his network
So he was building a pipeline of net new contacts in the indsutry

He spent $15K with us 
Won $200K worth of business 
That's a 1233% ROI 

You know what the most insane thing about this result is? 
Before working with us, he came through our free trial....
We worked with him for 2 weeks and wrote him 2 free posts
He saw the results and became a full-time client 

Insane value before he even started working with us 
And so happy to say he's received insane value 6 months on

If you're a recruitment business owner 
And you're ready to start building a strong pipeline of new business

This Recruiter won £60K worth of business 
With one simple MPC campaign. 
(Client Testimonial) 



Every recruiter knows what an MPC is (Spec'ing candidates for the Brits) 

But....

1. Very few recruiters do it consistently 
2. Some try it, but don't get good results
3. Others don't have time to set up the campaigns 

This is one of our new offerings (As well shit hot content) 

Why? 

We've spoken to dozens of million-dollar billers (on our podcast) 
We know what works 
We understand how to set up campaigns that get insane results

If you want to start doing more MPC campaigns 
And winning more business from a tried and tested outbound method

GAH! Today I celebrate 19 years in the recruitment industry..

And I am fighting the urge to call my teachers to let them all know that I do, in fact, get paid to talk all day.

Forever grateful to have landed and discovered a career that blends in my "too talkative", "too curious" nature.

Its wild to me how the world will often try to standardize you before you ever get the chance to monetize yourself.

So many recruiters I coach are still dragging old narratives into their present.

I wrote about it in my substack today: https://lnkd.in/eiwQ6tZw

LinkedIn keeps asking me to verify my identity. 

Intuitively its been a NO from me and then I read this article which confirmed my spidey senses.

Turns out, you're not giving data to LinkedIn. 

You're handing it to a company called Persona, which collects:

> Your passport scan and selfie
> Your facial geometry (a mathematical map of your face)
> Your national ID number, IP address, and device fingerprint
> Even your hesitation patterns during the process

They then cross-reference you against credit agencies, government databases, and utility providers.

Your data flows through 17 companies, including OpenAI, Anthropic, and AWS. Zero EU-based processors. 

And thanks to the US CLOUD Act, even data stored in Germany can be accessed by US authorities.

The liability cap if something goes wrong? $50.

I'm not saying don't verify. I'm saying know what you're trading.

Full breakdown worth reading (link in comments).

Don't get trapped by small stories or old ideas about your future. 

Don't long for things you've outgrown just because they're familiar. 

Not everything you lose is a loss.

Don't cap your potential at what others say is possible. 

Recognize the light when it hits you. 

Let yourself do more than you ever thought you could.

I hope you allow your life to be bigger than you ever thought possible.

Happy Sunday ☀️

The halls of my office completely changed when I decided to create a lifestyle business.

Back to blaming all of our problems on the planets.

Some advice for founders and solopreneurs to get you through this turbulent time:

Mercury retrograde is a time of temptation. That partnership that ghosted you is suddenly back. That client who lowballed you wants another shot. Did you learn from that lesson or are you still naive?

Mercury retrograde is a time for clearing, cutting and cleaning. Dead-weight clients, draining collaborations, the business model that never quite worked. If it's been stagnant, it goes.

Mercury retrograde will crumble every unstable foundation so that you can build a better one. Your pitch that kept falling flat. Your pricing you've been too scared to raise. Your offer that was never quite right. Good. Let it break.

Use this energy to your advantage.

LFG

So, what IS a Unicorn Hunter?

I’m the one founders call when they need the:

"Impossible hire".. aka, the UNICORN.

I'm the go-to for roles that feel out of reach. You know, the one who finds the talent others can’t.

I’ve spent nearly 20 years tracking down rare gems across industries like tech, construction, legal, consulting, SaaS, CPG and more.

I headhunt. I dig deep. I don't quit.

It’s not just what I do, it’s what I LOVE.

𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 🦄

Some people reach for a glass of wine after an intense week at work. I prefer to lay and stare up at this. ✨

Founders & hiring managers listen up.

Retention problems start with one decision: 


The offer letter.


If your first move is undervaluing them…
your last move will be replacing them. 

Stop trying to get a “good deal” on a candidate. 

They know their worth and so does your competition.

Authenticity isn’t a content strategy.

It’s the byproduct of something most are unwilling to do:

Deep inner work.
