How to Set Healthy Boundaries with Clients in Recruitment
There’s a big difference between being client-focused…And being a doormat. One of the most common mindset traps I see recruiters fall into is toxic empathy.That moment where you understand why a client is flakey, disrespectful, or disorganised –so you let them keep doing it.

How to Boost Recruiter Productivity in One Day
When I generally talk about working to boost recruiter productivity, I don’t usually need to apply this to myself. But even though I’d consider myself generally motivated, disciplined and on the game, I will confess that last week I wasn’t. I was not in a good place for my desk for the month. But sometimes […]
What Does Being Number 1 Mean to You?
My team and I have always had a saying: How can I strive to be #1 in this space? Not vaguely good. Not top third. Not kind of up there. Number one. The recruiter clients call first. The recruiter candidates already know, trust & respect. This whole idea came off the back of an internal […]
Sleep Like a BOSS – Why 8 Hours is Your Secret Weapon in Recruitment
You know the drill. Calls, emails, interviews, more calls, a client who ghosts you, a candidate who vanishes and a CRM that’s 3 coffees behind. You hit 5pm and your brain’s cooked.

Want to be a $1M Biller? Get okay with Losing..
Some of you might have heard me speak about this at Talent X or you might have even seen the video of Roger Federer talking about what makes the Top 5 Tennis Players in the world different to the Top 25. And here’s the thing: technically, there’s no difference. They all move like athletes. Hit […]
Why Your Words Are Killing the Sale (and You Don’t Even Know It)
How you speak to your clients says a hell of a lot about how you see yourself. Many recruiters don’t realise it, but they’re leaking self-doubt, hesitation and a lack of confidence in every email, voicemail and call they make. And clients? They can hear it. Words Have Weight Does any of this sound familiar? […]
My #1 House Rule That Changed The Way We Make Decisions – That Works For Recruitment Too..
There’s a simple rule in my house now:No decisions are made from the bed or the couch. Sounds a bit extreme, maybe. But let me explain. It all started with my 10 year old son.
