After 11 years away from running a recruiting agency, I’m officially jumping back into the game. At 51 years old. Starting at $0. Going back into the wireless telecom niche I know best. And this time, I’m documenting every step—from Day 1 until my first placement…and hopefully my 50th. I’m going to use the exact strategies, systems and tools I teach inside Recruitemy: ✅ Choosing a highly specialized niche ✅ Building candidate relationships before chasing clients ✅ Creating clear LinkedIn positioning ✅ Using Sales Navigator for targeted outreach ✅ Marketing high-value candidates to hiring managers ✅ Turning conversations into committed searches My goal is to make my first placement within 90 days. No theory. No polished “success story” after the fact. You’ll see the wins, mistakes, adjustments and actual work as it happens. In Episode 1, I show you exactly what I accomplished on Day 1—including the simple outreach message that already booked five candidate conversations. I’m excited, energized and ready to prove that these strategies still work when you execute them consistently.

Hey guys, just joined. My sister has always been in recruitment and I've seen the business model inside and out. Highs and lows. Pros and cons. I'm pretty good with AI and automation but do you think it will help me or hurt me starting out? I've setup some stuff already but could be procrastinating rather than doing the actual work.

Hi all, I've been dealing with candidates going completely silent after the first outreach message and I know a lot of you have run into this too. Spent some time working through it last week, and here's what actually moved the needle for me: 1. Send the first message with a specific reason you're reaching out, not a generic template. 2. Follow up on day 3 with a different angle, not just "just checking in". 3. Use a short video or voice note for the second touch, response rates jump noticeably. Happy to clarify anything, hope this helps 🙏
