Giig It A Rest

It's back to reality now, the Christmas Sillies have ended, the mince pies have been put away and we're back to the grind... Now for those of you who listen regularly, you will know that I'm always honest with you and I want to be honest in saying that this weeks episode of the pod feels a little flat... It could be the fact we were dusting off the brambles from Christmas, it could als...

After a solid Christmas special (if I do say so myself) with the chaps from KOSI we thought we'd get the Giig collective together for one final round up before the year draws to a close... This final episode of 2025 is mainly the three of us exchanging gifts and having a look back at what 2025 has been like for the 3 of us.. Obviously there's still a Lee's Lunchbox in there as well......

IT'S CHRISTMASSSSSSSSSS!!!!!! It's closing in on us now..! People are shutting down their laptops, ready for good old Santa to drop in with some festive joy... So we thought... We'd bring you some festive joy with a Christmas Colab with the guys from KOSI.. We trekked over to Wales to with Si and spent the morning sitting in Kate's front room, talking waffle and having a beer... Hopefully there's...

After a firecracker of a week with Sean, we've back to the duo on the sofa.. By the way if you have not listened to the last episode, go back and give it a go! It's worth your time! Now that we're in the swing of the winter months there's been some cold and flu in the camp, so this week kicks off with Andy's tale of struggle and strife with Man flu! Around that we also talk about: - My Pre-Operati...

This episode is a firecracker.... Not sure what that word means but I am running with it!! Sean the TA guy, he's an Agency Recruiter, Turned Internal Recruiter, Turned TikTok phenomenon... He came in very strong, so word of warning this episode starts quick... He hit us with a gift of matching T's as soon as we sat down, so the first 5 minutes of this pod is a lot of faffing and laughing a...

It's been a whole year of Giig It A Rest!!! In classic us fashion, we didn't even realise it and didn't even bring it up... The pair of us were back together as the first time as a pair for a while and discussed: - That awkward wine tasting moment - The weirdest Christmas present - Frozen Nappies - Our latest feature updates - Me being on a panel - Our first Lee's Lunchbox question from a listener...

I have so much respect for anyone who can build a successful recruitment business and Ruth is an incredible example of someone who's not only started a recruitment business but made it stick for 15 years... Launching Wagstaff from a home office as a Solo through to building her business into a small team focused on recruiting into engineering & manufacturing it's a genuine story of how hard it...

This is the first time we've had someone on the pod I've worked with before... When I landed in Oz as a fresh face recruiter thinking that I would change the world, Joel took me under his wing and by putting me up at his flat.. Joel is one of the directors at The Precision Group a top little family of recruitment agencies based of out of Sydney.... Usually we plan to talk about the guests journey...

WE'RE BACK AS A THREE.... For the first time this year!! Can you believe that this is the first time that James and Andy have been together in 2025... Criminal really... As they have not seen each other they spoke for all of 5 minutes... It's excellent chat... Around that riveting conversation we also spoke about: - Why the podcast is the best pace to hide your deepest darkest secrets. - Who is th...

This week on the pod... Gordon Webb from Shazamme.. An absolute top bloke and horse Dad! (you will get that if you listen)... This weeks episode was recorded on the road at the RecExpo.. We managed to convince Gordon to sneak off the Shazamme stand to have a chat for an hour.. We did have some technical challenges with this episode.. The audio died on us twice and the video once but that doesn't s...

The two words I had for this weeks guest were 'Pocket Rocket' We nabbed Michelle for a chat after her on stage breath work session at the agency expo and this chat was a delight from start to finish.. Michelle, is a Health and Performance coach! She's racked up over 5,000 of coaching taking recruitment teams from average to great making sure they don't burnout along the way. That's where the breat...

Okay, so I have made a bit of a hash of things this week... Somehow last week, I managed to upload the correct video with the wrong audio on it.. God knows how... So in a rush to get it back up, I am going to give you less of a synopsis this week.. but not sure how many of you read these things anyway.. What I can tell you is it's the two of us this week, we talk quite a bit about the recruitment...

We're back from a break.... Well to you lovely people it won't feel like a break as we had a bank of content for you to keep you entertain whilst we were gone. As we'd not seen each other for a couple of weeks, there was plenty to catch up on and this week you will learn about: - Our new podcast sponsor - My run in with nudists in the sand dunes - How we both struggled with yoga on holiday - An aw...

It's back to just the two of us... (We can make it if we try) After a couple of weeks of guests we sat down as a pair and got one episode in before the Giig holidays kick in... Welcome back to the recruitment industries most informative podcast btw! This week we chat about: - My run in with the dummy fairies - The sad loss of one of the Giig family members - How we've caught one of our listeners d...

We dropped the ball this week on the podcast! This is the first time we have not had a gift for the guest... Made even worse by the fact that the guest (Christian Mather) had a gift for us. His gift was a book "The Psychology of Money" which ties in very nicely to his world and his business 'One Day Wealth'.. Which is all about making sure that recruiters have a game plan for their finances before...

Welcome Back To The Recruitment Industries Most Informative Podcast... This week on the pod you're back to just the two of us... We kicked off this week with a weird request from a potential user...

In amongst the...

Welcome Back To The Recruitment Industries Most Informative Podcast!

Welcome Back To The Recruitment Industries Most Informative Podcast. This week on the podcast, we had an accidental guest... She stuck her head in early doors, we tried to get her to stay but not sure she was overly keen. After she departed we got down to the important conversation topics: - If you can smell burnt toast is it a sign you're having a stroke? - Luke's crash in Sarah's car - An upcomi...

Welcome Back To The Recruitment Industries Most Informative Podcast.... This week on the pod, we're joined by 'Mike Hennan' our weirdest podcast guest so far... Reason I say Mike is a weird guest is because he's not from the recruitment world.. He actually works in Pumps and Compressors... I've known Mike for around 15/16 years. I was introd to him by one of my ex girlfriends way back when. A coup...
