The Modern Recruiter

Hey everyone, This week on The Modern Recruiter, I had a great conversation with Benjamin Mena, host of The Elite Recruiter Podcast and Managing Partner at Select Source Solutions. Benjamin then interviewed me on his own podcast - give it a listen here . It was fun to do a crossover episode - and I know many of you are already big fans of Benjamin's! Benjamin shared a lot on his personal story fro...

Hey everyone, This week on The Modern Recruiter, I had an amazing in-person conversation with Chris Bakke about his journey building and selling two successful recruiting companies - including one that was acquired by Elon Musk's Twitter/X! Chris shared some of his insights on: * Building a recruiting marketplace from scratch Chris's company Laskie grew to $4.5 million in revenue in just 2.5 years...

Hey everybody! This week on The Modern Recruiter, I had a fantastic chat with Steve Bartel , founder of Gem, about a topic close to my heart: recruiting strategies for early-stage startups. Steve and I go a long way: We both started companies in the Recruiting space around the same time, we both have a very strong Recruiting CRM (though we’re going after different audiences) and we both share the...

Hello everyone, In this episode of The Modern Recruiter, I had a great conversation with Jared Watts, a former professional soccer player turned recruiter. I’m always a big fan of mixing different fields, so I was excited to learn how the skills and mindset from professional sport (in this case soccer or - as we like to call it in France - football) can be useful in recruiting. Here are some of th...

Hello everyone, In this episode of The Modern Recruiter, I had a fantastic conversation with Clark Willcox , founder of The Digital Recruiter and host of the podcast with the same name . We dived into how to leverage LinkedIn effectively as a recruiter, offering insights valuable for both corporate and agency recruiters. Just after, he interviewed me as a guest on his podcast on the topic of Turni...

Good morning everybody! This week, we dropped an absolute masterclass on building a highly valuable recruiting/staffing agency to potentially sell for 8-figures. My guest was Diane Prince, who achieved that very goal by founding, growing, and exiting a company for $28 million! (several times actually) Diane walked me through her entire entrepreneurial journey, from deciding at age 27 to "build a b...

Hey everyone, With the job market changing so rapidly over the past few years, I try to keep up. That means lots of chats with folks from various sectors. One person I've been talking with is Josh, the CEO at Hired.com. Josh has access to tons of proprietary data because Hired has been at it for a decade, generating 3 million interviews and helping 30,000 people find jobs. During one of our conver...

Hey everyone! Just wrapped up an amazing chat with Melissa Grabiner about something we all care about: how to get a better job. We talked about strategies to implement during the job search of course, but also before. We hope this will help some of you as listeners, but also your friends, family. Even if you’re not looking for a job right now, and if you probably know everything about recruiting (...

Hey everybody! In a special episode that I've been teasing for a bit, Jon and I unpack the art and science of pricing for agencies and recruiters. Even if you're not from an agency, you'll want to hear this. We cover how to show your worth, focus on what really matters, and get recognized by your clients/hiring managers. This is gold whether you're on the inside or with an agency. So, why Jon spec...

Hey everybody! Robin here, and I'm back with another episode of The Modern Recruiter, diving deep into my latest obsession: the inner workings of recruitment agencies. This week, I had an awesome chat with Samuli, the brains behind TalentBee , a Europe-based, fully distributed recruiting agency created in August 2022, that's now booking ~70K€ of revenue per month. Not bad after 1.5 years! (and to...

Hey there Modern Recruiters! I’m back episode of The Modern Recruiter. Same as with Chris (from last week - listen to it now if you haven't already !), I connected with Bryan after my LinkedIn post to ask for guests recommendations . I was looking for agency recruiters/founders willing to go all-in with the transparency and share everything that's happening behind the scenes. Bryan accepted to sha...

We recorded this episode live in person, right after Sandra Feldmann rocked the stage at the Sourcing Summit. The energy of doing it in person was - as usual - incredible, and Sandra was totally in her element – you’ll feel like you’re in the room in Amsterdam with us! Sandra is big about blending Marketing + Recruiting (a common thread on the podcast). During our conversation, she shared some sup...

Great news! Substack now has a “Transcription” feature - which means you can read the transcript of our conversation with Aaron. If you are as impatient as I am, you will love it! A lot of you noticed (and complained!) that I haven't released an episode for almost 2 months now. That's awesome, and it shows that you truly care (and wait for the next episode) - I'm grateful for this! I'm back on tra...
