Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
And I was offered a job and I accepted the job and
after I'd been there for a while, I came to a realisation I
really enjoy recruitment, but Ireally don't like working for
T&P Worldwide.
I'd rather work for a smallerboutique firm.
Again, nothing about them.
So much just my personalitystyle.

(00:21):
Much just my personality style.
So I thought the mistake that Imade is I only saw one
recruitment company.
What I really need to do is Ineed to go and see six or seven
recruitment companies and thenmake an informed decision about

(00:43):
which culture or remunerationstructure or whatever I
preferred.
And I had this thing in my mind.
If you're a wreck-to-wreck andso you're a recruiter who
recruits recruiters forrecruitment companies, you've
got to be the best of the best.
You've got to be the bestbecause everybody would be

(01:04):
judging you.
They are the worst fuckingrecruiters in the world.
I think rec-to-recs areabsolutely and utterly appalling
and I have often thought andthis could be something that you
and I could do and thought, andthis could be something that

(01:26):
you and I could do I could starta rec-to-rec business and
within 12 months it would be thebest rec-to-rec business in
Australia, because I knowexactly how to do it, yeah, and
you are spot on.
You need to build community.
What do rec-rec recruiters loveto do?
Get on the piss.

(01:46):
So you go, okay.
Every second Friday of themonth we're going to go to the
Elephant and Wheelbarrow, orwhatever it's called nowadays
and come along and have a freedrink, and it's open for all
recruiters.
