#76- Hiring with Clarity, Scaling with Confidence: Ranjith Ravula on Recruiting That Lasts

EPISODE SUMMARY In this episode of The Digital Recruiter Podcast, Clark sits down with Ranjith Ravula, founder of Raks Group and SocialM8, and a branding-focused entrepreneur with a powerful story of grit, growth, and reinvention. Ranjith opens up about immigrating to the U.S. in 2007 without knowing English, starting out in accounting, and slowly finding his way into the recruiting world. With no funding, no network, and no industry shortcuts, he bootstrapped his staffing firm by focusing on one thing: trust. From learning payroll the hard way to ensuring contractors always got paid on time even before he did, Ranjith built a business that put people first, and the results followed. But the story doesn’t stop at recruiting. Ranjith shares how his obsession with personal branding and consistency on LinkedIn led to over 27,000 followers, hundreds of thousands of impressions, and a pipeline of inbound leads. Now, he’s helping other recruiters and agency owners do the same through his new marketing agency. The episode dives into lessons on automation, hiring, content strategy, and what it really takes to grow a business with no safety net. Whether you’re a founder, recruiter, or just someone looking for real, no-fluff inspiration. You’ll walk away from this conversation fired up.
