The Recruitment Industry’s Most Overlooked Performance Hack with Michelle Flynn

Most people in recruitment think burnout is just part of the job.

Long hours. Constant pressure. Always “on”.

But what if the real problem isn’t workload… it’s how we’re operating?

In this episode of the Marketing Rules Podcast, I’m joined by recruitment leader turned performance coach Michelle Flynn to talk about sleep, stress, burnout, breathwork and why so many recruiters are running at 100mph with no recovery.

This is one of those episodes that will probably make you stop and rethink how you work.

We cover:

• Why “work-life balance” doesn’t really exist
• The hidden signs you’re heading towards burnout
• Why recruiters struggle to switch off
• How high performers recover properly
• The importance of sleep and routine
• Why small changes beat dramatic life overhauls
• Breathwork, performance and controlling stress
• The problem with being “busy” all the time
• Why recruiters are basically office athletes
• How to improve performance without sacrificing your life

If you work in recruitment, run a business or constantly feel switched on, this episode will probably hit home.
