This week, we're exploring why working harder isn't always the answer for recruiters and recruitment business owners, and how protecting your time could be the key to building a more successful and sustainable business.
In this episode of The Marketing Rules Podcast, Tayla Veenstra takes over hosting duties and is joined by Sarah Higgs, Founder of Recruitment Angel, to discuss the growing pressures facing recruiters, the rise of virtual assistants and why getting your time back is about more than just productivity. They explore the impact of burnout, the importance of work-life balance and how recruitment businesses can grow without constantly demanding more hours from their people.
Sarah also shares her journey from recruiter to entrepreneur, the challenges and lessons of building her own business, and why relationship-led business development can be just as effective as traditional sales approaches. The conversation also touches on her role as the only female founder of the Recruitment Curry Club and the importance of building genuine connections within the recruitment industry.
