Greg Fischer did not plan to spend ten years in recruitment. He joined a solo healthcare practice in LA as employee number one, figured it would pay the bills, and planned to open a gym someday. He never left.Instead he built one of the most profitable staffing businesses in the US. $4.2 million in NFI, $1.4 million net profit. 38 people and a seven-figure equity stake with a $50 million exit on the horizon.But he walked away with nothing!The push toward the exit had quietly changed how the business ran. “I think we started looking at people as much more like resources and just a means to an end than actually people.” Greg had spent a decade building his career on the opposite belief. But the drift was so gradual he hadn't noticed it.“I couldn't be the person I wanted to be and be in a good, healthy working dynamic. It was going to be one or the other.”On this episode of The RAG Podcast, Greg Fischer, founder of Well Oiled Machine, tells the full story. The gym that cost him $150,000. The 10 years building someone else's company. The walk away. And how he built a lean, profitable rec-to-rec from a mountain town in Colorado with no cold outbound and twenty clients in year one.Greg Fischer is not chasing the big exit this time. He is building something small, profitable, and built entirely around the person he decided he wanted to be.If you have ever wondered what it actually costs to chase a number, and whether the person collecting it is still someone you recognise, this episode has the blueprint.----------Episode Sponsor: AtlasAdmin is a massive waste of time.

In this episode of InSights, Brad Bialy sits down with Greg Fischer to unpack why most offshore hiring fails before it even begins and how the best staffing firms use global talent to remove bottlenecks, increase trust, and scale without burning out their team. About the Guest Greg Fischer is the founder of Well Oiled Machine and former CEO of AMI Network, where he scaled the business to $4.2M in gross profit with nearly half the team based outside the U.S. After spending 18 months failing to make offshore hiring work, Greg developed a repeatable framework for building integrated global teams across recruiting, sourcing, operations, and sales. Today, he helps staffing firms avoid the costly mistakes most agencies repeat when trying to scale with international talent. Key Takeaways Clarity scales faster than hustle. Cheap labor becomes expensive leadership. Trust creates performance. Bottlenecks don't disappear — they relocate. Great teams aren't divided by geography. Timestamps [00:01] – Finding the real bottleneck [01:22] – Why hustle stops working [02:02] – The utility-player trap [04:11] – Why offshore hires fail twice [05:09] – Process problem or people problem? [07:18] – Can recruiters fund this themselves? [08:59] – What elite firms do differently [09:54] – Killing the “us vs. them” mindset [11:51] – Is AI replacing offshore talent? [17:53] – Holding everyone to the same standard [21:52] – Why screen monitoring backfires [25:17] – Hire right. Then lead right.

Send Us Your Grilling QuestionsThis week on Grilling To Get Away, we pause to recognize Veterans Day and talk about one of our favorite holiday techniques—spatchcocking a turkey. Whether you're firing up the smoker or the grill, this method guarantees crispy skin, faster cooking, and maximum flavor. What Is Spatchcocking?Spatchcocking (also called butterflying) is when you remove the backbone of the turkey and flatten it out before cooking. This technique helps the bird cook faster and more evenly—no more dry breast meat while you wait for the thighs to finish. Plus, when you lay that turkey flat on the grill or smoker, you'll get incredible smoke coverage and perfectly crispy skin all around.How to Spatchcock a TurkeyPrep the Bird: Pat your turkey dry with paper towels and remove any giblets.Remove the Backbone: Using sharp kitchen shears, cut along both sides of the backbone and remove it completely.Flatten It Out: Flip the turkey breast side up and press down firmly on the breastbone until it cracks and lays flat.Season Generously: Coat both sides with olive oil and your favorite Burn Pit BBQ rub—All Ration for an all-purpose flavor, or Shellback Southwest for a bold kick.Grill or Smoke: Cook at 350°F until the internal temperature hits 165°F in the thickest part of the breast. Depending on the size, it usually takes about 1.5 to 2 hours.Why It WorksSpatchcocking not only shortens your cook time, but it also ensures that every bite stays moist and flavorful. You'll also have more room on the grill for sides or even another smaller bird if you're feeding a crowd.Pairing IdeasServe your spatchcocked turkey with smoked mashed potatoes, charred green beans, or grilled stuffing. For seasoning, try brushing a bit of melted butter mixed with Fire For Effect Sweet Heat near the end of the cook for a touch of spice and color.Follow Burn Pit BBQ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/burnpitbbqguys/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/burnpitbbq Are you a grilling novice looking to master the art of BBQ and outdoor cooking?

Overview Greg Robertson sits down with Andy Taylor and Greg Fischer from RetroRate to discuss assumable loans and their potential to reshape real estate transactions. They explore the history and career paths of both founders, the challenges of discoverability in MLSs, and how RetroRate aims to make assumable loans more visible and accessible for agents, buyers, and sellers. Key Takeaways Backgrounds of the founders: Andy Taylor: From gaming at EA, to Apple, to Redfin, to startups like Approved and Credit Karma. Greg Fischer: From brokerage and realtor.com to innovative consumer tools like Doorsteps and Doorsteps Swipe. RetroRate's mission: Helps real estate professionals identify and transact on assumable loans. Assumable loans can drastically reduce monthly payments compared to current market rates. Market potential: 22–25% of homes on the market have an assumable loan, yet less than 1% are marketed that way. Properly marketed assumable loans can increase sale prices and attract more buyers. Challenges: Discoverability in MLSs—fields exist but are often unused or misunderstood. Educating agents and consumers on how assumables work. Equity gaps require creative solutions (cash, piggyback loans, or policy changes). Tools & partnerships: RetroRate offers an agent-facing platform, MLS integrations, and a Chrome extension (“RetroRate VHS”) to overlay assumable loan info on Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.com. Engaging with MLSs and realtor organizations to standardize data fields and improve adoption. Call to action: MLSs, brokers, and agents should connect with RetroRate to make assumable loans more visible and usable for clients.

Most recruitment firms stall at $1M revenue. Greg Fischer broke through by building a high-retention offshore team, embedding himself inside client organizations with RPO, and using LinkedIn commenting as a smarter BD strategy. As Co-Owner of AMI Network, Greg scaled from $1M to $4.2M revenue and $1.4M profit sustaining 30–40% margins. His model: hire offshore staff directly, integrate them as equals, and use a 2:1 sourcer-to-recruiter ratio to free recruiters to bill more. Alongside that, he mastered RPO pricing, transforming a $30K placement into a $1.5M account. Today, as founder of Well Oiled Machine, Greg helps other firms replicate this approach. In this episode, he shares how to structure offshore teams for 85%+ retention, qualify RPO opportunities, and win clients through LinkedIn commenting. Episode Outline and Highlights 6:42 From solo founder's first hire to 40-person team. 7:40 Breaking the $1M ceiling with offshore hiring after failed BPOs. 12:37 Why sourcing was the first offshore function and how it lifted billings. 23:18 Landing a $50K/month RPO by reframing a client's hiring challenge. 28:07 How that grew into an $80K/month RPO account with 30–40% margins. 30:45 When to pitch RPO: the minimum job volume that makes it viable. 33:47 The “open + close” fee model that stabilized cash flow. 36:23 How a 2:1 sourcer-to-recruiter ratio frees recruiters to bill more. 39:08 Why most agencies fail with offshore—and how to do it right. 47:19 Choosing the right country: Mexico vs Philippines vs South Africa. 54:51 Greg's daily LinkedIn commenting routine that built an inbound pipeline. Key Takeaways Offshore Done Right Fuels Scale Greg's agency was stuck at $1M for four years. BPOs failed, freelancers flaked. The breakthrough came when he hired offshore staff directly, trained them thoroughly, and treated them as equals. Within three years, AMI scaled to $4M+ revenue with 30–40% profit margins and 85% retention. Offshore wasn't a cheap fix; it was the lever that freed recruiters to focus on revenue-driving work. The RPO Question That Unlocks Recurring Revenue A referral asked for an internal recruiter. Greg's partner asked: “Why now?” The answer—50 hires in six months—turned a $30K placement into a $50K/month retainer that ran three years, worth $1.5M. His rule: RPO only works with 5–10 requisitions/month and $15K+ revenue. Anything less is contingent search. Over time, he moved to an “open fee + closed fee” model that kept revenue flowing and profit margins at 30–40%. LinkedIn Strategic Commenting Works Greg built AMI Network through cold outbound. For Well Oiled Machine, he went another route: commenting daily on posts from 60 recruitment thought leaders. Thirty minutes before posting, thirty minutes after. The results? Comments hitting 20,000+ impressions—often outperforming original posts. On LinkedIn, comments are content, and for agency owners this is a repeatable, low-cost BD strategy that beats cold calling. Greg Fischer Bio and Contact Info Greg is the former Co-Owner of AMI Network, a healthcare recruitment agency that did $1.4M in Profit on just $4.2M in revenue. His secret? 18 of his 40 team members were Offshore high-performing employees, with annual retention over 85%. Now his firm, Well Oiled Machine recruits Offshore & Nearshore staff for Recruitment Firms & Staffing Agencies.
