In this episode of The Recruiter's Recruitment Podcast, Lysha Holmes speaks with Sam Hameed, Co-Founder of SPG Resourcing and Director of SPG Intelligence, about challenging recruitment's traditional playbook.Sam shares how SPG has built a technical recruitment model that prioritises credibility over clichés. Every consultant receives a £2–2.5k annual training budget to gain real industry certifications — and internal engineers technically interview candidates before they're submitted to clients. The result? Higher success rates, reduced time-to-hire, and stronger client trust.But the real disruption? Moving away from commission-first thinking.Sam explains why SPG is transitioning toward running each recruiter's desk as a profit centre — giving full visibility of desk costs, break-even points, and profitability. Instead of focusing purely on top-line fees, consultants are rewarded on sustainable profit and long-term value.The episode also explores:Post-2023 market realitiesCommercial accountability in recruitmentBuilding a tech-enabled services groupDeveloping stronger, more credible recruitersWho This Episode Is ForRecruitment founders rethinking commission modelsAgency leaders navigating tighter marketsTech recruiters wanting deeper industry credibilityConsultants who want to think like business ownersA candid, commercially focused conversation about elevating recruitment standards.

Vanessa also shares insights from working with recruitment businesses globally, meeting 100+ AI vendors, and helping teams choose tech that actually improves time-to-hire rather than adding complexity.The conversation also covers launching and scaling a recruitment business, building a brand that creates inbound opportunities, the future of LinkedIn and sourcing tools, and why passionate curiosity is the most important skill recruiters can take into 2026 and beyond.Who this episode is for:Recruitment founders, agency leaders, solo recruiters, talent acquisition professionals, and anyone feeling overwhelmed – or left behind – by AI in recruitment.

Lysha welcomes back Hannah Morrison, Legal Director at Brabners, for an insightful discussion on the Emplacement Rights Bill — a topic that has sparked significant interest since October 2024. Lysha highlights Hannah's previous appearance on the podcast, where they explored restrictive covenants, noting it was one of their most popular and engaging episodes. This success prompted Lysha to invite Hannah back for a deeper dive into the evolving landscape of employment law. Taking on the self-proclaimed role of the “thick person,” Lysha aims to ensure the conversation remains accessible to all listeners seeking to understand the bill's implications for leaders, business owners, and recruiters.Hannah clarifies that while the bill outlines a framework for substantial changes — including proposed reforms to unfair dismissal rights and paternity leave — much of the detail will be developed through secondary legislation and public consultations taking place in autumn 2024. She emphasises the importance for employers and HR professionals to stay informed as these consultations progress, as the final legislation could significantly reshape employment practices in the UK.The conversation then shifts to the umbrella company sector and the government's ongoing concerns around tax evasion and compliance. Hannah and Lysha discuss how the recording and release timeline of the episode aligns with a crucial period of consultation, during which the government is proposing new measures to tackle malpractice in the industry.To mitigate risk, Hannah advises agencies and business to:Strengthen their due diligence procedures.Consider implementing real-time reporting software.Partner exclusively with umbrella companies that are members of recognised trade bodies.She also highlights that umbrella companies may soon fall under the regulation of the employment agency standards inspectorate and could be required to obtain licensing, introducing a new level of oversight within the sector.Connect with Hannah here - https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannah-morrison-27b28530/-----------The Recruiter's Recruitment Podcast is proudly sponsored by Paiger and partners to Needi, Keybridge IT, Bristol & Hardy and Diversity and Inclusion .Our Sponsor: Paiger - Making Recruiters Smarter and Faster.

Kristie Perrotte, Founder of Thrive Recruitment Marketing, delves deep into the intersection of marketing and recruitment, breaking down why it's no longer enough to rely solely on personal branding. Kristie emphasises the importance of marketing accountability and measuring ROI, especially as recruitment becomes more data driven and complex.They both unpack the difference between personal branding and a full scale marketing strategy, with Kristie noting that while a personal brand can open door, especially in sales, it's just one ingredient in the bigger picture. Lysha jumps in with a baking analogy, likening personal branding to the eggs in a cake, while the full marketing strategy is the recipe that brings everything together.The conversation also covers scaling beyond the founder's brand, the role of strategic personal branding for leadership, and how executive profiling helps align public messaging with business goals. No more chasing viral posts - it's about creating purposeful content that aligns with company values.When it comes to recruitment strategy, they focus on the "three C's": candidate acquisition, client acquisition and internal headcount. They emphasise the value of setting KPIs, tracking conversions and reactivating dormant contacts instead of constantly hunting for new leads.To wrap it up, Lysha and Kristie explore the human side of marketing, discussing how relationships and referrals are still key. While automation and AI are powerful tools, they agree that the heart of great marketing is still creative thinking, strategic messaging and real human connection.Connect with Kristie here - https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristieperrotte/-----------The Recruiter's Recruitment Podcast is proudly sponsored by Paiger and partners to Needi, Keybridge IT and Diversity and Inclusion .Our Sponsor:Paiger - Making Recruiters Smarter and Faster.

Welcome Kath Reynolds, Director and Co-founder of Balance Recruitment, with a career spanning over 35 years in finance - 25 of which have been dedicated to recruitment finance, including senior leadership roles at Robert Walters in Sydney and New Zealand. Kath brings a depth of experience and insight into the financial foundations of the recruitment industry.The episode explored the vital role that financial understanding plays in effective leadership and business development.

This mindset fosters greater ownership and transparency, which in turn can lead to improved profitability. They also touch on the benefits of involving recruiters in back office processes to strengthen collaboration and drive efficiency.A key theme touched on is the structure of commission schemes. Both explore how incentive models should be aligned with market realities and payment terms.

Kath shares her experience designing commission schemes that offer flexibility such as monthly or quarterly payments adjusted to invoice timelines whilst maintaining focus on the bigger picture.Kath addresses the growing need for commercial awareness within the industry. Recruiters should understand the financial implications of their work, including the cost of their desks and the revenue they generate.
