  # 406 Why 2/3 Recruitment Consultants will Fail and cost your business money (and the fix)

  Aug 21, 202619 min

  Recruitment and search business owners: if you've hired a consultant who "should have been good" and they still haven't billed, this episode is why. Watch the free video on how we help recruitment and search firm owners fix this: https://makemoreplacements.com/vsl In our experience, two out of three consultants hired end up costing the business money rather than making it, once you account for salary, on-costs, and the time spent managing them. Most owners who make a bad hire blame the person, the market, or a lack of effort. It's almost never any of those. The real reason is harder to hear: you hired for the wrong reason, took a claim on trust that was never tested, and gave talent no system to work with. Hiring multiplies what already exists. Hire into nothing, and you multiply nothing. In this episode: Why hiring to solve a growth problem instead of a capacity problem sets the whole thing up to fail Why two out of three consultant hires end up costing the business money, not making it The claim on a CV that owners never actually test The difference between hiring for talent and hiring into a system Why "let systems run the business, and let people run the systems" changes how you hire from here Watch the free video on how we help recruitment and search firm owners fix this: https://makemoreplacements.com/vsl This episode is sponsored by PlacementBox, our client attraction platform built for recruitment agencies.

  # 405 The Discipline Lie That's Quietly Killing Your Recruitment Firm

  Aug 7, 20262 min

  We've all been sold the same myth: that successful people win because they've got ironclad discipline, and if you're falling behind, you're just lazy. It's a great story. It's also wrong. In this episode, Terry breaks down why discipline is the weakest tool in a recruitment owner's kit and why building your firm on "just trying harder" guarantees it eventually falls over. He explains why willpower works like a phone battery: you start the day at 100%, but every decision (chase the candidate, chase the invoice, write the proposal, post the video) drains it until you're running on 10% by mid-afternoon and blaming your own character. The fix isn't more grit. It's routines and systems that get the work done without relying on willpower at all. If you're a recruitment or search business owner who keeps starting strong and fading by lunchtime, this one reframes the whole problem. Topics: recruitment business owners, willpower vs discipline, decision fatigue, business development consistency, systems and routines, building a more profitable recruitment firm.

  # 404 INVISIBLE TO INEVITABLE The Mindset To Show Up On Video When No One's Clapping Yet

  Jul 31, 202617 min

  Most recruiters aren't losing business because they're not good enough. They're losing it because their market has forgotten they exist. In this episode, Terry breaks down why 82% of recruiters say they want to post video content: but only around 12% actually do it consistently. The gap has nothing to do with talent or technology. It's mindset. Using the idea of a "trust bank account," Terry explains how every video you post is a deposit into your market's trust, and every time you go silent, or reach out cold asking for vacancies, you're making a withdrawal from an account you never funded. He unpacks the real reasons recruiters stay invisible ("I don't have time," "I don't know what to say," "it needs to be perfect") and the identity shift required to become the recruiter your niche knows, trusts, and wants to work with. You'll learn: Why visibility beats being the "best" recruiter in your market The trust bank account: how to make deposits instead of withdrawals How to move from perfection to progress, performance to service, and motivation to identity A simple content system to produce a week of videos in 30 minutes The exact 45-second video to post in the next 24 hours If you run a recruitment or search business and you know you should be posting content but keep putting it off, this one is for you. Recruitment business development, video content for recruiters, personal branding, client acquisition, recruiter positioning, building authority, making more placements.

  # 403 Confidence

  Jul 23, 202613 min

  You don't have an information problem. You already know how to win retained work, raise your fees, and build predictable income. What's stopping you is the gap between what you know and what you're willing to do, and that gap is confidence. In this episode, Terry breaks down why most recruitment and search business owners stay stuck: they wait to feel ready before they act. The outbound call, the retainer conversation, the strong LinkedIn opinion: all sitting on the "when I'm confident" pile. The problem? Confidence never comes first. It comes second. Terry unpacks the real sequence that works, action, then competence, then confidence, and why the reverse is a loop of your own making. You'll hear why nerves before a fee conversation aren't a sign you're not ready (even Tom Hanks and Kate Winslet still feel like frauds), why borrowed confidence in a proven system beats waiting on your own, and why somewhere in your market a less skilled recruiter is winning your retainers simply because they showed up and asked while you waited. If you're tired of knowing exactly what to do and still not doing it, this one names the problem properly, and gives you one move to make this week.

  # 403 Stop Chasing the Deal: Detachment and Advocacy for Recruitment Business Owners

  Jul 3, 202616 min

  The recruitment business owner who needs the deal often repels the deal. In this episode, we break down why neediness shows up in client conversations, how hiring managers sense it, and why the strongest recruiters and search firm owners are willing to walk away when the work is not right. You’ll learn how to shift from chasing the fee to leading the decision, how to ask better commercial questions, and how to become the trusted advisor a client cannot ignore. If you have ever gripped a deal too tightly, accepted bad terms, discounted your value, or stayed quiet when you knew something was not right, this episode will help you reset your approach before your next sales call.
