I did something scary today. I went on a podcast. Now, you might think, “What’s scary about that?” Well, when you’re building something, head down, grinding every day. You don’t pause to look back. You just keep going. But today, I said it out loud: - I started this recruiting business from nothing in 2016. No experience. - I had to restart after a failed first attempt that left me in debt. Rock bottom. - My first-year revenue was $12K. That’s not even survival money. - Now? We’ve crossed $4M+—and we’re still growing. It’s a wild feeling to put that journey into words. Because when you’re in it, it just feels like survival. But looking back, I feel it’s proof of what’s possible. Huge thanks to Benjamin Mena and The Elite Recruiter Podcast for giving me the space to share this story. If you’ve ever started from scratch, felt lost, or questioned everything, this episode is for you. Can’t wait to share more when the episode drops! If you were on a podcast, what’s the first story you’d tell?

This Is where most recruiting businesses FAIL By NOT Evolving! I started Raks Group LLC 8 years ago, and it has changed so much since then. When I first launched, I was just filling roles, no niche, no real process, just hustling to make placements. Now we have specialized in a niche, built a strong client base, leveraged tech & automation, and created a team of 10+ recruiters working together. It’s wild to think about how much has changed, but that’s exactly the point - evolution is key. Your business should grow as much as you do. As I’ve learned more about sales, automation, and client management, my business has evolved with me. We improved our tech stack, restructured our pricing models, and optimized how we find & place candidates. I could have waited years to get everything "perfect." But the biggest lessons I’ve learned came from actually DOING the work. The truth is most recruiting businesses fail because they DON’T evolve. They stick to old-school methods, ignore new hiring trends, and eventually, they get left BEHIND. So here’s how you adapt & grow as a recruiter: 1/ Niche Down – Trying to be everything to everyone = burnout. Specializing makes you the go-to expert. 2/ Build a Real Process – Don’t just wing it. Use ATS systems, automated outreach, and structured workflows to save time. 3/ Expand Revenue Streams – One-on-one placements are great, but think about retainer models, split fees, or even consulting. 4/ Take Marketing Seriously – LinkedIn, email lists, personal branding—it all matters. The more visible you are, the more inbound business you get. 5/ Keep Learning – The industry is changing fast. AI, automation, sourcing tools… if you’re not keeping up, you’re falling behind. Change isn’t something to fear, it’s how you build a sustainable recruiting business. What are you doing differently now than when you started? P.S. If you’re still using the same recruiting strategies from years ago, it’s time to level up. Join RecruitElite community. 690+ recruiters are already in working on staying ahead of industry shifts.

I was accused of being a liar when I said— "I didn’t have a plan when I started my recruitment business." But it’s true. I didn’t have a roadmap. No perfect niche. (I do now, but I had to figure it out first.) What I did have was curiosity and a gut feeling that I should just start. So, I did. I called companies, reached out to recruiters, and sent messages that got ignored. Some calls flopped with zero interest, but some turned into real business. But here’s what actually worked: (beyond the usual ‘just start reaching out’ advice) - Trusting my gut: If a client felt like a good fit, I knew there were more like them. I went after them without overthinking. - Keeping it simple: No fancy CRM. No complicated tech. Just real conversations, real relationships, and real results. - Watching what made people say yes: I paid attention to what got hiring managers to open up, what made recruiters trust me, and what led to actual placements. Today, I have a clear strategy. A growing 670+ recruiters community. A business built on partnerships and trust. But the real WIN is that I figured out how to make recruiting work on my own terms. If you’re trying to build a recruitment business, just: Talk to the right people, in the right way. The right deals will come. Trust me! P.S. What’s the one lesson you learned the hard way in recruiting?

?? Tip of the Day: Stay Connected After the Hire! ?? Here's why it matters: Foster Engagement: Regular check-ins show your new hire they are valued, boosting their commitment. Encourage Communication: An open line helps prevent misunderstandings and builds trust. Facilitate Growth: Offer ongoing learning opportunities to help them thrive. Build Relationships: Organize informal catch-ups to strengthen team bonds. Remember, the post-hire phase is crucial for creating a supportive workplace! ??? #Leadership #EmployeeEngagement #TeamBuilding #WorkplaceCulture

The most useless interview question of all time "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" I don’t know, Dave. I was hoping to be rich. But here I am, explaining my biggest weakness to you. Companies still ask this question as if: - Life isn’t unpredictable. - The job will even exist in 5 years. - Employees stay that long anymore. Want a better question? Try: + "What excites you about this role?" + "What’s one thing you’re really good at?" + "What do you want to learn here?" Because let’s be honest, most people have no clue where they’ll be in 5 years. (Unless they’re a fortune teller. In which case, hire them immediately.) P.S. Recruiters, what’s a better question you ask instead?
