Podcast Announcement! ??? This week, we were joined by Emma Lowman & Louise Garrison, founders of Esto Search. We sat down for a raw, unfiltered chat about their first year as recruitment entrepreneurs - the doubts, the lessons, and the wins they didn’t see coming. They have done things differently & learnt plenty of lessons along the way: ? They have focused on company-led strategy, not niche chasing. ? They kept costs low and avoided rapid team growth. ? Said "no" to a big retainer (and gave their money back!). If you are currently building a business or have aspirations to do so in the future, then make sure to check out the podcast in full over the weekend! #podcast #recruitment

Negotiating your fees matters - and Rebeka's story proves it. 2023 Average Terms Agreed: 15% 2024 Average Terms Agreed: 19.2% Rebeka used to say YES to 15% without pushing back. But after four years of sharpening her negotiation skills and knowing her worth, she’s now closing deals at 19.2% - and it’s paying off. In this episode, we cover: ? How Rebeka shifted her mindset around negotiating fees ? Why a small increase in terms could mean fewer placements and higher billings ?
