3 Keys to Transition and Thrive From a Corporate Recruiter to Agency Owner, with Pat Corrigan

Transitioning from a comfortable corporate recruitment career to building an agency is not an obvious choice for many. The risks it entails may even stop some recruiters from considering this transition. Although it may be a significant leap, with the right skills, mindset, and support, it can lead to a rewarding and profitable career change.

My special guest, Patrick Corrigan shares his story of how he successfully transitioned and thrived as a recruitment agency owner from being a corporate recruiter for more than a decade. Pat shares the three key factors to his success, as well as the strategies he continues to implement in building his team and driving revenue.?

Pat is the founder of Palladium Point , a leading executive search firm based in St. Louis, serving the commercial insurance industry nationally.

His recruitment career spans fifteen years, and for the past six years has been focused on building high-performing sales teams for leading commercial insurance brokers.?

After spending years leading the sales recruitment function for a global insurance broker, Pat pursued his entrepreneurial dreams and started his own firm. Since launching in 2022 they’ve taken off like a rocket.

I’m also honored to have Pat as a member of our Inner Circle coaching program.
