I think the recruitment industry has got to go through a whole host of change. It's become so transactional. There are far too many recruitment businesses, consultants that are focusing on one thing, and that's their back pocket and that's their commission.
What happens when a professional rugby player trades the field for the world of recruitment? Meet Max Learmonth, the Founder and CEO of Forge Talent, who shares his fascinating journey in this episode of The Recruiter's Recruitment Podcast. Max's transition from sports to recruitment isn't just a career change; it's a story of embracing new challenges and building a business grounded in genuine relationships rather than mere transactions.
With over 12 years of experience in both large corporate settings and SMEs, Max has seen the industry's flaws up close and is on a mission to change the game. Max and host Lysha Holmes dive into why the recruitment industry feels broken and how a relationship-focused approach can make a world of difference. They discuss what high performance really looks like and why leaders should roll up their sleeves and get hands-on.
If you've ever wondered how to stand out on LinkedIn or why building deep connections matters, this episode is packed with practical advice and heartfelt reflections. Max's story is not just about recruitment; it's about resilience, adaptability, and the power of human connections. Whether you're in the recruitment industry or simply interested in personal growth, this conversation offers valuable insights that go beyond professional boundaries.
