EP311: Sam Hameed, Co-Founder of SPG Resourcing - Are Recruiters Too Commission-Focused?

Ever wondered if the recruitment industry is too focused on commissions? In this engaging episode of The Recruiter's Recruitment Podcast, Lysha Holmes chats with Sam Hameed, Co-Founder of SPG Resourcing, about shaking up the traditional recruitment model. Sam brings a fresh perspective by prioritising credibility over clichés, offering a unique approach where each consultant gets a hefty annual training budget for real industry certifications.

This ensures that internal engineers conduct technical interviews before candidates are submitted to clients, leading to higher success rates and stronger client trust. But perhaps the most revolutionary idea discussed is SPG's shift away from a commission-first mindset. Instead, they focus on treating each recruiter's desk as a profit centre, rewarding them based on profitability rather than mere sales figures. Sam shares his insights on how this approach not only enhances recruiter accountability but also aligns better with client needs.

If you're curious about how these changes can lead to a more sustainable and ethical recruitment industry, this episode is a must-listen. Sam's experience and innovative ideas could very well inspire you to rethink the way recruitment is done. So, why not take a moment to consider how a shift in focus could benefit your business or career?
