On this week's show, I was delighted to spend time with Elliot Dell, the CEO of Salt - a well known brand in the Digital Recruitment market, globally. Headquartered in London with 220 staff across offices in Asia, Australia, USA and the Middle East, Elliot joined as a recruiter and worked his way up to CEO after 10 years.

Salt didn’t actually exist when he joined, it was a small, family owned exec search business that soon changed with Elliot’s influence. As Salt gathered momentum, they soon acquired another business named 'Salt’ in New Zealand and that’s where things really took off.

Elliot has an incredible energy and passion for growing a fantastic business that can truly change the Digital Recruitment world. Whilst growing international teams at work, he is also the father of 3 children and has a super active lifestyle - an inspirational guy for sure!

Today I was joined by Doeke, the co-founder of WeAreKeen and agency providing in-house recruitment teams to start-ups, scale-ups and large enterprises across the Netherlands.

In this episode, he talked about how his country has reacted and dealt with lockdown and how his business has had to adapt to the change. Being an in-house agency with a relationship focused approach, he revealed how this has enabled them to stay close and support both clients and suppliers through a time that effects us all!

Today I was joined by David, Founder of Bailey Jude, an independent recruitment agency specialising in Marketing and Creative talent.

David has been in the game for 23 yrs, the last 5 of which has been leading his current business.

In this episode David opened up a number mistakes he has made and what he has learnt as a result. In the early days, whilst still working alone, he decided to take on a 1000ft office space with a 6 year lease. Over the coming years he grew the business to 8 people and that’s when things went wrong for him.

At the turn of 2020, David decided to step out of the office and scale back to just himself in an effort to re set the foundations and have another attempt at growing the business he really desires.

One of the nicest men you could ever meet, I enjoyed every second of this interview. He is available to help anyone who needs his time so please do reach out here! https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidstmartin/
