The Challenge

Matt, a new recruitment business owner, quickly realised the hurdles of starting out solo. With no immediate team to bounce ideas off, he felt the weight of isolation and struggled to figure out which steps would best set his business up for long-term success. Faced with a sea of tasks and an overwhelming amount of industry advice, Matt needed guidance on where to focus his energy to make a real impact, especially in those critical early stages of growth.

I can’t imagine going back to the old way of doing things—spending weeks deliberating and second-guessing every move.

The Solution

Recruitment United provided access to actionable advice, cutting-edge tech solutions, and concrete examples from industry veterans, helping him stay on course and prioritise tasks that would drive business growth. Instead of feeling isolated, Matt found himself supported by a network eager to share insights, tools, and proven strategies.

Recruitment United gave me a clear path forward," Matt explains. "The exposure to different approaches and the opportunity to learn from seasoned professionals meant I could avoid common pitfalls and focus on what would bring immediate value to my business.

The Results

Since joining Recruitment United, Matt has experienced tangible business growth. He secured his first retainer, made two placements directly influenced by shared insights from the group, and has seen a significant shift in his decision-making process.

"I’m no longer bogged down by day-to-day distractions. Instead, I focus on what truly drives revenue. The experience has been a game-changer—helping me move from just managing tasks to building a scalable business."
