========================================================
đ Buckle up â this oneâs a game changer.
Louise Archer isnât just another voice in recruitment. Sheâs leading the charge to flip the whole model on its head. If youâre still clinging to the contingent cliff edge, sheâs the one holding the ladder down â and giving you a reality check on the way up.
As the CEO of Retrained Search, Louise has made it her business to help recruiters escape the chaos of contingent work. Her solution? Retained search â done properly, with confidence, clarity and zero fluff. Since 2018, sheâs helped recruiters ditch the free-for-all and step into a model that values their time, expertise and mental health.
In this episode, Louise joins Saul for a straight-talking, no-hype conversation about what recruitment really needs right now â and why those who donât adapt might get left behind.
Whatâs inside:
đ„ Why AI isnât the enemy â but it wonât save sloppy recruitment
đ„ The real difference between retained and contingent (yes, we go there)
đ„ How to get clients to pay upfront â and why theyâll thank you for it
đ„ The mindset shift that changes everything once recruiters go retained
đ„ When retained isnât the right call (yep, itâs not a one-size-fits-all)
đ„ A killer story of one recruiter who went from âthisâll never workâ to smashing it on retainers
đ„ How to use tech without losing your human edge
đ„ What Retrained Search actually offers (itâs not a cookie-cutter course)
đ„ And yes â we talk about her podcast too!
This oneâs for the recruiters whoâve had enough of working for free. For agency owners who know somethingâs gotta give. For the ones who want to do the job well â and get paid properly for it.
Louise brings energy, honesty and hard-earned truth. She doesnât train for the sake of it â she helps people believe they can do better, then gives them the tools to prove it.
đš Recruiters, agency owners, business leaders â donât miss this.
đ Listen now, take notes, and get off the contingent hamster wheel once and for all.
