Description

Backdoor hires. Restrictive covenants. Exiting your business without it all falling apart.


Most recruiters hope these issues never land on their desk – but when they do, the consequences can be brutal.


That’s why in this episode of Amplifying Recruitment we sat down with Barry Cullen, founder of RecLaw and one of the UK’s leading recruitment lawyers. Barry has seen it all from clients claiming they “didn’t know it was the same candidate” to recruiters believing their contracts don’t matter.


We cover:

  • What actually counts as a backdoor hire (and how courts view it)

  • The biggest mistakes recruiters make with terms and processes

  • The myth about restrictive covenants that costs recruiters dearly

  • How to spot red-flag clients before they burn you

  • Why contract management and evidence matter more than bravado

  • The legal prep recruiters need to sell their business without losing value

Barry’s straight-talking approach makes the legal side of recruitment feel less like jargon and more like survival skills.


If you want to protect your fees, safeguard your business, or just avoid ending up in court, this is an episode you can’t afford to miss.


Follow the show for more conversations that help you build a smarter, stronger recruitment business.
