Description

In this episode, I sit down with Conor from Quest Personnel to unpack the hard lessons from every stage of building a recruitment business.

Conor started at just 23, completely self-funded, and went from scraping by in a WeWork to leading a £1.4M agency.

We walk through the scrappy early days, the lifestyle-business trap, and the mindset and leadership shifts that brought clarity and growth.
