On this episode, I’m joined by Glen Walsh from Milk Education. 

He initially fell into recruitment after graduating from the University of Manchester and quickly realised that this was going to be his forever career. 

After working in New Zealand for a year, he took the leap in setting up his first recruitment business, which then stopped trading after just under three years. 

That didn’t deter him - and now Glen owns three recruitment companies operating in different markets. Glen’s journey is inspiring, and it’s clear that recruitment runs through his veins after recording this podcast.

For recruiters who are wanting to learn about branding and how this can position you positively after Covid-19, then this one’s for you.

For the junior consultants out there, this is an excellent podcast to learn about which behaviours will enable you to propel yourself forwards personally and professionally.
