Agency Owner Rollercoaster | Kristian James - Confidence knocks, the pitfalls of being a ‘Top Biller’ and humbling yourself into success...

On this episode, I’m joined by Kristian James from Hawkwood.

Being entrepreneurial from a young age meant that he was one of few who chose recruitment as a career path, and his trajectory has enabled him to be a founder of his own agency for the last four years.

Kristian has experienced both sides of the coin in recruitment: ‘top biller’ status as well as struggling to keep his desk thriving and going through some pretty tough times. 

From being an Associate Consultant to now running a very successful firm is testament to the mindset and hard work that Kristian had to embrace to make it work.

For recruiters that are looking for some open dialogue on humility, ego and mindset, this one is definitely for you. 

Whether you are at the beginning of your career or looking to educate yourself on how a successful agency is built, you won’t be disappointed by this one.

Junior consultants, I really urge you to listen to this, especially if you are having a good first year in recruitment (you’ll know why once you listen!).
