On this episode, I’m joined by Jay Guney from Digital Gurus!

He initially built his recruitment career at Oscar for just under five years, where he progressed up the ranks and worked as a billing manager. Arguably one of the most difficult jobs in recruitment! 

After moving to Digital Gurus it gave him the opportunity to level up in his career, and a lot of the conversations that we had on this episode was centred around management and why he loves it so much!

For recruiters who are wanting to learn more about management and what it entails, this one’s for you.

For the junior consultants out there, this is an excellent podcast to learn more about building relationships with clients and senior candidates and why it’s so crucial in any market.
