Rory Ferguson - Creating a culture of learning, and the importance of investing in your middle management to scale a recruitment agency successfully

The key takeaways from this episode are as follows:

🚀 You’ll learn about Harvey Nash and how it grew to be one of the most successful recruitment agencies in the world.

🚀 You’ll get some excellent insight on the importance of investing in mid-level managers and how it impacts your wider growth strategy

🚀 Caring about client relationships and why recruitment shouldn’t be transactional

🚀 How to maximise potential out of each consultant, especially if you’re a manager/leader

🚀 You’ll learn about integration at the senior level and why it can be difficult (as well as how to overcome it).

This week I’m joined by Rory Ferguson, a self-employed Interim consultant with over 25 years of recruitment experience.

He started working in recruitment in the 90s at the infamous Harvey Nash, before working for some of the best-known brands such as Petroplan and Hydrogen.

It was great to sit down with him and talk about his tenure as a recruiter as well as diving into culture, progression and scaling a recruitment business.
