The Hard Truths From Year One of Running a Recruitment Business With Genie Founder of We Are Refyne
In this episode, I sit down with Genie, founder of We Are Refyne, to unpack the hard truths from her first year running a recruitment business.
From launching with no logo and limited experience, to turning over £364K and building a six-person team, Genie shares both the highs and the brutal lows, losing staff, unpaid invoices, and moments of doubt.
We dive into the resilience it takes to keep going, the tactical wins that worked (like WhatsApp BD and SourceWhale), and why vision and culture matter even in year one.
