Only 10% of Recruiters Survive What's Coming: The Barbell Theory Reshaping Hiring with Craig Whiting
03/08/2026 | 1h 4 mins.
In this episode, I sit down with Craig Whiting, co-founder of RLS Search, who has spent 18 years placing technologists into hedge funds and now bills £2.5M off four clients with a team of three.
We get into why he believes 70% of recruitment companies will be gone within two years, and why only the top 10% of recruiters survive what AI is doing to the market.
We cover the knowledge advantage that replaced business development entirely, the June 2024 reset from 14 people back to 3, and the process that takes his team to a 93% offer-to-placement ratio.

£4M Pipeline, 9 Recruitment Companies: Inside the Outbound System at We Have a Meeting with Zac & Jack
20/07/2026 | 1h 13 mins.
In this episode, I sit down with Zac and Jack from We Have a Meeting to unpack how their done-for-you outbound service has generated over £4M in live pipeline for 9 recruitment companies in the last 12 months, without relying on candidate flips or any of the usual recruiter BD tactics.
We dive into their full outbound system: how they build and enrich data before a single call is made, the VAR process that quality-checks every meeting booked, and the "Trojan Horse" strategy they use to break into markets they've never worked in before.
