  • From 30 Direct Reports to Back-to-Back $1M Years as a Solo Founder with Zach Creighton
    May 4 2026

    In this episode, I sit down with Zach Creighton, founder of Hemans Talent, a financial services search firm he built from zero in Dallas.

    Texas. Zach spent a decade in recruitment, scaling the Selby Jennings Dallas desk to nearly 40 people, before walking away with 30 direct reports to go it alone, self-funded, with no brand behind him.

    We cover how he hit $1M in year one and backed it up with another $1M in year two, through relentless face-to-face BD, a disciplined niche focus, and a client strategy built around exclusivity without ever dropping his fees to get it.

  • Two PE Deals. $100M Valuation. Six Years: Inside the Metric Search Story with Joe Jani & John-Joe Walker
    Apr 27 2026

    In this episode, I sit down with Joe Jani and John-Joe Walker, Founder & CEO and Chief Commercial Officer of Metric Search, the perm-only recruitment business that went from a New York startup to a $100M valuation in just six years across two private equity deals.

    We cover the micro-niche strategy and grad-led blueprint that made Metric PE-backable, what actually happens inside a PE roadshow, how they grew 56% in a down market, and what the Southfield majority investment means for the business and the people in it.

  • The Commercial Director Edge: Discovery, Sticky Revenue & Selling Beyond the Vacancy with Viki Dowthwaite
    Apr 13 2026

    In this episode, I sit down with Viki Dowthwaite, Commercial Director at Trinnovo Group, to break down one of the most underutilised roles in recruitment and why the best recruiters in the world will always leave money on the table without someone like her in their corner.

    Viki built Trust in Soda's contract desk from 2 people to 15, hitting £70K weekly GP and now she's the person Trinnovo's consultants call when they need to win bigger, stickier deals.

    We get into the no-splits philosophy, the four pillars of her role, and the tactical frameworks behind discovery, solution selling, and proactive account management.
