Today we spokeĀ withĀ Steve Guest ā Elite recruitment specialist and author of 'Top Biller'
Steve has been recruiting for 17 years. He has placed over 800 individualsĀ into permanent roles in the UK.Ā Podcast host of 'The Guestlist with Steve Guest',Ā Amazon best-selling author across multiple categories for āTop Biller ā The Life of a Recruiterā (globally the highest reviewed recruitment book on Amazon), and founder of the online recruitment training platform - ā12 Week Recruitment Mastery Programmeā ā training recruiters on a global scale, Steve is still recruiting (the doing), but also now mentoring, coaching and teaching.
We ask when did Steve realise he could do this, and what attributes he sees in his kids that could make them recruiters too! Steve talks aboutĀ the importance of being early for everything, what separates successfulĀ recruitersĀ (such as organisation, consistency, integrity, and honesty) and what pushed him into driving his book sales. Steve knows his why, and he embraces sharing his journey and giving value now.
How fitting Steve was guest #200 for SEPR...going forĀ 3 years and 7 months, sinceĀ May 2019. Now it's time for a pause to consolidate our learning.
Thanks for being here! Remember - Sleep, Eat, Perform, Repeat.
