Hannah is the Co-founder and CEO of Meet Recruitment - a 12 year old international Life Science recruitment agency in London, Berlin, New York and San Francisco.

Like many others I have interviewed, Hannah was a graduate of S3 and started Meet with her co-founders at the age of 26!

In this episode we discussed:

🎙The story of launching Meet from Charlotte St in London in 2009, just after the GFC

🎙How they grew the business in the early days and decided to invest in their back office once they hit 10 staff

🎙Launching the US business from London in 2013 and later moving to NYC in 2015

🎙How 70% of the business NFI is now from the America’s and how the team adapted to make this a huge success

🎙 Why they re-branded the back office to be known as ‘The Hub’ and the impact this has had on growth

🎙How she has balanced becoming a mother and CEO and her outlook on this topic

🎙Why she wants females in our industry to ASK their leadership teams to support them through building a family and not to turn their back on recruitment during this process

Super articulate and powerful, Hannah is an exceptional leader and it is easy to see why! If you would like to speak to Hannah directly, please feel free to DM her on LinkedIn!

On this week's show, I was delighted to spend time with Elliot Dell, the CEO of Salt - a well known brand in the Digital Recruitment market, globally. Headquartered in London with 220 staff across offices in Asia, Australia, USA and the Middle East, Elliot joined as a recruiter and worked his way up to CEO after 10 years.

Salt didn’t actually exist when he joined, it was a small, family owned exec search business that soon changed with Elliot’s influence. As Salt gathered momentum, they soon acquired another business named 'Salt’ in New Zealand and that’s where things really took off.

Elliot has an incredible energy and passion for growing a fantastic business that can truly change the Digital Recruitment world. Whilst growing international teams at work, he is also the father of 3 children and has a super active lifestyle - an inspirational guy for sure!

Today I was joined by Doeke, the co-founder of WeAreKeen and agency providing in-house recruitment teams to start-ups, scale-ups and large enterprises across the Netherlands.

In this episode, he talked about how his country has reacted and dealt with lockdown and how his business has had to adapt to the change. Being an in-house agency with a relationship focused approach, he revealed how this has enabled them to stay close and support both clients and suppliers through a time that effects us all!
