Intro

What happens when a $900K-a-year recruiter decides to stop building for others—and builds her own AI product instead?

Jessica Oliver didn’t have a tech background. No coding degree. No startup team. But that didn’t stop her from vibe coding her own SaaS platform for government contracting—all while running her recruiting business and raising three kids.

This episode is a masterclass for recruiters ready to go beyond placements and build something bigger.
