When to Introduce an Operating System

Is your recruiting desk—or your entire firm—running on chaos instead of systems? You’re not alone. Most recruiters feel the turbulence daily… but the top-performing firms operate differently. They run on an Operating System that eliminates chaos, drives consistent billings, and creates scalable growth.

In this episode, Ben sits down with Kelsey Boyd, a transformational operator who helped overhaul a multi-brand recruiting organization—rebuilding systems, rewriting processes, revamping tech, and implementing EOS to create genuine business momentum. This conversation is a masterclass in turning recruiting chaos into predictable success.
