The RAG Podcast - Recruitment Agency Growth Podcast Season 7 | Ep18 - Dan Moussa & Kevin Warner on reaching over 7 figures in 11 months of trading through a 100% retained, productised recruitment model!
Today I was joined by Dan Moussa and Kevin Warner, the founders of Telesca.
Telesca is an 11 month old recruitment business headquartered in Brisbane with a completely unique model.
These guys recruit in the energy and sustainability space and in a short space of time they’ve built a business with the following
- 100% retained (30% upfront / 70% on success)
- Productised model with clear pricing and delivery structure
- Utlisation of Offshore experienced recruiters in Philippines.
- Soon to be 11 staff, every member of the team has 7+ yrs of experience
In 11 months, they've generated over 7 figures but most importantly, they’ve done it in their own way!
In this episode, we talk about
- How they met
- How they started the business
- Why they started the business
- How they have achieved the 4 steps above!
We really go into detail about this model because I genuinely think it's amazing. I mean, it's super profitable, super scalable and sustainable as well, win win!
You don’t wanna miss this!

Episode Sponsor: Untapped
Safe to say it’s been a tricky year for the recruitment sector globally. Many have had to operate through uncertain times, making tough calls and streamlining where possible.
However, accessing lower-cost resources internationally has proven to be the 2023 cheat code for business performance. But anyone who has tried it knows it’s not easy to get right. That’s where Untapped comes in.
Untapped is one of the hottest companies in the market right now, helping agencies in the UK, US, Middle East and Australia transition to the new world, leverage elite remote individuals and even build whole offshore sourcing and recruiting teams.
They source from the most exciting talent pools on the planet for recruitment staff and embed elite talent into your company to improve diversity, productivity and the cost of your teams. Your UK team will also love the help with some of the repetitive, time-consuming work that lands on their desk, improving their job satisfaction.
They put around 3000 candidates per month through an intense 4-stage interview and online testing process to find the top 1% and secure these people roles in UK agencies doing research, marketing, finance, sourcing, end-to-end recruiting, coordination and account management.
All candidates are benchmarked against UK competency frameworks and are tested for the highest level of communication and language skills.
It’s a simple process: You pay a deposit to kick off the search, they provide a candidates shortlist in 14 days. You can also put people through your own process and then hire perm or on a freelance basis, depending on your needs. They are totally transparent with salaries. Typically your global talent will earn 30% more than their local benchmark giving you high levels of motivation and work ethic, but you’ll still pay 70% less than a UK equivalent support. It’s a no-brainer to complement existing teams to handle surplus demand or to ease cost pressures.
If you’re not using this time to rip up your business model and rebuild it with global resources, you are going to fall behind those that do. Due to demand and capacity restraints, they are operating a waiting list at the moment, so be quick to get in touch: www.tryuntapped.com
