Season 9 | Ep5 Jordan Shlosberg: Why agency recruiters will win (and internal TA won't)

Jordan Shlosberg: Why agency recruiters will win (and internal TA won't)

Jordan Shlosberg runs Atlas CRM—the fastest-growing, AI-native recruitment platform in the world.

Thousands of recruiters use his technology every day. Real-time data. Real billings. Real problems being solved.

If anyone knows what's actually working with AI in recruitment, it's him.

"Internal talent teams have a lot to worry about. Agency recruiters? There's a renaissance coming."

Here's why:

Agency recruiters have years of candidate conversations. Reference calls. Market knowledge built through relationships. The ability to cut through 1,500 AI-generated applications with actual insight.

Internal TA has a resume. Sometimes a screening call. That's it.

But here's the problem: agency recruitment only represents 7-8% of all hires in Europe.

We could grow our share massively. Or we could shrink into irrelevance.

The difference? How quickly we become AI-literate.

This week on The RAG Podcast, Jordan and I go deep on what's actually happening in recruitment AI.

We cover:

• Why Atlas crossed $1M ARR in 10 months while the market contracted
• How clients are growing from 4 to 15 seats in under a year
• The fatal flaw in "agentic job boards" like Jack & Jill
• Why sourcing platforms only show you 50% of LinkedIn's data
• The partnership we're launching to make recruiters top 5% AI users

This isn't another "AI is coming for your job" panic post.

This is strategic intelligence from someone watching what actually works across thousands of recruiters every day.

Every recruitment founder is investing in LinkedIn.

Spending thousands on Recruiter licences.

Building connections. Posting content. Growing networks.

But here's the question almost no one can answer:

How much revenue is LinkedIn actually bringing into your business?

Most founders have thousands of connections but no clear process to turn that attention into cash.

That's the problem we solve.

At Hoxo, we help recruitment founders build predictable revenue systems on LinkedIn, not just noise or vanity metrics.

Our clients are turning LinkedIn into £100K–£300K in new billings within months, using their existing networks and a simple repeatable process.

To show you how it works, we've created a short training video exclusively for RAG listeners.

In less than 10 minutes, you'll learn:

- Why most recruiters are getting zero measurable ROI from LinkedIn

- How small, niche teams are generating consistent inbound demand

- The 3X Revenue System we use to turn LinkedIn into a predictable cash-generating channel
