The Resilient Recruiter

Tired of the outdated “thirds” model in executive search? Andrew Mears was too. That’s why he co-founded Lead Candidate—a niche search firm serving the pharma and bio-outsourcing sector—based on a transparent, fixed-fee subscription model that’s up to 30% more cost-effective than traditional pricing.In this episode, Andrew reveals how Lead Candidate went from break-even to 133% revenue growth by rethinking everything: pricing, positioning, sales, and even internal rituals like “Tom’s Day of Bad Ideas.” You’ll hear how they grew entirely through referrals—no cold calls, no job scraping, no outbound—and why clients commit to 3–18 month subscription agreements that provide predictable revenue for the firm and budgeting certainty for their CFOs.If you're a recruitment firm owner frustrated with unpredictable billings, client churn, or the limitations of contingent search, this conversation will show you what’s possible when you lead with values, relevance, and partnership—not pitches.Episode Highlights[3:24] Why Andrew left a COO role to start over during COVID—and how a health scare changed his outlook[12:22] The broken search pricing model—and how Lead Candidate built a better one[22:30] Defining a niche within a niche: how their positioning sets them apart[31:55] Capsule vs. Scale vs. Annual Subscription: how their pricing tiers work[43:39] Why they broke even for 2 years—then tripled revenue during a downturn[56:42] How they land clients without cold outreach[1:08:06] Tom’s Day of Bad Ideas: the internal ritual that drives innovation[1:19:20] How they’re using AI tools like Quill to free up human interactionWhy This Subscription Model WorksInstead of charging a percentage of salary in staged fees, Lead Candidate scopes each project based on hiring volume, role complexity, and delivery effort. Pricing is fixed, agreed upfront, and delivered via subscription—typically 3, 6, or 12+ months.This approach gives clients cost transparency and spending predictability—especially valuable for VC-backed, resource-constrained companies—and positions Lead Candidate as a strategic partner rather than a transactional vendor.No Cold Calls, Just ClientsLead Candidate didn’t rely on cold outreach. Before launching, Andrew’s team surveyed the market, co-created their offer with prospects, and built deep trust through relevance and listening. Their early clients didn’t need convincing—they were already bought in.“We never sold. We just listened. The worst outcome was a great conversation.”This approach helped them create a high-conviction pipeline, long-term client relationships, and sticky recurring revenue—without chasing unqualified leads or relying on outdated biz dev tactics.A Values-First Growth StoryThe journey wasn’t easy. For the first two years, they broke even. But Andrew and his co-founders stayed true to their niche, hired with care, and grew by reputation. By 2024, the firm had grown 133% in revenue and 250% in headcount—without compromising on culture or delivery quality.“We built the business the market told us it needed—and just stayed true to it.”About Andrew MearsAndrew is the CEO of Lead Candidate, a search firm he co-founded in 2020 to champion talent in the global life sciences sector. He began his career in HR before moving into executive recruitment, where he’s spent 16+ years building national and international practices.Connect with Andrew on LinkedInVisit Lead CandidatePeople and Resources MentionedQuillAssistCV (by Odro)ChatGPT“Buy Back Your Time” by Dan Martell“Built to Sell” by John Warrilow“Molecule to Market” PodcastConnect with Mark Whitby Book a free strategy call Mark on LinkedIn @RecruitmentCoach on Instagram @MarkWhitby on Twitter

What does it take to transform a 500-person staffing company and restore profitability while maintaining high engagement and renewed purpose? In this episode of The Resilient Recruiter, you'll hear how one leader rebuilt culture and strengthened organizational performance through people-first leadership, without sacrificing values or authenticity.After joining the company as a trainee in 2001, Matthew Wragg eventually became CEO in 2022. In this conversation, he shares the inside story of the business transformation at Gattaca PLC: removing executive offices, tying leadership bonuses to employee engagement, and launching a new cultural framework that turns values into specific, observable behaviors. We also dive into his personal lessons from two decades in recruitment, including the wins and mistakes that shaped his approach to growth, leadership, and resilience.Episode Highlights[05:46] How Matthew got into recruitment and why he stayed with one company[14:23] From trainee to CEO: lessons in ambition and internal branding[22:00] The £30M deal they lost—and how they won it back[30:55] Using culture and values to improve employee engagement[46:01] Removing executive offices and linking pay to engagement scores[49:48] How “Changing Up the Game” became a strategic reset during COVID[52:18] Aligning the team around clear, behavioral definitions of company values[59:29] How Gattaca is thinking about AI adoptionLosing a £30M Dealand Using It to Win Future BusinessMatthew shares how Gattaca lost a £30M contract despite having the experience, pricing, and capability. The reason? They didn’t take the time to understand the client. He took responsibility, re-engaged with the customer over 12 months, and eventually won the deal back—this time at a 70% higher price.This loss prompted a shift in sales culture: more discovery, less assumption; more trust, less volume. It was a turning point in how Gattaca approached strategic selling.How Culture and Values Fueled Gattaca’s TurnaroundWhen Matthew stepped in as CEO, the company was struggling with flat growth and low engagement. His first move was to prioritize people. He eliminated glass offices to flatten hierarchy and increase visibility. He began weekly internal video updates and tied 10% of leadership compensation to employee engagement.He personally reviews hundreds of anonymous employee comments each month—starting with the negatives. Over two years, this helped shift Gattaca from 58% detractors to 58% promoters, even in a tough market.How Gattaca’s “DNA Deck” Turned Culture into PerformanceTo make values actionable, Gattaca launched a “DNA deck” that defines specific behaviors tied to each value. These are reviewed quarterly and fully integrated into performance management—alongside sales and effort metrics.One example: “Be brave enough to tell the truth, but kind enough to say it the right way.” Each principle includes examples of “what good looks like” so there’s no ambiguity. No one can top-score on performance if their behavior doesn’t align with the culture.Matthew Wragg – Bio & ContactMatthew Wragg is CEO of Gattaca PLC with 23+ years in recruitment. Starting as a trainee in 2001, he progressed through senior leadership roles before becoming CEO in 2022. He has led Gattaca through an organizational reset focused on purpose, vision, and values—prioritizing sustainable growth, employee engagement, and cultural clarity.Matthew on LinkedInGattaca PLC WebsiteGattaca on InstagramConnect with Mark WhitbyBook a FREE 30-minute strategy callMark on LinkedInInstagram | Facebook | TwitterSubscribe to The Resilient Recruiter on your favorite platform.

How do you grow a high-margin recruitment business without hiring a big team—or chasing every lead? And what happens when you go all-in on yourself, right before a global pandemic?In this episode, I’m joined by Jordana Matsos, founder of Higher Equity, who shares how she launched a solo sales recruitment agency with no prior agency experience—and grew it into a $500K+ business by being radically transparent, highly organized, and boldly direct.We discuss why blunt messaging often works better than polished sales talk, how Jordana systematized her entire operation to run lean, and the lessons she learned after scaling too quickly. She also shares how she created an online academy for job seekers, turning inbound candidate traffic into an additional revenue stream.Episode Highlights:[03:43] From sales leader to recruiter: Jordana’s career pivot[11:16] Building the business: pricing, tools, and tech stack[14:28] Leveraging video and short-form content to attract talent[21:58] What went wrong when she scaled too fast[28:45] Creating the HireQuity Academy to serve job seekers[40:46] SOPs and templates that saved time and ensured consistency[45:48] Business development: blunt pitches, smart triggers, and warm referrals[58:30] Why transparency builds trust with both clients and candidatesBlunt Messaging That ConvertsJordana’s “blunt honesty” approach is one of her biggest differentiators. She shares full job details upfront—company name, comp, and expectations—which earns her 55–70% candidate response rates. For clients, her pitch deck goes out in the first message, including fee structure and recent placements, eliminating unnecessary back-and-forth and building immediate trust.Systematizing Solo SuccessComing from a corporate sales background, Jordana knew she had to create repeatable, efficient processes. She templatized everything—from client onboarding to follow-ups and outreach. Tools like Google Sheets, Taplio, Otter.ai, and Aspect helped her automate and scale as a solo operator.Lessons from Scaling Too FastAfter a strong first year billing nearly $300K solo, Jordana hired a full-time recruiter, BD rep, and sourcer. But expenses skyrocketed, margins plummeted to 20%, and client relationships suffered. She course-corrected by downsizing, letting go of low-margin clients, and doubling down on her niche—bringing her gross margins back to 60%+.Creating a Revenue Stream with PurposeUnable to serve every candidate personally, Jordana built the HireQuity Academy—an online course that gives job seekers an inside look at how recruiters think. With templates, interview prep, and real-world advice, it helps candidates stand out—and gives Jordana an additional income stream without trading time for money.About Jordana MatsosJordana spent 15 years leading sales teams before founding Higher Equity in 2021.
