Every summit I've run so far has been built for recruiters on the desk.
But once you're responsible for more than your own desk, the problems change. Hiring and keeping good producers. Protecting your margins. Growing without the business taking over your life.
So for the first time, I'm running a summit built just for firm leaders and owners.
Three days. Owners and operators who've actually scaled firms. Free to attend live.

Who it's for
- Agency and search firm owners
- Recruiting leaders responsible for a team, not just their own desk
