Evolution Of Recruiting Episodes

Tom Kelly hands over the two frameworks that explain how EVONA runs a 30-person team at the revenue of an 80-person team. The first is a sales segmentation that exposes the bracket quietly sinking most agencies — the middle 60% who measure themselves against the bottom 10% instead of the top. The second is the 25-interview rolling 4-week benchmark that defines elite at EVONA, reverse-engineered from a 12-to-1 interview-to-placement ratio. Tom also unpacks why he'd hate to be running a big recruitment firm right now, the AI governance problem coming for scaled agencies, the LinkedIn spam wave about to wash through, and why recruitment is now IQ over EQ. He closes with the stutter that built his career, the books that shaped him, and the one piece of advice for every recruiter facing the next 18 months.
