Hosted by Hishem Azzouz, this is a show for recruiters who want the working detail rather than the theory. It calls itself the #1 most practical recruitment podcast in the world, and recent episodes back that framing: founders talking through the numbers behind their agencies, the mistakes they made, and what changed when they narrowed focus. Sitting across business, careers and entrepreneurship, it speaks to consultants and agency owners at every stage.

Since August 2020 it has published 503 episodes and about 366 hours, with new instalments landing several times a week. Most run around 44 minutes, though they stretch from 5 minutes to an hour and twelve, leaving room for a quick idea or a longer conversation. Recent guests include Mollie Gunn, Paul O'Shaughnessy and Patrick Reynolds. Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and YouTube.
