My name is Steve Begg. I've spent 35 years in recruitment — managing large agencies, rebuilding struggling ones, and developing the people inside them.
The single biggest challenge I faced throughout that time was getting people — new and experienced — to a point where they were consistently covering their costs as quickly as possible. Until that happens, every person on your team is a cash drain. I became obsessed with solving that problem.
In 2015 I built Recruitment School because the training I needed didn't exist. I required a comprehensive, practical program suitable for someone who had never recruited before — something that covered the entire process, not just the easy parts. Nothing in the market came close, so I built it myself and refined it across multiple agency implementations.
That same program is what you get today. Updated for current technology and market conditions, but built on the same foundation that has worked every time we've used it.
That's how I can make the claim. Not because I read about recruitment. Because I've done it, built teams around it, and trained people in it for 35 years.
One more thing. The recruitment training market is full of providers. Many are generalist HR trainers who cover recruitment as one of twenty topics. Others are Rec2Rec agencies looking for an additional revenue stream. I recently came across a specialist recruitment trainer with only two years of industry experience. I'll leave that with you.
At Recruitment School, recruitment is all we do. It's all we've ever done!
