110: Demystifying Business Development for Recruiters [RECORDED LIVE IN LONDON]

The final episode in a series from our exclusive London event —where we gathered 20 of the area’s top recruitment movers & shakers for panel conversations, Q&As, and some good old fashioned networking.

In this session, we dive into some important topics within the realm of business development — how to reach out, when to follow-up, and how persistent to be. Bizdev often feels like this mystical thing, but in reality, recruiters are already doing “sales” in their day-to-day — so making the transition may not be as complicated as you think.

Given the fact that this was recorded live at an event, you may notice that the sound quality is not at our standard level — we apologize for that, but certainly think this content is still well worth a listen! If you need a little extra help making some of this out, we recommend heading to our Youtube channel to watch the recording with captions.
