Season 7 | Ep27 - Calvin Lee-Picket on building a revenue-generating candidate community!

The RAG Podcast - Recruitment Agency Growth Podcast

On this week's show, I'm delighted to be joined by Calvin Lee-Pickett, the CEO and founder of Calvin James Recruitment.

Calvin came from the UK to Dubai as an employee of Robert Half Recruitment, a global organisation. A few years later, he decided to start his own business.

Without any experience as a business owner, he has grown organically over the last five years. And in this past year, things have REALLY changed for Calvin and his team!

In this episode, Calvin discusses how he pivoted his business model to monetise the growing candidate base he’d built and the challenges he faced in setting up a business in Dubai. We also talk about the impact of COVID-19 on the business and the importance of building a solid personal brand.

Calvin is a really great guy who’s building something special. You don’t want to miss this one!

Takeaways

• How pivoting your business model can create new revenue streams and opportunities for growth
• The challenges (and opportunities) in setting up a business in a new country – and the importance of strategic planning and determination in getting it right
• Agility and adaptability in the face of challenging circumstances
• The role of an authentic brand in attracting the right team members, candidates, and clients
• Lifestyle changes and how they can help you become more focused in every aspect of your work and personal life
