EP331: From Recruiter at 15 to Managing Director - Chloe Marsh, MD of Get Recruited

In this episode of The Recruiter’s Recruitment Podcast, Lysha Holmes is joined by Chloe Marsh, Managing Director of Get Recruited, to explore an inspiring recruitment career that began at just 15 years old and has led to the boardroom.Chloe shares how she progressed through five promotions in eight years within the same business, the mindset shifts required to step into a Managing Director role, and why leadership is about preparation, trust and empowering others—not doing everything yourself.The conversation also tackles an often-overlooked topic: age discrimination against young recruiters. Chloe reflects on the challenges she faced early in her career and why the recruitment industry must do more to judge people on capability rather than age.Lysha and Chloe also discuss building a resilient culture during one of the toughest recruitment markets in recent years, balancing commercial performance with empathy, embracing multi-generational teams, and adapting strategies to keep moving forward when conditions are challenging.Whether you're an aspiring leader, experienced recruiter or recruitment business owner, this episode is packed with honest insights on career progression, leadership and creating a people-first culture.🔗 Connect with the guestChloe Marsh: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chloe-marsh-51685273/Get Recruited: https://www.get-recruited.co.uk/🔗 Connect with the hostLysha Holmes: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lyshaholmesr2r/Qui Recruitment: https://www.quirecruitment.co.uk/Follow the podcast on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts:https://www.youtube.com/@therecruitersrecruitmentpodhttps://the-recruiters-recruitment-podcast.captivate.fm/——————The Recruiter's Recruitment Podcast is proudly sponsored by Paiger, and partnered with Needi, Keybridge IT Solutions, Bristow & Hardy and Diversity in Recruitment.Our sponsor:Paiger - Making Recruiters Smarter and Faster.
