From 30 Direct Reports to Back-to-Back $1M Years as a Solo Founder with Zach Creighton

from Recruitment Mentors Podcast

In this episode, I sit down with Zach Creighton, founder of Hemans Talent, a financial services search firm he built from zero in Dallas.Texas. Zach spent a decade in recruitment, scaling the Selby Jennings Dallas desk to nearly 40 people, before walking away with 30 direct reports to go it alone, self-funded, with no brand behind him.We cover how he hit $1M in year one and backed it up with another $1M in year two, through relentless face-to-face BD, a disciplined niche focus, and a client strategy built around exclusivity without ever dropping his fees to get it.Connect with Zach here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zachary-creighton-14b080a0/Learn more about launching your recruitment business with Recruithub Here > https://www.recruit-hub.com/-------------------------Watch the episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/gy8ka0BUF_8-------------------------Podcast Sponsors: Claim your exclusive savings from our partners with the links below:Sourcewhale - Check Out Sourcewhale & Claim Your Exclusive Offer Here.Atlas - Check Out Atlas & Claim Your Exclusive Offer HereRaise - Check Out Raise & Claim Your Exclusive Offer Here.-------------------------Want more content like this?The Wednesday Debrief is our free weekly newsletter for recruiters who take their craft seriously.
