How a Recruiter Built a 4000 Monthly Side Hustle in Interview Coaching
from The Side Hustle Career Podcast with Fexingo: Second Income, Freelancing While Employed · host Fexingo
In this episode, Lucas and Luna dive into the story of Sarah, a corporate recruiter who turned her insider knowledge into a $4,000-per-month interview coaching side hustle. They break down how she identified a gap in the market: candidates who had the skills but froze in interviews. Sarah built a simple funnel using LinkedIn outreach and a free 'STAR Method Cheat Sheet' to attract clients. They discuss her pricing model ($150 per session, three-session minimum), how she scaled to 10 clients a month while working a full-time recruiting job, and the key systems she put in place to avoid burnout — including a block-booking calendar and a templated feedback loop. Lucas and Luna also explore the ethics of coaching candidates for jobs at competing companies, and whether this side hustle is replicable for non-recruiters. The episode wraps with a discussion on how to spot niche service opportunities hidden in plain sight within your current day job. #InterviewCoaching #SideHustle #CareerCoach #Recruiter #LinkedInStrategy #STARMethod #JobSearch #FreelancingWhileEmployed #ServiceBusiness #NicheMarket #CoachingBusiness #PersonalBrand #Sarah #Careers #SecondIncome #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #SideHustleCareer Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
