The Special Source - Simon Yeuong

What does it really take to build a high-performing recruitment business in 2026? In this episode of The Special Source, we sit down with Simon Yeung, Managing Director at Talent International, to break down what separates average recruiters from elite performers. With over 25 years in the industry, Simon shares how Talent consistently produces $1M+ billers, maintains low staff turnover, and builds a culture that actually lasts. We cover everything from market conditions across Australia to the real shift happening in recruitment, and why the old “360 recruiter” model might not be the future. If you're serious about building a long-term career in recruitment (or scaling a team), this one is packed with practical insight.
