    EP337: How AI & Data-Driven Leaderboards Let Recruiters Recruit! - Jordan Shlosberg, Founder, Atlas

    What happens when you stop forcing recruiters to work around their CRM and instead build technology around how recruiters actually work? In this episode of The Recruiter’s Recruitment Podcast, host Lysha Holmes chats with Jordan Shlosberg, Founder of Atlas, about the future of recruitment technology, the value of recruiter conversations and why the human side of recruitment still matters in an increasingly AI-driven industry. Jordan shares the story behind Atlas, from his previous businesses and lessons learned to identifying a fundamental problem in recruitment: recruiters need systems to scale, but traditional CRMs can take valuable time away from revenue-generating activity. They discuss: Why recruitment data is one of an agency’s most valuable assetsHow AI can turn conversations and activity into usable business intelligenceWhy CRM systems should help recruiters recruit rather than create more adminThe importance of structuring and retaining intellectual property when people leave a businessHow post-AI software is being built differently from legacy platformsRecruitment market trends, agency growth and what Jordan is seeing across Atlas customersThe future of AI-generated communication and personalised tone of voiceUsing CRM data to create more meaningful revenue forecastingWhy recruitment marketing and LinkedIn engagement matter more than many recruiters realiseHow Atlas’ data-driven leaderboards measure recruitment influence and engagement Jordan also explains where Atlas is heading next, including forecasting technology designed to help recruiters and founders understand what revenue could be coming down the line. 🔗 Connect with the guest Jordan Shlosberg: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordanshlosberg/ Atlas: https://recruitwithatlas.com/ 🔗 Connect with the host Lysha 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/@therecruitersrecruitmentpod https://the-recruiters-recruitment-podcast.captivate.fm/ —————— The Recruiter's Recruitment Podcast is proudly sponsored by Paiger and Atlas, and partnered with Bristow & Hardy and Keybridge IT Solutions.

    EP336: How Intelligent Businesses are Winning in Recruitment - Darren Westall, Co-Founder, Paiger

    Lysha Holmes welcomes back Darren Westall, Co-Founder of Paiger, for a wide-ranging conversation about business development, recruitment technology and what it really takes to thrive in the next phase of the industry. Darren shares his journey from becoming a CTO at 28 to founding Paiger, and explains how the platform has evolved into an AI-powered revenue layer focused on helping recruiters improve productivity, business development and GP per recruiter. The conversation explores why quality BD still matters, why “smile and dial” is dead, and how recruiters can use AI to research prospects, prioritise the best opportunities, identify hiring signals and create more targeted outreach. Darren also demonstrates Paiger Intelligence, including ideal customer profiles, market signals, research, contact discovery, personalised outreach and LinkedIn content. But this episode goes beyond technology. Lysha and Darren discuss the growing importance of KPIs, strategic hiring, productivity over headcount, and the dangers of building too much technology internally around a single employee. They also tackle the big question around AI: how do recruitment businesses use it to enable great people rather than replace them? With recruitment businesses beginning to grow again after a challenging period, Darren and Lysha look at why this could be the start of a healthier, more sustainable cycle for the industry — one built around expertise, better processes, smarter technology and keeping recruitment human. WHO THIS EPISODE IS FOR Recruitment business owners, agency leaders, recruiters, BD teams, operations leaders and anyone thinking about how AI, technology and better processes can drive sustainable growth. 🔗 Connect with the guest Darren Westall: https://www.linkedin.com/in/darrenwestall/ Paiger: https://paiger.co/ 🔗 Connect with the host Lysha 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/@therecruitersrecruitmentpod https://the-recruiters-recruitment-podcast.captivate.fm/ —————— The Recruiter's Recruitment Podcast is proudly sponsored by Paiger and Atlas, and partnered with Bristow & Hardy and Keybridge IT Solutions.
