    Is Your IT Provider Really Working in Your Best Interests? | Kan, Founder of Avensys Tech

    In this episode, Nitin sits down with Kan Mallawathantri of Avensys Tech for a wide-ranging conversation about IT, cybersecurity, MSPs, business growth, hidden costs and what recruitment businesses should actually expect from their technology provider. Recorded at the offices of Niyaa People in Birmingham City Centre, this episode gets into some uncomfortable questions around the traditional MSP model — including supplier lock-in, opaque pricing, unnecessary add-ons, configuration, margins and whether customers always know what they are actually paying for. Kan shares how Avensys Tech has grown significantly since his previous appearance on RecTalk, while maintaining its focus on standards, customer service and doing things properly from day one. The conversation covers: • Why IT standards can slip as businesses scale — and how Avensys Tech is trying to prevent that • Why changing IT suppliers can feel far more painful than it actually is • The problem with MSP lock-in and making it difficult for customers to leave • What recruitment businesses should understand about Microsoft 365 and the tools they may already be paying for • Hidden configuration, licensing and service costs • Whether businesses are paying for products and services they don't necessarily need • The difference between a genuine markup and an invisible markup • Why Kan believes IT providers should build systems that customers can take with them if they leave • Cybersecurity and the shared responsibility between businesses, their IT providers and software platforms • The risks of using public Wi-Fi and assuming a VPN solves every security problem • Why cybersecurity isn't just an enterprise issue — even small recruitment businesses need proper foundations • The importance of proactive IT support when something inevitably goes wrong • Why relying on DIY IT can create problems through configuration drift • The reputational and financial consequences of IT failures for recruitment businesses • Unmanaged AI tools, confidential information and the growing risks of employees using AI without proper governance • The potential dangers of becoming overly reliant on AI platforms and vendors • Why Kan believes the next stage of AI adoption could create new challenges for organisations There is also plenty of healthy debate between Nitin and Kan, with Nitin deliberately challenging some of Kan's views around margins, commercial models and whether businesses should be allowed to make money from the services and products they sell. WHO THIS EPISODE IS FOR • Recruitment business owners and directors • Recruitment operations leaders • Heads of IT and technology • MSP and IT service providers • Anyone responsible for cybersecurity within a recruitment business • Businesses considering changing IT suppliers • Recruitment leaders thinking about how AI should be governed within their organisation GUEST — Kan Mallawathantri: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kan-avensystech/ Learn more about Avensys Tech: https://www.rectools.io/product/avensys-tech/ HOST — Nitin Sharma: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nitin-rectools/ Episode filmed at the offices of Niyaa People: https://www.niyaapeople.co.uk/ Discover recruitment tools and services: https://www.rectools.io/ GET IN TOUCH WITH THESE RECOMMENDED SUPPLIERS SourceWhale: https://www.sourcewhale.com/?utm_source=Rectools&utm_medium=Youtube&utm_campaign=podcast_TRN_paid_2026h2&utm_content=shownotes Ascen: https://www.ascen.com/rectalk CoRecruit: https://corecruit.com/ Agile Partnering: https://www.agilepartnering.com/ Listen to RecTalk on another platform: https://rectalk.co.uk/ #RecTalk #Recruitment #RecruitmentIndustry #RecruitmentTechnology #IT #MSP #CyberSecurity #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #RecruitmentBusiness #Tech #Microsoft365 #BusinessGrowth #RecruitmentLeaders #AvensysTech

    Building Wealth & Preparing for Exit, with Christian Mather & Matt Fox

    *Get in touch with Christian or Matt below to learn more about their private workshop event on 14th October.* What does your recruitment business actually need to be worth for you to live the life you want? And what happens if you decide you want out before you're financially ready? In this episode of RecTalk, Nitin Sharma is joined by Christian Mather of One Day Wealth and Matt Fox of Exitus Advisory to explore the intersection between recruitment business growth, personal wealth and exit planning. Christian and Matt have developed a strong working relationship because their services complement each other: Christian focuses on helping recruitment founders understand their personal financial goals and "freedom number", while Matt works with recruitment businesses on growth, value creation and selling the business. Rather than keeping the conversation theoretical, they discuss real-life examples of recruitment business owners they've worked with, including: • A successful logistics recruitment business whose founders were ready to sell and how the business was prepared for a targeted buyer process • Why using generalist business brokers can create issues around fees, confidentiality and incentives • How recruitment founders can underestimate the value of their businesses • Why distressed business sales are fundamentally different from planned exits • A recruitment founder who built a successful contract recruitment business and needed to think beyond simply accumulating cash in the company • How personal financial planning can influence the way a recruitment business should be structured and grown • The importance of understanding your "freedom number" and working backwards from the life you actually want • Why business partners and spouses can have very different expectations about an eventual exit • Why exit readiness should be considered even if you have no immediate intention of selling • How client concentration, contracts, management structure, profitability and other factors can affect business value • Why founders shouldn't wait until they're exhausted, ill or facing a crisis before thinking about their options • How to build a recruitment business that can generate wealth for the founder even without an eventual sale There is also a discussion around the psychology of running a recruitment business — from the pressure of managing people to the point where founders start to feel differently about the business they've built. The central message is simple: your recruitment business should ultimately help you create the life you want, rather than becoming the thing that prevents you from living it.

    Will AI Agents Replace Recruiters? The Future of Recruitment with Siadhal Magos, Metaview

    AI is moving from assisting recruiters to actually doing parts of the recruitment workflow. But what does that mean for recruiters, recruitment agencies and talent acquisition teams? In this episode of RecTalk, Nitin Sharma speaks with Siadhal Magos, Co-founder & CEO of Metaview, about the rapid evolution of AI in recruitment — and what the next 18–24 months could look like. Siadhal shares the story behind Metaview, from its beginnings around capturing recruitment conversations and interview data to its evolution into an agentic recruiting platform. The conversation explores why context and data could become more important than the individual AI application itself, why recruitment technology is increasingly moving beyond traditional point solutions, and whether recruiters should simply use general-purpose AI tools such as Claude and ChatGPT rather than specialist recruitment technology. They also discuss the rise of AI agents and how they could eventually handle much more of the recruitment workflow — from sourcing and outreach to scheduling, pipeline analysis and candidate relationship management. But this isn't simply a conversation about AI replacing recruiters. Siadhal believes the human side of recruitment could become even more valuable: building relationships, influencing candidates and clients, understanding people, reading subtext and bringing the human judgement that AI can't easily replicate. So what does the recruiter of the future actually look like? And what should recruitment business owners and TA leaders be doing now to prepare? In this episode: • The evolution of Metaview • Why recruitment conversation data matters • How GPT changed the direction of AI recruitment technology • Why "context" could be the real AI moat • The move from point solutions to connected recruitment platforms • AI agents and the future of sourcing • Why generic AI isn't necessarily enough for recruitment • How AI could distribute tribal knowledge across recruitment teams • The changing role of recruiters • The emergence of AI "agent operators" • What humans will continue to do better than AI • How AI could reshape recruitment teams and workflows • What recruitment leaders should be thinking about over the next 18–24 months • Siadhal's thoughts on making your own decisions and being the best version of yourself WHO THIS EPISODE IS FOR Recruitment business owners, agency leaders, recruiters, talent acquisition leaders, HR tech professionals and anyone trying to understand what the rapid development of AI means for the future of recruitment. If you're wondering whether AI will replace recruiters, how AI agents will change sourcing, or how your recruitment business should adapt to the next wave of technology, this conversation is for you.

    How UK Recruiters Can Break Into the US Market | Charles Causey, Agile Partnering

    Thinking about taking your UK recruitment business into the US? In this episode of RecTalk, Nitin Sharma sits down with Charles Causey, founder of Agile Partnering, to unpack what UK recruitment businesses really need to know before making the move across the Atlantic. The US staffing market is significantly larger, often offers higher margins, and can present less competition in the small-to-mid-sized recruitment space. But entering the US isn't simply a case of picking a city and starting to recruit. Charles shares a practical roadmap for UK recruiters looking to test, launch and scale in the US — including why you don't necessarily need boots on the ground from day one, how an Employer of Record (EOR) can help you get started, and when it makes sense to establish your own US entity. The conversation also gets into the realities of US contracting, worker classification, workers' compensation, benefits, payroll, invoicing, credit risk, funding and the complexities of operating across multiple states. One of the biggest takeaways? Don't let the back-office become an excuse not to sell. Charles explains why the most successful recruiters focus first on finding their niche, winning their first client and making their first placement — then bring in specialist partners to handle the operational complexity. The pair also explore where the opportunities are emerging across the US, from financial services and life sciences to the rapidly expanding ecosystems around AI, data centres, energy, automation and robotics. And there's plenty of discussion about the mindset required to make it work: backing yourself, getting specific about your niche and geography, having the audacity to take action, and understanding what success actually means to you. WHO THIS EPISODE IS FOR • UK recruitment business owners considering expansion into the US • Recruitment founders looking for higher-margin markets • Recruiters thinking about launching a US desk • Staffing businesses exploring US contracting • Recruitment entrepreneurs wondering whether they need a US entity or boots on the ground • Agencies worried about US payroll, compliance, worker classification and back-office complexity • Recruiters looking for emerging niches around AI, data centres, energy, robotics and automation • Anyone who needs a reminder to stop overthinking and start taking action!

    TALKING TALENT - AI, Graduate Hiring & Why TA Needs More Than Specialists | Jen Hulme, BPP

    What does the future of Talent Acquisition look like when AI, skills-based hiring, graduate recruitment and workplace readiness are all changing at once? In this episode of Talking Talent, a RecTalk podcast, host Sean Kennedy — aka Sean the TA Guy — sits down with Jen Hulme, Head of Talent Acquisition at BPP, for a wide-ranging conversation about the realities facing recruiters, graduates and employers today. Jen shares her unconventional journey into recruitment, from studying maths and initially having no idea what she wanted to do, to building a career across recruitment, leadership, people analytics and talent acquisition. The conversation then dives into one of the biggest topics in TA right now: AI. Jen explains how she is using her analytical and coding background to explore AI, prompt engineering and talent transformation at BPP, including work on an in-house skills-based hiring mechanism. The discussion looks at how AI could help recruiters assess candidates more consistently, reduce the burden of manually reviewing hundreds of CVs and improve the connection between job descriptions, skills frameworks and candidate assessment — while keeping humans responsible for the final hiring decisions. Sean and Jen also tackle the growing challenges around graduate recruitment. With entry-level opportunities becoming harder to find and graduates struggling to understand which roles they should actually be applying for, Jen argues that employers, universities and education providers need to rethink how they prepare young people for work. They discuss the gap between being academically qualified and being genuinely workplace-ready, including communication, professional behaviour and the skills required to succeed once someone actually lands their first job. Other topics include: • Why AI should solve genuine problems rather than simply being added because it's fashionable • Build vs buy when it comes to TA technology • Skills-based hiring and the challenge of accurately measuring skills • Why traditional graduate job titles can make opportunities harder to find • Whether graduates really need to be in the office to develop workplace skills • The responsibility employers and universities have towards the future workforce • Why TA professionals need to develop their ability to lead and engage remotely • Jen's controversial take on specialist vs generalist recruiters • Why being a "Jack of all trades" can make you a stronger corporate TA professional • The importance of empathy and genuinely caring about candidates • Some of the worst — and strangest — behaviour Jen has encountered during her recruitment career • Why inclusion and ED&I shouldn't become an afterthought • The importance of keeping conversations around inclusion alive • What great Talent Acquisition professionals actually look like WHO THIS EPISODE IS FOR This episode is for Talent Acquisition leaders, recruiters, HR professionals, graduate recruitment teams, hiring managers, people working in recruitment technology, and anyone interested in how AI and changing workplace expectations are reshaping the future of hiring. It's also particularly relevant for anyone involved in early careers or graduate recruitment — and for employers thinking about how to make graduates genuinely ready for the world of work.

    RecTalk at RecFest: People Risk, Reputation & The Future of Hiring | Lorna Cobbett, Blue John

    We’re still at RecFest UK 2026, and this time Nitin Sharma sits down with Lorna Cobbett, Founder of Blue John, to talk about one of the biggest issues facing employers and talent teams today: people risk. Lorna is bringing a very different perspective to the HR tech space, combining her background in investment banking and reputation management with neuroscience to rethink how organisations understand the people they hire. At RecFest, Blue John launched Gray, its new people risk intelligence platform, designed to help organisations understand who someone really is — rather than simply relying on what they claim to be. In this episode, Lorna and Nitin discuss: • What “people risk intelligence” actually means • Why personal reputation and reputation due diligence matter when hiring • Why most organisations focus their due diligence on senior leadership while doing very little across the rest of the workforce • Blue John’s Gray platform and the thinking behind it • The five Blue John “trademarks”: Human, Rock, Architect, Compass and Chameleon • How purpose, compassion, trust, resilience, initiative and adaptability can influence whether people engage, disconnect or ultimately leave • Why there is no such thing as a “bad hire” — only the wrong hire for the wrong organisation at the wrong time • Why employers need to take greater responsibility for accurately representing their organisation and roles • The financial, cultural, reputational and operational cost of getting a hire wrong • Why middle managers are the critical “glue” between senior leadership and the wider workforce • The growing importance of understanding people risk in regulated sectors such as financial services, professional services and healthcare • The changing employment landscape and why organisations have less time to understand whether someone is genuinely right for the role • The emerging “talent reset” and why CEOs and CFOs need to think carefully about whether they have the right team for what comes next Lorna also shares her view that “the talent system is broken” and explains why putting people at the heart of organisational decision-making is central to what Blue John is trying to achieve.

    RecTalk at RecFest: Is Talent Acquisition Becoming “People”? | Gita Selli & Daryl Benson

    RecTalk is back LIVE from RecFest UK, with Nitin Sharma and Sean Kennedy joined by Gita Selli and Daryl Benson for a genuinely unfiltered conversation about the changing role of Talent Acquisition, the relationship between TA and HR, and why recruiters need to get closer to the operational heart of the business. And, naturally, there’s plenty of RecFest chaos along the way. From becoming accidental Lords and Ladies at a NOVA talent leaders dinner, to discovering the joys of free coffee and sweets, this is a very RecTalk conversation. The serious stuff starts with a question that came up repeatedly at RecFest: 👉 Is Talent Acquisition actually disappearing — or is it simply evolving? The group explores the idea that the traditional TA role could look completely different within the next 18 months, with “People Partner” and broader people-focused roles becoming increasingly common. But the bigger debate is where TA should actually sit within an organisation. Should Talent Acquisition be part of HR? Or should it sit closer to operations and the wider business? The conversation gets into why TA can become overly transactional when recruiters are simply handed a requisition and told to “go find this person”, rather than being brought into the conversation around business strategy, workforce planning and future hiring needs. Gita brings a different perspective, explaining how TA and HR can work together as genuine partners — from culture and talent mapping through to having a seat at the table with business leadership. Daryl and the group debate whether that experience is becoming the norm or whether it remains the exception. They also discuss: • Why TA needs to partner with hiring managers rather than simply fulfil requisitions • Whether Talent Acquisition belongs in operations rather than HR • How being too closely associated with HR can make TA more transactional • Why recruiters need to understand the future direction of the business, not just today's vacancies • The changing language around HR, TA and “People” functions • Whether the next generation of HR leaders will come through Talent Acquisition And because this is RecTalk at RecFest, there are plenty of stories, laughs and completely unexpected tangents along the way.
