Women who recruit- real stories of women building successful recruitment careers, teams and businesses. Hosted by- ME!
An honest, no topic off limits podcast for women in recruitment who want to hear what building a career- and sometimes a business- really looks like for our guests.
Each episode is a real, open and vulnerable conversation about navigating careers, leadership, growth, family, burnout, ambition and day to day life- in a way that’s human, not polished.
This isn’t a podcast about the big rise to the top.
It’s a heart to heart about the ongoing journey- and what it truly looks like for women finding their way through work, life and everything that comes with it in our industry.
One Brave Decision Can Change Everything- Maria Perry- Hustle Talent

How success brings you freedom- Jill Ryder- Founder- Precision Sourcing
This week on Women Who Recruit, I'm joined by Jill Ryder, Founder of Precision Sourcing. Now, lets start by saying, I am a bit of a fan girl of Jill's.

From moving to London as a graduate who was kind of "winging it", to building one of Australia's most respected Tech Agencies that's now in its 21st year, Jill...

"Just F*cking Do It" Courage, Career & Backing Yourself- Sophie Lane- Sestra People
In this episode, I sit down with Sophie Lane for a conversation that feels like catching up with a friend who tells it like it is, and makes you laugh deliciously along the way. We talk about wanting to quit recruitment every week in the early days, earning her first commission cheque of just a few dollars, and the resilience it takes to keep showing up when success feels a long way off. Sophie also shares the leap from a secure, successful career into starting her own business, a...

Motherhood, Money & Making It Your Own- Emily McLeod- WOW Recruitment
Some podcast conversations leave you thinking about them long after they finish. This was one of them. I'd followed Emily's journey for years before we sat down together, but what struck me most wasn't just her success. It was just how open, warm and incredibly humble she is. We spoke about building a business while building a family, and all of the messy, complicated bits that don't usually make it onto LinkedIn. The reality of preparing a business for maternity leave. Coming back after havi...
