The recruitment sector is splitting in two and when this happens, the middle often disappears. Time to choose your side before the market chooses for you!

On one side we see a deeply transactional approach: scrape for vacancies, scrape for candidates, repeat and hope something sticks.

It's all about speed, volume, automation, tech and of course, AIs.

But on the other side, you have something very different: -

✅ Deep understanding of a niche

✅ Genuine advisory capability

✅ Trusting relationships built over years

✅ Emotional intelligence when stakes are high

✅ Consultancy, not commodity supply

✅ An absolute obsession with quality and high service levels.

Sure, this faction uses AI to amplify their abilities but it's not at the core of what they are.

They use specific AI agents to make them more efficient at those things listed above.

In this episode of the #MARShow we'll be welcoming Ed Blogg as our guest.

As the CEO of RecruitHub he's seeing the market shift first hand.

I firmly believe that that second lane is where recruiters need to be to thrive in the New World.

And that is exactly what we'll be discussing. A clear direction PLUS plenty of practical steps you can take to make sure you prosper in 2026 and beyond.

This is happening, better to be on the front foot than late to the party.

I don't know about you, but I like to start the year with some quick wins. Small, cost-free changes that will make a big impact on profitability.

So that's what we're going to do in the last MARShow of the year.

We will be looking at what's working right now and bringing four things you can do to improve your productivity, to your attention.

We'll have several tips (example in brackets below) for each of the following: -

✅ Delivery – where you make the placements
(One way to make more revenue from your existing team)

✅ Sales & marketing – where you attract the best prospects and convert them into clients
(One way to speak with high-value decision makers who you normally can't reach)

✅ Client Care – where you max out your revenues and keep the competition at bay
(How to find out your real USPs in just a few minutes)

✅ The Team – the people who actually do the work.
(When you can safely hire a new member of the team)

We want to make it easy for you to make the changes we suggest and see a benefit, fast.

No special skills, no deep experience and no fancy tools or training required.

Right now, we have more than four things share so who knows, maybe we'll sneak in a bonus tip too.

Let's face it. These days recruitment tech is overwhelming. What should you have and what should you do with it?

Well, in the next hashtag#MARShow we aim to fix this.

We have Rob Green 🚀 the founder and CEO of Rectec coming on the show.

Rob helps recruitment firms select the right software for them and so knows more about rec tech than most of us!

As usual, it's live and interactive so you can ask what you like but here are the topics we plan to cover: -

✅ The core systems every recruitment business should have in place.

✅ Where the add-ons, automations, and AI tools fit in and which ones deliver tangible value.

✅ How to approach tech buying more strategically, so you're not just adding noise or chasing the latest trend.

Rob is adamant that people should NOT see a shiny piece of tech and buy it. There lies misery and disappointment.

But rather intentionally buy your tech so that it actually benefits your business and gives a good ROI. Wouldn't that be nice.

You should attend this live stream if you: -

1️⃣ Are overwhelmed or confused about which tech you need and seek clarity

2️⃣ Want to make sure you get the right tech for your business.

3️⃣ Would like to know what's new out there and worth looking at.

Technology is meant to give us an edge and make us more efficient. Let's make sure it does.
