The Boardroom: Build a scalable, demand-led recruitment business
Turn your agency into a business that’s in high demand — and built for profit.
Most recruitment founders don’t aspire to build a corporate empire with hundreds of employees.
You want freedom, control, and financial success without being trapped in a cycle of constant pressure.
You want a business that fits around your life, not the other way around.
This is where The Boardroom’s Influence-Led Growth Model comes into play.

The modern recruitment business is a lean, high-margin operation that leverages your personal brand and influence to drive inbound demand.


Recruitment is changing. Do more than just keep up.
It’s time to build an agency that maximises profitability and eliminates inefficiency.
- The Boardroom is a 12-month strategic programme for founders of recruitment agencies who want to build a profitable, demand-generating business around their personal brand.
- Designed for those who have already built visibility and traction on LinkedIn and are now ready to scale - without relying on daily outbound activity, bloated headcount, or external agencies.
- The model is based on what we have done at Hoxo - generating over £2M in annual revenue using one full-time marketing and operations manager, and building an ecosystem that consistently turns content and community into sales.
This model is already delivering real-world success for recruitment leaders.

KYLE WINTERBOTTOM (DRIVEN BY DATA)
Built a community of Chief Data Officers generating over £1M per year in revenue through events, podcasts, and owned data channels.

CHRIS REDMOND (OTTRED)
Created a thriving executive search community in the Middle East, generating £700K in annual revenue with a specialist approach.

SCOTT BROWN (LESSONS IN LAW)
Launched a legal talent community in the UK and generated £400K in revenue within 12 months by positioning himself as a trusted authority.
What you'll achieve over 12 months.
01
Hire and embed a marketing & operations manager into your business (typically offshore in countries like South Africa or the Philippines at £1,500 to £2,000 per month).
02
Build a founder-led community with a clear content plan, online platform to pull people off LinkedIn and into your ecosystem, and a simple and consistent event strategy to deepen relationships.
03
Capture first-party data (names, emails, phone numbers) so you own your audience, and then automate marketing operations using AI and CRM tools to create scale.
04
Delegate tactical work so you can focus on growth, partnerships, leadership, and shaping your business.
05
Track sales ROI clearly - using the same measurement framework we use at Hoxo to attribute every single pound of inbound revenue to its source.
06
Generate multiple six-figures from a marketing strategy that’s fully owned and managed by the marketer within your business.

Why do you need this right now?
The recruitment and talent industry is getting louder, faster, and more crowded. AI has made outreach easier for everyone. Attention is harder to earn - and easier to lose. The founders who own their brand, platform, and data will dominate the next decade. The ones who don’t will be left competing on price and activity.
