Join Jump for this week’s discussion, “The Big Stick is Broken,” where we tackle essential strategies for recruitment leaders. We explore effective approaches for a recruitment agency to achieve sustainable business growth.
This session is crucial for any staffing agency or recruiting business looking to thrive in the current recruitment industry, offering vital leadership skills to navigate market changes.
82% of UK recruitment managers were promoted into leadership with zero formal training. And right now, that’s quietly destroying your retention, your billings, and your best people.
If you’re a recruitment agency owner or director, the stats are brutal: 43% attrition in the UK recruitment market, 53% of recruiters reporting burnout, and 28% of employees saying they’ve left specifically because of their manager. The ‘big stick’ approach — KPIs, pressure, and commission as the only motivators — isn’t just outdated. It never actually worked. Recruiters just had nowhere else to go.
In this masterclass, Howard, Paul, and Dave — coaches and mentors to recruitment agency owners across the UK — break down exactly what great recruitment leadership looks like in 2026, and the specific habits that are silently pushing your best people out the door.
In this masterclass, you’ll discover:
• Why purpose and growth path now outrank commission as retention levers — and how to rebuild yours
• The 5 leadership levers every recruitment owner must understand (and which one most are weakest on)
• How to lead your graduate, your senior consultant, and your top biller completely differently — in the same week
• Why ‘paying commission’ is not recognition, and what great recognition actually looks like in 2026
• The weekly leadership rhythm — Monday to Friday — that separates growing agencies from stagnant ones
• The 3 subtle habits recruitment owners think are fine that are actually driving a slow-motion resignation
• The one question to ask your top biller on Monday that will tell you immediately if you still have a future together
