  • Why the Best Women Recruiters Keep Leaving Your Firm

    Why the Best Women Recruiters Keep Leaving Your Firm
    2026/04/02
    Most recruiting firms aren't losing their best women because of the market. They're losing them because of how they're built. Augusta Mirchandani has watched it happen her entire career — high-performing women who outbill their peers, build the best client relationships, and then quietly disappear after a maternity leave, a life change, or one too many passive-aggressive performance conversations. She refused to accept that as inevitable. So she built something different. Augusta is the founder and CEO of AAA Global, a specialist recruiting firm across five countries — London, Amsterdam, Mumbai, Shenzhen, and Dubai — focused on the quant and discretionary finance space. She started the business at 26 after nearly getting PIP'd in her first seven months. She went on to become top junior biller that same year. After her first daughter was born, she opened four new countries in twelve months. In this conversation, Augusta makes the case that women don't leave recruiting because it's too hard. They leave because most firms are structurally designed for a workforce that no longer exists — rewarding office hours over performance, stripping books during maternity leave, and managing top female billers with indirect communication that is, in her words, insulting. She walks through exactly what needs to change and breaks down the billing methodology that made her a top producer: process-led, information-first, built on relationships rather than hard closing. If you run a firm, this is a direct challenge to how you operate. If you're a recruiter, it's a masterclass in what top performance looks like built over a decade. What you'll learn: The three structural changes male firm owners need to make right nowWhy indirect management of high-performing women is costing your firm placementsHow Augusta went from nearly PIP'd at month seven to top biller that same yearThe information-led method that closes candidates who aren't even looking to moveWhy having a child increased her output — and why most firms have it backwardsWhat to do with a biller's book during maternity leave so they return ready to performThe one question Augusta wishes every recruiter would ask about their own process Timestamps: 00:04 — Why women have a natural edge in relationship-driven recruiting00:07 — Three things male firm owners need to fix right now00:09 — What really happens to a woman's desk during maternity leave00:12 — How having a daughter made Augusta open four countries in one year00:18 — Seven months, 100 calls a day, no placement, nearly PIP'd00:21 — The process-led billing methodology that made her a top producer00:22 — Information-led selling: how to close candidates who aren't looking00:29 — What the first year of running your own firm actually feels like01:04 — The nudge Augusta would give every woman afraid to make the leap 🚀 Atlas — AI-first ATS & CRM.

  • From Hospitality to €500K: One of Europe's Top Recruiting Billers

    From Hospitality to €500K: One of Europe's Top Recruiting Billers
    2026/03/30
    He spent years managing luxury restaurants in Los Angeles and London. Then he walked into a recruiting office with zero industry knowledge — and became one of Europe's top billing recruiters. Jean-Louis-Philippe Girardet (JLP) didn't just cross industries. He rewired how recruiting gets done. 🎯 This Is Your Year — Recruiter Summit | April 27th | FREE Mike Williams, Brianna Rooney, Mark Whitby and a full week of the industry's best. All live sessions are free. 👉 https://this-is-your-year-recruiter-summit.heysummit.com/ Most recruiters burn energy chasing new clients when their next placement is already in their database. JLP proved it — 60% of his €500K billing year came from relationships he already had. This episode breaks down how he built it, how he led with luxury service standards in a sales-driven world, and what it really takes to go from top biller to team leader without losing what made you great. What You'll Learn The luxury hospitality service standard JLP applied directly to his recruiting processWhy 60% of his €500K year came from existing clients and how to replicate itThe duo billing model that sustained 20–30 open assignments simultaneouslyThe hardest truth about transitioning from top biller to team leaderWhy salary is taboo in France and what it reveals about building candidate trustThe 20/70/10 framework he uses to lead, differentiate, and make hard callsWhat Jack Welch's Winning taught him about competing at the highest level Jean-Louis-Philippe Girardet (JLP) billed €500K in a single year and $320K solo the year prior, specializing in legal and HR recruitment in France. A former luxury restaurant manager who worked at a Michelin-star restaurant in Los Angeles and the Waldorf Astoria in London, JLP now leads one of the top recruitment teams in his group in Montpellier. When you treat every candidate like a five-star guest and every client call like a table that needs turning in under ten minutes, results compound differently. JLP didn't just bring a different background to recruiting — he brought an entirely different standard. Hit play. This one will change how you run your desk.

  • She Closed a Deal in Labor — While Her Recruiting Business Kept Her Alive

    She Closed a Deal in Labor — While Her Recruiting Business Kept Her Alive
    2026/03/26
    Stephanie Lowenstern's LinkedIn looks like the highlight reel. South Florida recruiter. Founder. Boy mom. Building a go-to-market search firm for the best tech startups in the country. The kind of story that gets you double-tapped and scrolled past in two seconds. What the highlight reel doesn't show: her partner left when their son was five days old. She took a candidate call while she was in labor. She spent over $100,000 — on therapy, legal fees, moving costs, and healing work — funded entirely by her recruiting business. She celebrated 10 years sober in the middle of all of it. And she kept billing through every single day of it. This episode is the real story. Stephanie built her firm from scratch at 29 — no backing, no playbook, just a Squarespace website and blind faith — and hit $170K in year one without knowing what a Series B funding round was. When her personal life collapsed around a newborn, she didn't shut it down. She went on morning walks, listened to Joe Dispenza, cried at strangers in her neighborhood, and sourced candidates like a zombie who refused to stop moving. Because stopping wasn't an option. The business was the lifeline. What makes this conversation rare isn't the resilience story — it's what Stephanie learned on the other side. About rates she should have never cut. About the clients she should have walked away from sooner. About how showing up powerfully for candidates and clients starts with how you show up for yourself. And about why your peace is never going to come from the number. If you're going through something right now and still trying to run your desk — this one's for you. What You'll Learn: How Stephanie built a $170K first year with no recruiting firm experience and no external fundingWhy she kept billing through one of the most traumatic personal seasons of her life — and what three habits kept her business aliveThe $100K+ mistake she made cutting her rates to win business, and what she'd do differentlyHow to convert genuine relationships into clients without sounding like you're sellingWhy your internal state is the single biggest lever on your revenue — and how she rebuilt hersWhat she wishes more recruiters would actually ask her (and the answer she never gets to give) Atlas — The AI-first recruitment platform built to eliminate admin. It captures every conversation automatically and turns it into something you can use. With Magic Search, ask your entire database questions like "Who mentioned they're open to relocating next year?" and get instant answers — no keyword guessing, no digging through old notes. Atlas customers have reported 40%+ EBITDA growth and 80%+ increase in monthly billings.
