Скачать или смотреть The Contract Recruiter’s Comeback: How Nick Chambers Rebuilt His Desk & Doubled His Weekly GP

In this episode, I sit down with Nick Chambers to unpack his journey from leading a high-performing contract team to stepping away from management and rebuilding his own desk.

Nick shares how his weekly GP dropped from £16K to £5.5K, the strategies he used to bounce back to £8.5K, and the mindset shifts that made the difference.

We dive into the client and candidate journeys that actually work, the power of community in contract recruitment, and how to turn a dip into your biggest growth phase yet.
