Growing a big rec firm is hard and risky. Staying solo is lonely and limits income. But there's a third way that also makes you wealthy.

So what is that third alternative?

A safe, highly profitable recruitment business that doesn't rely on you doing delivery, if you don't want to.

It's called a Profit–Lifestyle–Wealth (PLW) business, and it's the focus of our next hashtag#MARShow.

A PLW recruitment firm still places people, just like any other agency.

The difference is how it's structured and managed.

The goal is to protect the business, maximise profits, and intentionally move you out of delivery—without building a large, stressful firm.

In this show, you'll learn:-

✅ How to significantly increase profits without increasing costs

✅ How to build a small, stable and productive virtual team

✅ How to remove yourself from delivery

✅ What your new role should be, once time is freed up

✅ How to confidently size your endgame team

✅ How to build real wealth without selling your business (which rarely happens)

This show is ideal if you're tired of doing everything yourself—but have zero desire to build a large recruitment firm.

It's about creating a profitable and stress-free life, then retiring in comfort.

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.
