Moira shares how her parents transformed a derelict building into a vibrant, multi use space that now includes shops, a café, and office areas. The café is coming up to their 10 years mark. </p><p>They discuss how workspaces have evolved, with many people now working remotely, in hybrid setups or returning to offices. Lysha also talks about her own business journey, which includes running a café, coworking space, event venue, and social media content business. She started at 16 by renovating and selling furniture, then expanded into content creation during the COVID-19 pandemic. </p><p>Today, Moira manages content for several clients and uses an AI scheduling tool called Motion&nbsp;to stay organised.</p><p>She emphasises the importance of supporting local food businesses and valuing simple, locally sourced meals. In recruitment, Lysha focuses on flexibility, creativity and autonomy, moving away from rigid traditional models. She also encourages diverse hiring, especially for people with interests in sports and other hobbies that foster teamwork and growth.</p><p>Lysha highlights the importance of supporting introverts and young professionals in the workplace, especially post pandemic. Moira advocates for patience, flexibility and creating safe environments for employees to grow. Finally, she stresses that sticking with a role longer can often lead to greater rewards, countering the trend of frequent job hopping.</p><p>Moira isn't on LinkedIn but feel free to follow The Drop Off cafe on all platforms.</p><p><br></p><p>-----------</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>The Recruiter's Recruitment Podcast is proudly sponsored by Paiger and partners to Needi, Keybridge IT, Bristol &amp; Hardy and Diversity and Inclusion .</p><p><br></p><p>Our Sponsor: </p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Paiger -  Making Recruiters Smarter and Faster.

Moira shares how her parents transformed a derelict building into a vibrant, multi use space that now includes shops, a café, and office areas. The café is coming up to their 10 years mark. </p><p>They discuss how workspaces have evolved, with many people now working remotely, in hybrid setups or returning to offices. Lysha also talks about her own business journey, which includes running a café, coworking space, event venue, and social media content business. She started at 16 by renovating and selling furniture, then expanded into content creation during the COVID-19 pandemic. </p><p>Today, Moira manages content for several clients and uses an AI scheduling tool called Motion&nbsp;to stay organised.</p><p>She emphasises the importance of supporting local food businesses and valuing simple, locally sourced meals. In recruitment, Lysha focuses on flexibility, creativity and autonomy, moving away from rigid traditional models. She also encourages diverse hiring, especially for people with interests in sports and other hobbies that foster teamwork and growth.</p><p>Lysha highlights the importance of supporting introverts and young professionals in the workplace, especially post pandemic. Moira advocates for patience, flexibility and creating safe environments for employees to grow. Finally, she stresses that sticking with a role longer can often lead to greater rewards, countering the trend of frequent job hopping.</p><p>Moira isn't on LinkedIn but feel free to follow The Drop Off cafe on all platforms.</p><p><br></p><p>-----------</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>The Recruiter's Recruitment Podcast is proudly sponsored by Paiger and partners to Needi, Keybridge IT, Bristol &amp; Hardy and Diversity and Inclusion .</p><p><br></p><p>Our Sponsor: </p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Paiger -  Making Recruiters Smarter and Faster.

Kristie emphasises the importance of marketing accountability and measuring ROI, especially as recruitment becomes more data driven and complex.</p><p>They both unpack the difference between personal branding and a full scale marketing strategy, with Kristie noting that while a personal brand can open door, especially in sales, it’s just one ingredient in the bigger picture. Lysha jumps in with a baking analogy, likening personal branding to the eggs in a cake, while the full marketing strategy is the recipe that brings everything together.</p><p>The conversation also covers scaling beyond the founder's brand, the role of strategic personal branding for leadership, and how executive profiling helps align public messaging with business goals. No more chasing viral posts - it's about creating purposeful content that aligns with company values.</p><p>When it comes to recruitment strategy, they focus on the "three C's": candidate acquisition, client acquisition and internal headcount.

Kristie emphasises the importance of marketing accountability and measuring ROI, especially as recruitment becomes more data driven and complex.</p><p>They both unpack the difference between personal branding and a full scale marketing strategy, with Kristie noting that while a personal brand can open door, especially in sales, it’s just one ingredient in the bigger picture. Lysha jumps in with a baking analogy, likening personal branding to the eggs in a cake, while the full marketing strategy is the recipe that brings everything together.</p><p>The conversation also covers scaling beyond the founder's brand, the role of strategic personal branding for leadership, and how executive profiling helps align public messaging with business goals. No more chasing viral posts - it's about creating purposeful content that aligns with company values.</p><p>When it comes to recruitment strategy, they focus on the "three C's": candidate acquisition, client acquisition and internal headcount. They emphasise the value of setting KPIs, tracking conversions and reactivating dormant contacts instead of constantly hunting for new leads.</p><p>To wrap it up, Lysha and Kristie explore the human side of marketing, discussing how relationships and referrals are still key.

Focusing on adaptability and proactive planning, she provides valuable insights on how businesses can maintain success even when facing pressure.</p><p>Lysha begins by emphasising the importance of going back to basics. In difficult times, it’s easy for companies to lose sight of their core principles, by revisiting the fundamentals of business, companies can streamline their operations, clarify objectives and ensure everyone is aligned toward common goals. This return to the basics can be a grounding force, helping organisations stay focused and efficient.</p><p>Lysha highlights how crucial it is for businesses to clearly define their KPIs, as they provide a vital feedback mechanism. Consistently monitoring these indicators, organisations can track progress, identify areas for improvement and make more informed decisions. This approach ensures that resources are allocated effectively and strategies can be adjusted as needed.</p><p>Lysha also discusses the critical role of business development, positioning it not just as a functional department but as a central driver of growth. In a crowded market, the need for businesses to actively seek new opportunities, build relationships, and innovate their offerings. A proactive approach to business development helps companies stay competitive and foster long-term success.</p><p>Host, Lysha, stresses the importance of thoroughness in hiring. She explains that a careful and detailed recruitment process, from crafting job descriptions to conducting in depth interviews, is essential to attract and retain the right talent. Hiring the right people is one of the most impactful factors for ensuring an organisation’s growth and sustainability. </p><p>She also touches on the need for continuous training and development within an organization. Lysha believes that investing in employee growth is not just beneficial for skills development, but also boosts morale and loyalty. A workforce that is constantly evolving and learning is better equipped to navigate the ups and downs of the market. Personal wellbeing is another focal point of the 5 points in the episode. </p><p>Lastly, Lysha makes a compelling case for the value of in-person meetings. While virtual interactions have become more common, she believes that face-to-face meetings are irreplaceable when it comes to building trust and developing strong relationships, especially in recruitment and business development. Lysha’s insights serve as a valuable framework for businesses looking to thrive in challenging markets.

With her knowledge of 25 years in the recruitment industry, to now transitioned into a training development role, running her own business. </p><p>They discuss how a billing manager role is a delicate balance between managing people and driving revenue, making it one of the toughest positions in the field. Briony argues that separating these functions might not be feasible, as it could lead to fewer people willing to take on such responsibilities.</p><p>The conversation also touches on the fact that management roles are often more vulnerable during economic downturns, and emphasizes the need for a long-term approach to team development rather than focusing purely on short-term revenue generation.</p><p>The duo then explores the key attributes of successful billing managers. They highlight the importance of a blend of altruism and self-motivation, effective team management, and strong time management. Briony adds that having a growth mindset and the ability to delegate tasks is critical, while Lysha points out that billing managers often go unrecognized for the complexity of their role, suggesting that training should focus more on the leaders above them rather than the managers themselves.</p><p>Briony recounts her experience of feeling overwhelmed in a leadership role, which led her to seek support and training. </p><p>Succession planning and talent development are further discussed, expressing the importance of identifying future business needs and aligning team skills accordingly, stressing the need for continuous communication and regular talent reviews to ensure team members are developing in the right direction. A layered approach to role development, starting with candidate side exposure works best. </p><p>Wrapping the episode up with a conversation about adaptability and the evolution of business roles, in recruitment. Talking about the importance of recognising where individuals excel and how the 360 recruitment model may not suit everyone.

With her knowledge of 25 years in the recruitment industry, to now transitioned into a training development role, running her own business. </p><p>They discuss how a billing manager role is a delicate balance between managing people and driving revenue, making it one of the toughest positions in the field. Briony argues that separating these functions might not be feasible, as it could lead to fewer people willing to take on such responsibilities.</p><p>The conversation also touches on the fact that management roles are often more vulnerable during economic downturns, and emphasizes the need for a long-term approach to team development rather than focusing purely on short-term revenue generation.</p><p>The duo then explores the key attributes of successful billing managers. They highlight the importance of a blend of altruism and self-motivation, effective team management, and strong time management. Briony adds that having a growth mindset and the ability to delegate tasks is critical, while Lysha points out that billing managers often go unrecognized for the complexity of their role, suggesting that training should focus more on the leaders above them rather than the managers themselves.</p><p>Briony recounts her experience of feeling overwhelmed in a leadership role, which led her to seek support and training. </p><p>Succession planning and talent development are further discussed, expressing the importance of identifying future business needs and aligning team skills accordingly, stressing the need for continuous communication and regular talent reviews to ensure team members are developing in the right direction. A layered approach to role development, starting with candidate side exposure works best. </p><p>Wrapping the episode up with a conversation about adaptability and the evolution of business roles, in recruitment. Talking about the importance of recognising where individuals excel and how the 360 recruitment model may not suit everyone. Businesses should invest in their people, focusing on continuous learning and leadership development</p><p>Connect with Briony here - <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/briony-platt-lean-into-learning/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/briony-platt-lean-into-learning/</a></p><p>22 Steps to a Successful Start: Whether you’re planning for new managers and leaders you’re hiring over the coming weeks and months, or you want to see if there’s anything that was missed, last time someone was hired or promoted, then you’ll want this checklist!&nbsp;<a href="https://hello.leanintolearning.co.uk/22-steps-sign-up" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://hello.leanintolearning.co.uk/22-steps-sign-up</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Developing the Next Generation of Recruitment Leaders: Learning &amp; Development had to take a back seat in many recruitment businesses in late 2023 and into 2024.
