Coach Recruitment

Is your agency running you?

Helping recruitment agency owners build profitable businesses - without the team drama, the burnout, or being the last one to leave on a Friday.

The problem

You built this business on your own billing, your own energy and your own standards.

Now everything still runs through you - every decision, every problem, every Friday afternoon.

The business grew because of you. It shouldn’t have to stop because of you.

As a business owner it can be quite lonely sometimes… Karen has always been there for me to speak to. She gives you the right blend of support and guidance, love and hardness, and I love her for it.

How I work

Every agency is different.

Every challenge lands somewhere across four areas: Sales, Staffing, Strategy and Structure. That’s the 4S System, and it’s how I work.

Clarity Sprint

Six one-hour sessions over 12 weeks. We diagnose where your agency is stuck and finish with a written 90-day plan. Where most owners start.

Foundation Builder

A 12-week programme with in-person days, DiSC profiling for your team, and hands-on support to put the plan into action. For owners ready to fix the foundations.

Leadership & Growth Partnership

A 12-month partnership building the leaders around you, so the business grows without everything running through you. For businesses that want change embedded, not just advised.

About Karen

30 years in recruitment

I’ve spent 30 years in recruitment - from the desk to Ops Director running multiple sites, and for the last seven years coaching agency owners through Coach Recruitment.

I’ve built branches, turned businesses around, and sat in the owner’s chair when it all felt like too much. I’m also an Authorised Everything DiSC Partner.

I’m direct, I’m practical, and I’ll tell you what you need to hear - with the support to act on it.
