#57- The Mindset Shift That Separates Top Billers from Burnouts with Kate O'Neill

Episode Summary Alright folks, welcome back to The Digital Recruiter Podcast! I'm your host, Clark Willcox, and today, we’ve got a killer episode lined up. I’m sitting down with Kate O’Neill, founder of Job Slinger Academy, to talk about what really makes recruiters successful—beyond just KPIs and cold calls. Kate’s journey into recruitment wasn’t planned, but now she’s a top coach, helping agencies ditch outdated methods and build high-performing teams. And here’s the thing—most recruiters don’t struggle because they lack skills. They struggle because they’re stuck in limiting beliefs—about business development, rejection, and success. In this episode, we’re breaking down the real difference between coaching and training, how to spot recruiter potential, and why agencies overcomplicate growth. Plus, Kate gets real about burnout, leadership, and why tracking habits—not just results—drives long-term success. If you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed, this episode is packed with bold, honest, no-fluff insights to help you stop playing small and start owning your potential.
