In this episode, I sit down with Genie, founder of We Are Refyne, to unpack the hard truths from her first year running a recruitment business.From launching with no logo and limited experience, to turning over £364K and building a six-person team, Genie shares both the highs and the brutal lows, losing staff, unpaid invoices, and moments of doubt.We dive into the resilience it takes to keep going, the tactical wins that worked (like WhatsApp BD and SourceWhale), and why vision and culture matter even in year one.Connect with Genie here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/genie-burgess-a1342487/-------------------------Watch the episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/SHuIcTRWYfA-------------------------Sponsors - Claim your exclusive savings from our partners with the links below:Sourcewhale - Check Out Sourcewhale & Claim Your Exclusive Offer Here.Raise - Check Out Raise & Claim Your Exclusive Offer Here.-------------------------Extra Stuff:Learn more about our online skills development platform Hector here: https://bit.ly/47hsaxeJoin 5,000+ other recruiters levelling up their skills with our Limitless Learning Newsletter here: https://limitless-learning.thisishector.com/subscribe-------------------------Get in touch:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hishemazzouz/-------------------------
