Course Description

Get ready to rack up more client billings than you ever thought possible.

The strategies in this course are by far the #1 reason for my success in the last 5 years. 

In that time period, I have gone from new grad entry level recruiter, to staffing & recruitment business owner, to serial entrepreneur, to now having sold my staffing & recruiting business just 2 years after its founding and after 5 total years in the business. 

How did I do it?

I became a sponge and soaked absolutely everything up.

I was mentored by some of the best in the business and I very quickly became a hybrid version of my mentors. The owner of the first firm I worked at told me that I am like a sponge-- I soak up and use everything that anyone ever tells me. 

Little did he know, that was just the beginning.

I have taken those best practices and cutting edge strategies and have since added my own twist. Actually-- much more than just a twist. The content of this course is the result of staffing and recruiting sales innovation, trial and error, experimentation, long hours and extremely motivating 'Why Power' (ie: supporting my family of 6). 

A breakdown of my 5 year journey:

  • Started at a small boutique staffing firm in 2011 and stayed for a year-- billed $250K, 61 permanent placements
  • Moved on to a large multinational IT recruitment firm-- was awarded top permanent recruiter honors 3 out of my 6 months. Was fastest person in company history to opt for full commission, discontinuing salary draw.
  • Became an independent recruiter under the umbrella of a larger network and built my own small office of 5 recruiters working under me.
  • In 2014 I founded LyrGroup, a staffing agency specializing in Engineering, Labor, and Administration.
  • Sold LyrGroup in 2016.
  • Have worked remotely since 2015 while travelling with my family.

Ryan has great experience and has tasted success in the Recruitment & Staffing business. But can he also include templates to keep candidates engaged till such time they join, templates for followups with candidate / client, templates for proposals to prospects, templates for recruitment agreements, templates to ask candidates questions / or taking them thru the hoops etc.

It was a good match for me, I learnt that you should not take everything as a set back, let it be a learning curve. Also learnt about using LinkedIn as a source to recruit by generating leads and following people. Very informative.

By Lilian Bagambe on 11/11/2019

Yes it is a good match. I am getting a good appreciation of business development and how to go about it. Not to try and go for everyone rather be focused on a niche. I also like the prospect of splitting with other recruiters

By Shashank Bajpai on 4/9/2019

I mean the content si far is nothing but common sense other than the rating system introduced, The instructer needs to cover varied concepts such as MSP's, ISP's, ATS, VMS, Boolean search, Job boards, job boards as per different industries, difference in recruitment in different countries and many more concepts, so far not satiesfies

By Jeff Miles on 12/17/2018

I was expecting stronger use of Templates and advice - but this may come in later lessons. How to lay out a spreadsheet i.e First name, Surname, Phone #, Company business name, website address How to get clients details How and where to build a Candidate database. I now have a list of 500 potential clients and my goal is around 2,000

Ryan has prepared this course material very well for startup recruiters. He has used good examples and templates to show some real time scenarios. Some of the information was very helpful while some of the details we are following today. Thanks for the insights of the day-to-day challenges...

By Alyssa Siregar on 10/31/2017

As a layman, Lecour's explanation has helped me much in understanding Recruitment and BD therefore they automatically boost my confident too in starting my new job position as Recruitment Consultant! Thank you Ryan!

By Reece Lee-Clark on 10/29/2017

This course was very helpful for me to get an idea of the industry and how to handle myself whilst in it. He explains and describes everything in a confident and calm manor.

By Bhupendra on 9/18/2017

This course is filled with Great Tips and Tricks. A single tip from Ryan is worth more that what the course price is and this course contains lots of valuable nuggets, tips, tricks and advice that comes from years of professional experience . Thanks Ryan for creating such a great course.

By Peter David on 4/20/2016

This is a great course that is packed full of useful content. In fact, as I was listening and taking notes, the thought occurred to me that Ryan should write a book. He presents the material in a very organized, professional way. The bottom line is Ryan is worth listening to. He thinks outside the box, and I'm sure this will give anyone willing to put some of this to use a real advantage. This is the second course from Ryan I've signed up for and I've checked the Firm Founders website out, so I know he's the real deal. I can't wait for the next course!
