What Founders Must Change to Protect Profit and Build Value
Thursday 4th June 2026
11am Melb/Syd Time *AEST (UTC+10).
For many recruitment agency owners, the move beyond 20 staff is where growth starts to get messy. Profit comes under pressure, decision making gets heavier, and the founder can no longer run the business the same way they did at 5 or 10 people.
In this webinar, Ez Khan is joined by Rod Hore of HHMC Global, whose work with recruitment business owners spans growth strategy, profitability, business value and M&A. Together, they will explore why this stage is such a common trap, what tends to go wrong, and what founders need to do differently if they want to scale without losing control, margin or long term value.
Date/Time: Thursday 4th June 2026 at 11am Melb/Syd Time *AEST (UTC+10). Duration 45 mins with 15 min Q&A
This session is for founders and agency owners who are building a recruitment business through the 15 to 30 employee stage and are starting to feel the pressure that comes with growth. Profit gets tighter. Complexity increases. More decisions pile up on the founder. And the leadership shift needed to grow beyond that point is often underestimated.
This session is designed for recruitment agency founders and owner-operators, particularly those with around 10 to 40 staff. It is especially relevant for owners who are growing quickly and feeling the strain. You've likely built a solid business but feel everything still lands with you and you're trying to move from founder-led to leadership-led growth.
you'll leave with clearer understanding of why this stage of growth becomes so difficult. You'll get a better sense of whether you are actually ready to grow beyond your current size, and if so, you'll get a practical view of what needs to change in you as the founder, not just the business.
