Owner & Leader Advisory — Hume Scope
Back to all services Owner & Leader Advisory

A trusted advisor for the person running the agency.Not a consultant.A partner.

Strategic, one-on-one advisory for recruitment agency owners and leaders. Honest input, practical direction, and someone in your corner who has seen what works across hundreds of agencies.

Who this is for

For owners and leaders who want a thinking partner, not just a trainer.

This is for the person at the top of the agency who needs honest, experienced input on the decisions that matter most.

🏗️

Owners building from scratch or going independent

You have the billing history and the client relationships. Now you need the business model, the structure, the systems, and a clear plan for getting the first year right.

📐

Leaders navigating a growth inflection point

The agency is growing but the way you are operating is not keeping up. You need to think clearly about team structure, leadership, service model, and where to focus next.

🧭

Established owners who want a strategic sounding board

You have been running the agency for years. Having someone outside the business to pressure-test ideas and challenge your thinking adds real value.

What we work on

The topics that matter most to agency owners.

Every engagement is different. But these are the areas that come up most often in our advisory work with owners and leaders across Australia.

01

Growth strategy and business planning

Where to focus for the next quarter, the next year, and beyond. We work through your market position, your revenue model, your team structure, and what needs to change to support the next stage of growth.

02

Service model and positioning

How your agency goes to market, what you charge, and how you differentiate. We look at whether your current model is as profitable as it could be and whether a shift toward retained search makes sense.

03

Commission structures and incentive design

Getting commission right is one of the hardest things in a recruitment business. We work through your current structure, what behaviours it is driving, and how to redesign it to reward the outcomes you actually want.

04

Leadership development and team structure

Transitioning from billing to leading, building a management layer for the first time, or figuring out how to hold a growing team accountable without micromanaging.

05

Sales strategy and business development

How the owner or leadership team approaches BD, how to build a pipeline beyond referrals, and how to position the agency with the types of clients you actually want to work with.

06

Operational efficiency and agency infrastructure

Systems, processes, reporting, CRM usage, team accountability structures, and how to build a business that does not depend entirely on the owner being present in everything.

How it's delivered

Three ways to engage, depending on what you need right now.

Some owners need intensive input over a short period. Others want a consistent advisory presence. We work in whatever format makes the most sense.

Format 01

Strategy day

A focused half or full day working through your biggest priorities. We leave you with a clear plan and the next 90 days mapped out. Works well when you need to make a big decision or reset direction quickly.

Single session

Format 02

Quarterly advisory program

A structured engagement across a quarter. Regular sessions, clear priorities, and accountability between meetings. We track what we committed to and make sure progress actually happens.

Most popular

Format 03

Ongoing retainer advisory

A long-term advisory relationship. Regular sessions, ad hoc availability for decisions that come up between meetings, and a consistent presence as the business evolves.

Long-term
What changes

What owners typically tell us after working together.

Every situation is different. But these are the shifts that come up most consistently from the owners and leaders we have worked with.

Clearer direction on where to take the business and what to prioritise first

A commission structure that rewards the right behaviours and retains the best people

More confidence in leadership conversations and holding the team accountable

A service model that is more profitable and easier to sell

Less time spent in the weeds and more time working on the business

Someone to call when a difficult situation comes up who actually understands recruitment

Ez has been amazing to work with. He has offered so much advice and guidance and has really changed the way I operate in my business. I originally signed on for 3 months, and have now been working with him for 9 months. That speaks volumes about how much value he adds.
