Named owners of recruitment and search firms who stopped competing as one of five on the brief, and became the only name clients call in their niche. Their firms, their words, their numbers.
What I do
My team and I come in and build one desk with you, step by step, until it is winning clients.
From a 30-year recruiter
Roy Ripper, 30+ years in recruitment.
If you own a recruitment or executive search firm, you are tired of being one of five names on every brief, chasing cold for fees that get ground down, and you want to be the only name in your niche, retained and paid upfront, in months not years, without cold calling, a bigger team, or working longer, then book a call.
Why owners choose Andy
I assessed 50+ PR, marketing, coaching and business development companies. Andy has a sixth sense for recruitment search. In my first year I reached my first seven figures, a 3.5x on the previous year. He has grown my search business to seven figures and, most importantly, given me far more time with my family, now able to work remotely.

Retained, paid upfront
The market's strongest firms stopped chasing contingent scraps. They get retained, paid in advance, on fees that hold, and they keep their life.
Four day week, kept
“My first year I doubled the bottom line. I am fully retained and my fees are a lot bigger than when I started.”
“I came across Andy 4 years ago and we hit it off right away. One of the stipulations to Andy was my lifestyle. This is down to Andy's authority strategies. Would I recommend? Yes, without a shadow of a doubt. It is a step by step process and the best thing I did for my business.”
Laura Anderson · Veterinary Career Services
Retained and exclusive only
£30,000 fees to £100,000 fees a month, inside six months. Now scaling past a quarter of a million.
Ken went from one of five names on every brief to the retained, exclusive-only choice in his niche, taking the work on his terms and turning it away when it does not fit.
Ken McCarthy · BlackRock Resources
Higher fees, seven-figure years
New York, seven figures
“We hit our one million dollar goal. We actually blasted it and already at 1.1. If you asked me three years ago if this was possible I didn't even believe it.”
Rocket Talent went from $80,000 to $1.1 million in revenue, including a single week that booked $133,000.
Jonathan Spiess · Rocket Talent
No.1 authority in his niche
“I 10x my revenue in two years. Now the number one authority in my niche by far.”
“I was cynical at first, so much noise in the recruitment space and I knew a bit to start. However Andy walks the walk. I strongly recommend Andy whether start up or established. Andy is at the front of the market by a long way.”
Darren Franks · Talent in the Cloud
Became the recognised authority
Not just billing more. These owners are the recognised name in their niche, the one the market and the press treat as the trusted adviser.

Live cold-outreach numbers on a member campaign, the kind most recruiters never see.
“From a campaign candidate. Whoohoo!”
First ever client campaign, targeted at senior contacts, with three live opportunities inside ten days.
Outreach that converts
Members report their live campaign numbers straight into the webinar as it runs. These are cold-outreach rates most recruiters never come close to.
Keith Southern logs a 67.78% open rate and a 50.6% reply rate live in the GoToWebinar questions box, while Brandt Handley posts a second win in the same session.
His first ever client campaign, targeted at senior contacts, with three live opportunities inside ten days.
His first webinar drew 134 attendees, and four clients who had never taken his call signed on.
One campaign put the firm in front of nearly every candidate in the niche.
Named owners, real firms
Not anonymous quotes. The people, the firms and the results, straight from the source. Every card is a real client case study or press feature.
Backed by the industry's best
The trainers, authors and search leaders the industry already follows put their name to his methods.
The most innovative strategies I have ever seen in recruitment.
After his first consultation I created 14 new clients by applying his online webinar strategy. You need to get Andy Whitehead in your business.
Andy's programme put inbound strategies in place giving me leads 24/7, client and candidate side. I highly recommend Andy's programme.
Inside the room
Not theory from a slide deck. Owners fly in, map their niche in the room together, and leave with the positioning and the systems that make them the only name clients call.
Every photo here is from one of Andy's live member events.
The name the industry knows
Andy's work has been featured across CBS News, FOX, NBC and ABC, and his methods are taught, quoted and modelled across the recruitment world.
Two published books lay the approach out in full, and his clients keep showing up in the press for the results they get.
Attract, gain authority, automate and scale like a million-dollar recruitment business owner.

From the grind to a retained desk
Five firms on every brief, fees ground down, on one side. On the other, the one firm that became the only name in its niche, retained and paid upfront. These are those firms.
Outposition the giants
He stepped into the place of a 2,500 person firm. Same person, same market, twelve months apart.
Ken stopped selling one to one and started marketing one to many. Using Andy's marketing and business development strategies, he put his message in front of his market every day, on repeat, with the whole engine running on autopilot. Every process documented, then handed to virtual assistants who now run 90% of the recruiter's grind.
The positioning followed. Ken was soon spoken about in the same room as Alexander Mann and Michael Page, stepping into the place of a 2,500 person firm inside a global payroll provider's line-up. Now he takes the work retained and exclusive only, on his terms, with a target of $100,000 a month in fees.
Build a new desk from nothing
“In the middle of Covid we did the impossible. We started a brand new desk from nothing and had it running at around £30,000 a month in margin inside a few months, held for the best part of a year. Andy gave us the market mapping and the outreach that built it. Five years on we are opening another desk and I have come straight back to him.”
