The Old Way is Broken. Here’s What We’re Building Instead.

Intro 

Let’s be honest, recruitment has been broken for a while. Good people trapped in bad systems. Talent treated like transactions. Consultants burning out for someone else’s bottom line. I lived it, I played the game, and I saw the cracks. Now, I’m building something different. Gloww isn’t a rebrand or a new logo. It’s a rebellion. A platform for the people who’ve always cared about doing it right,  but never had the tools or autonomy to make it work. Here’s why the old model is dying, and what we’re building in its place.

The Problem: What’s Broken in Traditional Recruitment 

The traditional recruitment model is a volume game. Pack in as many calls, as many KPIs, as many CVs as possible, and hope something sticks. Relationships become numbers. Clients get oversold. Candidates get ghosted. And consultants? They burn out. The biggest irony? Most recruitment businesses are terrible at attracting or retaining their own talent. The pressure is relentless, the support minimal, and the cut you get for doing all the graft is laughable.

‍

It’s why the best recruiters either jump ship to go solo, or worse, leave the industry entirely. Not because they weren’t good. But because the system wasn’t built for them to thrive. It’s outdated. Over-controlled. And it breeds the very behaviours that give recruitment a bad name.

The Truth: Going Solo Doesn’t Always Work Either 

So why doesn’t everyone just go solo? Some try, and some succeed. But most hit the same walls. No brand. No marketing support. No community. No infrastructure. No idea how to price, pitch, or scale. You end up doing all the admin you used to hate,  just with less income security and zero headspace.

‍

And that’s the problem. The gap between working for someone else and building something of your own is still huge. It’s lonely, risky, and most people don’t know where to start. That’s where Gloww comes in.

The Vision: What We’re Building at Gloww

Gloww exists to fix the gap. It’s not an agency. It’s not a franchise. It’s a platform for experienced recruiters to build their business, not ours. You get autonomy, but you’re never alone. You get infrastructure, but not bureaucracy. You get support, brand, community, and strategy, but you still own the relationships and the rewards.

‍

We’re giving founders access to tech, marketing, peer support, operational firepower, and commercial coaching. Everything you need to build your own recruitment business, without the bullshit that usually comes with it.

‍

But this isn’t for everyone. It’s not a lifestyle gig for lazy recruiters. It’s for people who give a shit. People who want to build something better, for their clients, their candidates, and themselves.

The Bottom Line: No More Excuses 

There’s never been a better time to back yourself. But too many good recruiters are still waiting for permission. Still stuck in old habits, old companies, or old fears. Gloww is the alternative we all wish existed five years ago. And now we’re building it, together.

‍

This isn’t just about better recruitment. It’s about better lives. More freedom. More control. More impact. You can sit and watch the industry change. Or you can be part of the team that’s changing it.

‍

If you’re tired of doing great work for someone else’s legacy,  we should talk. Gloww is where top recruiters go to build something of their own. No ego, no hierarchy, no fluff. Just good people doing great work, better.
