ALI Whitehead – Entrepreneur, mother, wife and music lover. A business woman with a passion for turning the recruitment world on its head and then spinning it around a few times.
I started Flourish Training so I could use my own recruitment experience as a springboard to help consultants at all levels learn and develop the right skills to become excellent recruiters. I believe that learning is a life-long experience and as such invest heavily to ensure that my own knowledge continuously supports my clients changing needs. I have the absolute pleasure of working and learning from skilled recruiters and recruitment business owners, NLP coaches, Marketing and Social Media experts, talented Sales Trainers and Recruitment Industry Experts.
How it started…
When I was 21, I believe I was a lot like you. I struggled through my first couple of years as a contingency recruiter and learned along the way how to become a proficient recruitment Consultant – I ran an Industrial Temp desk taking our division from Zero to 350 temps out, moved into Commercial recruiting and finally Retained Search and Select. It took me nine years to reach the point when I was billing just under £750k a year consistently and it was a challenging journey.
I honestly believe I did it the ‘hard’ way, so made it my mission in life (well, one of them!) to enable consultants to become successful without having to make as many mistakes as I did in getting there, and to reach their goals far quicker than I was able to.
I’ve been training and coaching recruiters, just like you, for over ten years now.
