Welcome back to the pod!

This week, we have our very first returning guest. We're back on the farm!!! We took the studio on the road and headed back up north for another chin wag with Mr Jeremy Snell (if you missed his first appearance, go back and check out Episode 31!).

We kick things off with an update on farm life, bottle-feeding lambs at 2:00 AM, and his adventures at the secret "Pink Umbrella" society at Glastonbury. I also decided to roll out another highly questionable AI-generated quiz—this time, guessing famous movie quotes. I feel like I peaked with the first quiz and maybe should have left it but oh well these things happen.

But when we do finally get around to the recruitment chat, Jeremy brings gold.

We dive deep into his massive business transition, rebranding from Rookie to Recruiter to his shiny new platform, Your People Engine.

He breaks down why he completely overhauled his tech stack, why he refuses to lock agencies into 12-month software contracts, and why he’s highly skeptical of the new "vibe coding" trend.

He also shares some of his top-tier storytelling tactics for sales, including the legendary "Yellow Paint" strategy for uncovering hidden money in a client's supply chain.

Plus, we cover:

• A wild medical tangent about surgery for sweaty hands.

• An unbelievable interview story involving a candidate, a roof rack, and a bungee cord.

• Lee’s Lunchbox: If we had to permanently live as an animal, what would we be?

They always say it's hard to record a second album but I felt like this was a cracker filled with laughs, farm animals, and genuinely brilliant recruitment L&D advice. Enjoy!
