Advisory and mentoring for recruitment business owners who want out of the volume game. Named after the fee I charge and never discount.
It is what I charge at Lechley Associates, a one-person executive search firm in one of the most fee-squeezed sectors in recruitment, and I do not discount it. Twenty four years in, still on my own, and this is the best year I have had.
The model matters more than the market, and the Club exists to teach it: sector credibility, positioning as the expert your clients call first, and the AI-run desk that makes one person enough.
This is the map, and the whole free series builds it one box at a time. Four places AI genuinely earns its keep on a recruitment desk, and a deliberate silence on everything else.
A morning brief that tells you what today actually needs, built from your own calendar and inbox.
Everything you know about a person, in seconds, before every call. No more going in cold.
Meetings that file themselves: a structured note in the CRM, both sides’ commitments captured, nothing typed up.
Outreach that still sounds like you, drafted from your own voice and the history behind the relationship.
The tools that promise to do the recruiting for you are not on the map, on purpose.
AI Basics for Recruitment Firms: one build a week, about thirty minutes each, showing the AI desk behind the fee. Every prompt given away free in the descriptions.
Start with the one-page map of where AI actually helps on a recruitment desk, and what to ignore.
Three months, one to one. Two calls a month plus direct access in between, on your positioning, your fee model, and the content engine that brings clients to you.
First group at £750 a month, capped at six. Direct access doesn’t scale, so it stays small.
The six-part basics series: the map, then four builds, then the real thing.
The map and every prompt from the series, free, with nothing held back.
The free route, the advisory in full, who it suits, and the questions people ask before they start.
Twenty four years, one person, 22.5% retained. The map and every prompt are free, and always will be.
