The Elite Recruiter Podcast

Benjamin Mena

Booking Overview

An interview-led recruiting-industry show focused on practical strategies, business growth, technology, and mindset, typically featuring high-performing recruiters, search-firm founders, and occasional specialists serving the profession. Agencies could credibly pitch recruiting entrepreneurs, staffing and executive-search leaders, elite billers, recruiting coaches, and experts in recruiter-focused technology or performance psychology; booking difficulty is medium because guests are accomplished practitioners but generally not mainstream celebrities.
