At FIFTEEN WEST, we’ve seen firsthand how recruitment leaders navigate the journey from growth to exit. At our recent event, The Levers of Value, we explored the key drivers behind building a valuable, exit-ready recruitment business. One takeaway was clear: people are at the heart of success. Alex Arnot, a Board Advisor, shares his three P’s for scaling a recruitment firm, Planning, Processes, and People, and why they’re essential for long-term value creation. 🔹 Planning – A three-year vision backed by clear milestones and financial strategy. 🔹 Processes – A scalable, repeatable framework that ensures consistent performance. 🔹 People – The real differentiator. Hiring, retaining, and developing the right people is what turns strategy into reality. For those considering an exit, it’s the people in your business who will drive value, attract investment, and sustain growth beyond the transition. A well-structured team with the right culture and leadership is what makes a recruitment firm truly valuable. What’s been the biggest driver of growth in your business? #Recruitment #Scaling #ExitStrategy
