Finished early hours of this morning, I thoroughly enjoyed reading mainly because of the way it was written, it felt as though Stephen was on the same level as all of us, knew the struggles and supplied ways of overcoming them. Looking forward to putting some of the tips into place!

Take it from someone who is still in their infancy and has read many a book like this... This is THE BEST and most understandable one yet, I will be taking a lot from this and implementing it in the coming academic year!

John

Having supported hundreds of recruiters in launching their own agencies over the past seven years, I can confidently say this book is an essential read for anyone considering starting their own recruitment business.

Jenny

I finished this book last night and one thing I would say... I wish I had of read it before I took the decision to make the leap and start my own agency!!! It is really informative and gives the right information on a simple to understand level!!
