## Resource

In this episode, I sit down with Jack Hayes, founder of H&P, one of the fastest-growing legal executive search firms in the world. Jack launched the business after just two years in recruitment, with no management experience and no existing database, and has spent six and a half years figuring out how to build something truly world-class. We cover the hybrid exec model that sets H&P apart, the six-vertical mistake that nearly diluted everything, and the structural shift that saw them do £5M in revenue in their last six months alone.
