Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What separates an average recruiter from an exceptional one?

It isn't a perfect sales script, the latest technology or the number of calls you make.

It's what happens beyond the placement.

In Beyond the Placement, award-winning recruiter and business leader James Boyce shares the principles, habits and relationships that have shaped his career over more than fifteen years in aerospace recruitment.

Drawing on a career that has taken him across EMEA, the Americas and Asia, with more than 1,000 people placed and recruitment activity generating over £10 million in profit, James explores what really creates long-term success in an industry built around people.

This isn't a textbook filled with scripts and shortcuts. It's a practical and personal look at the lessons that actually matter: building trust before you need it, asking better questions, preparing properly, listening more than you speak, developing genuine industry knowledge, protecting your reputation and understanding that leadership begins long before somebody gives you a management title.

You will discover why curiosity can be more valuable than confidence, why relationships compound over an entire career and why the best recruiters focus on becoming exceptional rather than simply chasing the next fee.

Along the way, James shares the successes, mistakes and conversations that shaped his own career, including the ordinary Saturday morning that unexpectedly introduced him to recruitment and changed the direction of his life.

Whether you're considering recruitment for the first time, building your career, aiming for six-figure performance or already leading a team, Beyond the Placement challenges you to think differently about what a successful recruitment career can look like.

Because the placement matters.

But everything around it is what makes you exceptional.
