In this episode, I sit down with Jay Massey, founder of Four Five Partners, to unpack the honest, unfiltered version of building a recruitment business from scratch.

After turning down two investment offers, one requiring him to give up control, the other diluting his equity, Jay borrowed £100K against his own house to fund the business himself, backing his ability to build it on his terms.
