Season 3 | Ep 17 - Paul Hallam on stepping down from CEO role of his agency just before the pandemic hit, and what happened next! - a podcast by Sean Anderson

In today’s episode, I was joined on LinkedIn live by my Co-host Pete Watson and Paul Hallam, Partner and the Founder and Executive Director of Six Degrees Executive- a leading Australian executive recruitment business with 90 staff across offices in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.
Paul shared how after 16 years as CEO of his agency, in Feb 2019 he decided to step down from this role and handed over the helm to Suzie McInerney, previously state director in the business.
He had grand plans of changing his lifestyle, investing time ON the business and other ventures he was already invested in and passionate about.
However as the 12 month hand over period came to an end, the Pandemic hit!
In this episode, we talked about:
How Six Degree’s handled the first wave of the virus
The ways in which the business stayed ‘connected’ and maintained it’s thriving culture
How Paul personally felt during the extended lockdown
His vision for the future and advice to UK recruitment business owners in Lockdown #2



A fascinatingly successful leader whom I have had the pleasure of working with personally as part of the Hoxo Academy, it was a true pleasure for Pete and I to interview him.
If you would like to reach out to Paul and ask any questions directly, he is more than happy to give up some time!
