Season 3 | Ep 18 - Chris Eldridge on the reality of leading a 250 staff recruitment agency through the pandemic so far! - a podcast by Sean Anderson

In today’s episode, I was joined on LinkedIn live by Chris Eldridge, CEO of Interquest - a leading, fully integrated technology staffing group headquartered in London.
Chris shared how although having great experience as a result of starting in the industry in 1995, he, like everyone else, had no ‘rule book’ for managing the business through the coronavirus.


Interquest had a strong Q1 and were super excited about 2020. Chris admitted that at the this point, he frankly didn’t believe that COVID-19 would have a great impact on us.


In this episode, we talked about


How Interquest handled the first wave of the virus
How Chris himself found support to make crucial decisions
The reality of how the business have survived and thrived by placing 868 candidates remotely using video
Internal processes to support the mental wellbeing of all staff
Why Chris joined the Hoxo Academy and believes personal branding is important
His vision for how recruiters will evolve in the new digital world



I love how clear Chris can convey a message, I feel this is one of the reasons why he has been so successful to date.


If you would like to reach out to Chris and ask any questions directly, he is more than happy to give up some time!
