He's basically living the dream, making big money and doing great things in the IT Sales and the Software world. If you're looking for inspiration on how a lifestyle business looks like, listen on!

The first guest of the HR Tech for Good series is none other than the legend himself, Bill Boorman. Bill is best known for True Events, which he runs around the UK and where he changed the game - conferences are not formal and about selling anymore, people bring true value there and have real conversations about HR, Technology, and Environment. He's also a part of the Northampton Borough Council, where he's doing amazing work regarding the ''rough sleepers'', as he calls them - the homeless population that needs help fighting the pandemic. Bill sits in a lot of different camps, he's a visionary that looks in the future and asks the important questions - which is why we couldn't have chosen a better way to kick off this podcast. Hope you enjoy it!

In today's episode of the Million Dollar Biller series, Dualta interviews Stuart Mitchell, Head of Security Recruitment at Stott and May, on how to plan and execute your recruiting strategy to bill more, faster. They discuss the state of things in the biggest US cities post-Covid, ways to recover and build on your business, and overall how to drive more BD and acquire candidates in a more-than-ever competitive market.
