The very first issue of newsletter was sent 5 years ago today. I had so little idea what I was doing that I managed to send it to the only person who had subscribed……myself! Since that rather inauspicious start, Recruiting Brainfood gone from being my favourite thing to do, to a reasonable side hustle, to a full time, multi-channel business supporting to the recruiting eco-system worldwide.

Your attention is a precious resource in today’s information saturated world, and I’m humbled that you have seen fit to spend a small part of it on Recruiting Brainfood. Your support is hugely motivating and makes writing this newsletter still my favourite thing to do

I’m still in London, where it has suddenly become grey, dark and wet. Times like this are an easy reminder as to pub culture is such a thing in the UK - everybody just keen to get inside and get warm. This period will be an interesting test on the efficacy of the vaccination rate - lets hope the population has reached herd immunity before we start spending all our times in the social indoors…..

Been expanding my horizons with new sounds lately so here’s youtube video of noises of a dark water forest. Good work music. DM me on twitter or Instagram or TikTok if you have anything else I should be listening to…

Have a great week everybody.
