Mastering the Exit: A Founder’s Guide to Building, Scaling, and Selling Recruitment Companies with Marc Cohen

Achieving the Dream Exit

In this episode, we sit down with Marc Cohen, who successfully exited two recruitment companies, to uncover the secrets to building a business that thrives and eventually sells. Marc shares his journey from earning a mere $15,000 a year in an advertising job to making $15,000 within his first four weeks in recruitment. He realized early on that controlling his income and destiny was crucial, a mindset that paved the way for his future successes.

Key Insights from Marc's Journey:

• Belief and Hustle: Marc attributes his success to a strong belief system and relentless hustle. His experience teaches us that belief in the recruitment process and a hustler’s spirit can lead to extraordinary success.

• Building and Maintaining Partnerships: Marc emphasizes the importance of having the right business partner. His partnership with Graham Huber was built on trust and philosophical alignment, which he credits as a significant factor in their business's success.

• Innovative Strategies and Timing: Marc discusses how his strategic focus on future markets and innovative solutions played a pivotal role in achieving an 8.6 multiple on their first exit. Knowing when to pivot strategies was key to doubling their EBITDA, which set them up for an even more successful second exit.
