Episode notes
Starting a recruitment business at 25 with just three years of experience takes serious courage. Haseena Mooncey did exactly that - and she’s built something special. On this week's episode of The RAG Podcast, I'm joined by Haseena Mooncey, co-founder of CHR Life Sciences, a modern boutique recruitment firm focused on niche roles across the UK, Ireland, and Europe. Haseena launched the business with a former boss as her co-founder, stepping into entrepreneurship with limited experience but a clear mindset and strong values. Her story is rare, especially as a young woman in recruitment. And it’s incredibly inspiring. In this episode, we discuss: What pushed her to take the leap from employee to business owner The early challenges of launching with limited experience The mindset needed to grow a global contract recruitment business Balancing a modern outlook with traditional values in how she builds her team If you’re in your 20s and thinking about starting your own business - or you're just looking for a story that proves age and experience don't define success, this episode is one to tune into.
