Stuart Mitchell on using personal brand to build a seven-figure agency in nine months

Episode notes

This week on The RAG Podcast, I’m joined by Stuart Mitchell, the founder of Hampton North, a specialist cybersecurity search firm based in the US. Stuart launched his business, and in just nine months, he had already surpassed the seven-figure mark. There were no cold calls, no marketing spend, just LinkedIn and a consistent commitment to personal branding. We talk about: How he’s built a brand that attracts top talent and clients What it was like launching through RecruitHub His remote first mindset and how that’s shaped the team The “Magic Inbox” that helped him scale at record speed And why authenticity is his biggest competitive edge Every one of Stuart’s hires so far has approached him directly after following his content. He’s building an Avengers-level team of high performers who believe in his approach and are now reaping the rewards of it. If you’re running a recruitment business or thinking about starting one, this is the episode to watch.
