Matthew Munson, Managing Director NSW at Talent Group, came to recruitment the long way round. A campervan trip around Australia turned into a decision to stay, and a phone call about a job in tech recruitment changed everything.

He landed in 2006 with no idea what a .NET developer was. First six months, he hated it. The language was foreign, the role was a step back from where he'd been, and his ego took a hit. After six months, something clicked. Two years later he was team lead while billing at the top of his office.

What followed was twenty years of building desks, running multi-office teams across Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong, leading RPO accounts at the exec level for brands like Yahoo 7 and eBay, and eventually becoming MD of NSW at Talent — a business he's been growing for nearly a decade.

In this episode Matthew talks through what actually goes wrong on an underperforming desk, why he's fired high billers, and why moving into management too fast is one of the most common mistakes he sees. He also gets into what it takes to build a personal brand that actually works, why AI-generated content is already valueless, and what being proud to call yourself a recruiter has to do with how long you last in this industry.

One of the most honest career conversations we've had on the show.
