About Us

Mike Walmsley and Alex Arnot founded RecruitmentTraining.com's parent company, Recruitment Training Productions Ltd in 2001, but before that they ran a highly successful international recruitment group, working their desks to the highest level, winning huge amounts of new business and billing millions of pounds in the process.

It is this real world experience that has developed into the RecruitmentTraining.com approach to recruitment - put in place the right structure, create opportunities, and close the business.

To achieve this, Mike formulated a number of easy-to-implement big biller techniques and processes, helping to grow his business from 4 to close to 100 people. He discovered that the secrets of getting to the very top in recruitment are actually much simpler than you might imagine – so simple in fact that any intelligent and hardworking recruiter, manager or director can copy and adapt this formulae into their own style with equally devastating results.

And now you can too. Thanks to a investment of several million pounds and the combined talents of Mike, Alex, & Titan Hancocks, a BAFTA award winning ex-BBC producer (whose credits include Tomorrow’s World, The British Open and Interactive Digital Wimbledon) and an exceptional board of directors, they have produced the world’s largest range of broadband video development training to enable recruitment professionals around the world to share the secrets of outstanding success in recruitment.

One of those secrets, and a major reason why we produce video training, is that training and development should be an on-going process rather than a one-off investment. Surveys that we’ve undertaken across over 500 recruitment directors show that between 70% and 95% of valuable training advice is not absorbed and implemented into a business. And yet how often would you send the same person back on the same training course?

Our products are not only being used to bring new ideas and plug the gaps from those training courses but they also refresh performance and enhance internal training to such an extent that it is more than possible to eliminate the biggest reason for leaving amongst recruitment consultants  - “lack of on-going development.”   

By visiting our  testimonials you’ll see that this approach works across all sectors and that as the products can be used over and over again, only the most closed-minded individuals will not succeed. And, as you might imagine, we provide comprehensive train-the-trainer advice to help you create a thoroughly comprehensive inter-active development experience to complement your own internal training.
