How To Close $800k in Revenue in 16 Months as a First-Time Founder
A Talk by Julia Arpag (CEO & Founder, Aligned Recruitment)
About this Talk
In August 2023, I was laid off 5 weeks after having my son (kid #4!).
Now, in January 2025, I've since:
- Launched Aligned Recruitment
- Closed $800k in new business in 16 months
- Scaled my team to include recruiters, sourcers, and operations managers
- Am shooting for 7-figure revenue by the end of 2025
In my talk, I'll lay out exactly how I did it.
And no, I'm not a coach, so I won't pitch you - I just want every recruiter who wants to run their own business to be wildly successful.
5 keys to killing it in 2025:
- Dialed-in mindset
- Top-tier coaching
- Hot, warm, AND cold lead BD strategy
- Nailing hiring your internal team
- Ruthless time management
See. You. There.
