It's a recruitment podcast for people who'd rather hear what actually happened than another list of top tips. Recruiters, coaches and founders tell us how it really went, and we tell you how building Giig is really going.
Guests from agency life, recruitment training and coaching talk about what worked, what didn't and what they'd do differently.
We've been bootstrapping Giig since 2020. The podcast follows the journey, including the bits we'd quite like to forget.
A few mics, a table and a proper conversation. We'll mention Giig now and then, but nobody gets a demo halfway through.

Giig It A Rest is the podcast from the team behind Giig, the AI recruitment CRM for independent recruiters and small agencies. Each episode is a relaxed, unscripted chat with a recruiter, coach or founder about the real side of recruitment and running a business. It started as a diary of bootstrapping Giig and has grown from there.
Luke Pitkin, Giig's founder, hosts most episodes, with Andy Sturgess and James Hardy from the Giig team joining in. Between them they've spent years working in and building software for recruitment agencies, so expect plenty of war stories.
You can watch every episode on YouTube, or listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. It's all free. If you'd rather not leave this page, hit play on any episode above and it'll play right here.
New episodes go out on Thursdays. Follow the show on Spotify or subscribe on YouTube and you'll get the new one as soon as it drops.
No. It's made with recruiters and small agency owners in mind, but lots of episodes cover coaching, training, sales and running a small business. If you like honest conversations about work, you'll probably enjoy it.
No. We're not going to pretend we don't make recruitment software, and Giig does come up now and then, but the episodes are about our guests and their stories. Nobody gets a demo halfway through, promise.
