Gary Goldsmith — Co-Founder
I’m passionate about people, loyal to a fault and fight for the underdog. Sometimes too outspoken, far from perfect and a work in progress. The business world and especially my 1st love Recruitment is always changing, but right now it’s a white knuckle ride. Adapt or Die? It’s key to be surrounded with a trusted peer group, future-focused strategists, and real-life experts who’ve both seen it and done it. My name is Gary Goldsmith. Most people call me GG. My mates call me daily. I was employer 18 at SThree Plc (Computer Futures). In my first six years, I started and grew their contract business and as a result, we took company revenue from £3m to £258m. On the day of the IPO, whilst delivering 60% of revenue, I created 27 millionaires. I'm an award winning business coach and mentor - Im both strategy and tactical Im straight-shooting as a NED. I give clarity, confidence and courage so my friends succeed. The No 1 rated recruitment advisor? Probably. In my head, obviously. My philosophies have been documented in a trilogy of books - The Mentalist Entrepreneur - those who lead where others follow and deliberately different thinking. I have a community for leaders of businesses wanting to consistently double and a 36 month program to 8X profits. Also Dean and I upped it to the RDLC. We’re the biggest and fastest-growing recruitment membership club. Our members are agile, on point, and gaining vast market share amidst insane change. Be Futureproof. Be recession-proof. Be resilient and join our crusade to help rec entrepreneurs embrace technology and disrupt the disruptors. As Pirates, we think differently. We’re open and honest with high degrees of trust. ‘Sharing is off the scale.’ ‘The strategies work.’ ‘Saved loads of money.’ A strong tribe, we share and hear great ideas that work, learn the shortcuts and get fast tracks to success. There’s no need to be an island when you’re surrounded by people you respect and admire. Massive engagement. As well as meetups, great ideas are applauded in our 34 value-adding WhatsApp Groups. Visiting a city? Pirates share their space and create community. Need fresh ideas? RDLC owns Ibiza in September. In business, it’s the proudest thing I’ve ever done. Pure fun. Nobody puts you in a corner. Have GG and the RDLC in yours. Call me.
