Preston Park — Founder

I've spent over a decade in the recruiting trenches — building my agency from the ground up and scaling it. Along the way, I've had the privilege of working with some of the most recognized brands on the planet (ie. PE Firms, Top VC's, Fortune and fast growth startups), and those experiences shaped everything I know about what it actually takes to win in this industry. And I'm still in it. I still run and actively scale my own recruitment agency today — because I believe the best coaches are still players. Every client I work, every placement I make, and every system I refine keeps me sharp and keeps everything I teach grounded in what's actually working right now, not what worked five years ago. But the most rewarding part of this chapter is being able to give back. Through Recruiter School and the Kickstart Group ecosystem, I help ambitious recruiters launch and scale their own agencies — with the playbooks, AI-powered tools, and community infrastructure I had to build the hard way. Whether you're placing your first candidate or building a business you eventually want to sell, I've been where you are and I know the path forward. I'm also deeply passionate about where technology and media are heading — and what it means for the future of our industry. AI isn't a threat to great recruiters. It's the single biggest opportunity this space has ever seen, and the operators who embrace it early will build advantages that compound for years to come. If you want to stay ahead of what's coming — market intelligence, hiring trends, agency-building strategies, and the real future of work — I'd love for you to join the conversation. 📩 Subscribe to our newsletter for weekly insights built specifically for recruiters and agency operators & ▶️ Watch our videos for in-depth market analysis, real strategies, and a behind-the-scenes look at building a modern recruitment business.
