So, why Agency Recruitment Academy?

Unless you were rigorously trained by top-billing experts at a world-class, rapidly scaling recruitment agency, the truth is this:

You were likely never taught how to sell and recruit at an elite level.

That’s why I created the Agency Recruitment Academy.

Here’s the thing:

The strategies I teach aren’t revolutionary...

Every top performer in this business, across industries, seniority levels, and countries, do some version of this.

As a globally ranked top producer at my past firm and now as the owner of my own agency breaking 7 figs in year 2, I’m pulling back the curtain to teach you my exact playbook to consistent success.

Learn how to dominate your niche market and win.

Welcome to THE Academy designed to elevate your sales and recruitment game.

The only question is: are you ready to step up?

Kate H. New York, USA

Simply put, Dandan is AMAZING. I have been following her content on LinkedIn closely over the past several weeks and I am consistently blown away by what she covers. She is ALWAYS spot on and shares helpful tips for agency recruiters like me to utilize on a day-to-day basis. She is outspoken and not afraid to share her thoughts, which is something I truly admire and strive to be like. I look forward to implementing her shared knowledge to grow my career!

Tanya M. Texas, USA

If you are an agency headhunter searching for a crème de la crème practical, boots on the ground, best of the best, and superlative coaching or training, follow Dandan! She has set the golden standard, offering podcasts, webinars and personal coaching. Even if you are seasoned and been around the block she has a fresh perspective and direct communication advice to propel you to next level.

Ben P. Reading, UK

I've followed Dandan for a few years and she is one of the few people who I have regularly turned to for advice within recruitment. Recently she held a free training session for recruiters that I took advantage of and it was absolutely fantastic. It was better than similar courses that I have paid for in the past, Dandan used a unique mix of theory and real examples of tone and showing us live example of how she pitched. Everything was backed up with logic and real world experience, she also did an email critique which included and explanation of a template for a sales email was awesome. I finished the session feeling like I couldn't wait until Monday to try all my new tools out.

In an industry full of self professed 'experts' Dandan is one of those few who is the real deal and also added even more value by bringing a group of very talented professionals into the group for us to share information with. When speaking with fellow recruiters Dandan is the first person I recommend for them to follow is they are serious about upping their game as a recruiter.

Tegan M. New York City, USA

Dandan is an amazing recruiter to learn from. She has lots of great tips and insights for success. I highly recommend her mentorship if you want to become better at this business. She is a fantastic teacher and can help you learn and grow in your career!

Andrew C. Australia

When I first stepped into recruitment in 2019 - I'd say I stumbled into a profession I did not expect that I'd excel and very much less make a career out of!

Her stories that I read 4 years ago has resonated deeply within me and it gave me that passion to give it a go - which to my luck turned out pretty well! Having wanted to understand how the global recruitment market works and how to be a top tier recruiter, Dandan's posts have always been one that I've looked out for, which has helped me change and model the way I look at being an agency recruiter.

Her content helps aspiring recruiters find their footing if they're meant for the industry, and the same content also helps more experienced recruiters understand where they need to be and what they need to possess to take themselves to the next level.

I had the luxury of speaking to her for a short chat about recruiter compensation and what the market is like 4 years ago, and ever since then, my perception towards everything changed - from the way I work, to the fees I charge.. everything!

I truly recommend all agency recruiters at all stages in their career to engage with her and her content to figure how their next step should look like.

Dandan deserves this recommendation as I believe her content alone is impacting many people in positive ways that she might not be aware of.

Thank you for contributions to all the recs out here!!

Ivan S. Paris, France

Dandan is the gift of this world to us in the rec business!

A LOT OF value, energy, and passion are here. I'd definitely recommend anybody in our industry to follow her and listen to her amazing podcast and monthly webinars. Thank you!

Taylor J. New York City, USA

Dandan is someone I’d highly suggest following if you’re in agency recruitment. Her posts alone are so valuable, and her free workshops are incredibly helpful! After only one week of implementing her techniques, I saw a positive impact on my business. Thank you for all you do, Dandan!

Isaiah R. Houston, Texas

Dandan is a great follow! She put on a free live coaching a week before Christmas so I incorporated some of her tips and BOOM picked up a new client this week. Thanks for all you do Dandan!!!

Howi D. Aberdeen, UK

Amongst a sea of recruitment trainers and coaches Dandan is up there with the greats. Loads of golden content is out there on multiple channels gained from years of experience at the coal face making introductions.

I have found the training useful to recalibrate and reset and get back to doing what we do best, solving talent gaps for clients and delivering quality employment outcomes for our candidates.

Thank you Dandan, keep up the great work!

Haley M. Boston, USA

Dandan is an incredible recruiter who really knows what she's doing. She is insanely knowledgeable about staffing (specifically she's a recruiter who recruits agency recruiters to work at other agencies) and can give you a big-picture overview of what the profession should & shouldn't look like. Dandan is well connected and will go to bat for you with her clients! I highly recommend taking the time to chat with Dandan if there is any curiosity or intrigue about leaving your current situation for something new!

Mike W. North Carolina, USA

Dandan is the real deal. One of the best in this business. Maybe you already knew that. Maybe you follow her postings or have had a call with her.

But maybe you don't know this: She is a genuinely kind, generous, and compassionate person. She is gracious with her time and with her substantial expertise. She cares about people.

A recruiter who is simultaneously highly effective, empathic, and a benevolent person is very tough to find.

There aren't many Dandan Zhu's out there. If you are considering working with her, just do it. She will not only deliver results. Along the way, she will represent your staffing firm (or your career) in the best way possible.

Halle C. California, USA

Dandan is truly one-of-a-kind and an asset to the world of Agency Recruitment. She leads by example and with a passion that is unmatched. I’ve gained invaluable knowledge through the years from her posts, virtual round tables, and our own conversations. She’s a wealth of information, encouragement, and support. If you’re looking for a change, or even just a conversation with someone who knows what you’re going through in Agency and want an unbiased, open-minded opinion, connect with Dandan! You will be glad you did. :)
