S1 E6: How Do You Build a Great Community? - Andy Dunne (Live at RecExpo)

How do you build a great community?

We’re wrapping up our RecExpo mini-series with a big one: how do you build a truly great recruitment community?

To answer that, we sat down with Andy Dunne, Managing Director of TEAM, one of the longest-standing networks for independent recruitment businesses in the UK. With over three decades of experience behind TEAM, Andy knows a thing or two about creating connection, driving collaboration, and building support systems that actually work.

In just five minutes, here’s what he covered:

• Why the best recruitment communities start with mindset, not metrics
• How sharing opportunity can be your biggest growth lever
• What it means to really show up for others, and why most don’t
• The surprising ROI of not going it alone
• How a strong network can carry you through your darkest days

Plus: stories of recruiters helping each other through personal crises, why old-school competition is outdated, and what happens when you build a culture around giving before getting.

Did Andy earn his place on the Wall of Fame, or is it straight in the bin? Watch to find out.
