EP 13 - The 'Weirdest CEO In Recruitment' On How To Be Authentic And Grow YOUR Way with Alex Dick

Alex Dick is the CEO/Founder of Alexander Lyons Solutions, a 100% remote recruitment business that has been running since 2011. Alex was also a Million Pound Biller in his day and now has a thriving business primarily in the legal sector.


Alex opens up about his childhood, during which he had dyslexia so bad that he couldn't read and write yet showed signs of a very high IQ. We spoke at length about how neurodiverse people work so differently and that if it's managed well, they can help people see things in a unique way.


If you follow him on LinkedIn, it's no secret that Alex has been breaking the norms of the usual recruitment CEO, hence the title 'Probably the weirdest CEO'. But Alex talks us through how important it is to be authentic and you can run/grow/scale a business YOUR WAY!


DISCLAIMER: Halfway through the episode, the platform we were recording on crashed, so we continued on Zoom.
