#69- How Joel Lalgee Uses Content and Conversation to Win

Episode Summary
Live from the ERE Recruiting Innovation Summit in Las Vegas, Clark Wilcox sits down with Joel Lalgee, LinkedIn video content powerhouse and longtime agency recruiter for a high-energy conversation on what’s working in recruiting right now. They dive into the real impact of AI, automation, and content, not as threats, but as tools for recruiters who are curious, collaborative, and consistent.

Joel shares why now is the best time to be an agency recruiter if you're building relationships the right way. From problem-driven discovery calls to content that builds trust, Joel and Clark explore how business development today is less about pitching and more about persistence, personalization, and showing up online and in person. They also talk through why real-world conversations still drive the best deals, and how LinkedIn content can amplify those touchpoints at scale.

For recruiters trying to make content work, Joel gives tactical video tips that cut through the fluff, from writing strong hooks to practicing delivery like a top-performing cold caller.
