What It Takes to Climb the Atlas Hoxo Elite 100

This list is built to spotlight recruiters who consistently show up and spark meaningful engagement. Your rank is determined by a mix of signals that reflect both reach and impact:

  • Number of LinkedIn followers
  • Frequency of posts
  • Average likes and comments per post
  • How actively you respond to your audience

We also factor in your previous score to keep things steady. That means growth is recognised over time, not through short bursts of activity. The more value you share and the more consistent you are, the higher you’ll climb.

It’s about more than numbers. This list highlights recruitment leaders who are leading conversations, sharing real insights, and raising the bar for content in the industry.

High-Impact Content from Recruitment Leaders This Season

Straightforward Advice That Speaks Every Recruiter’s Language

Atlas - Hoxo Elite 100 Recruitment Leaders - Aug-Sept 2025 - Julia Arpag

Julia’s list of “10 things you’ll never regret doing” reads like a seasoned recruiter’s internal checklist. Each point highlights a practical behaviour that strengthens hiring outcomes, from spending more to secure the right talent to calling real references instead of shortcuts. 

The tone feels approachable and rooted in everyday experience, which makes the advice easy to trust. For recruiters, Julia’s post reinforces the importance of doing the basics well and leading with integrity in the hiring process. It works because it avoids theory and focuses on actionable steps that every recruiter can see themselves applying immediately.

A Real Talk Reminder for Recruiters Thinking of Going Internal

Martyna’s post feels like advice from someone who has lived through the highs and lows of agency life. She speaks directly to a growing trend among recruiters who are considering internal roles for better balance and stability, then challenges that idea through her own experience. 

By sharing that she has seen this cycle repeat several times, she adds credibility and authenticity to her message. The conversational tone and straightforward language encourage reflection, especially when she points out the difference between generating revenue and being a business cost. 

For agency recruiters, it is a grounded reminder to think strategically about career moves and to understand the long-term trade-offs. Martyna’s post works because it combines honesty, experience, and care for her audience without sounding judgmental.

A Fourth-Quarter Wake-Up Call for Recruiters

Atlas - Hoxo Elite 100 Recruitment Leaders - Aug-Sept 2025 - Brent Orsuga

Brent’s post captures the urgency and focus that define the final stretch of the year. He uses a sports analogy that every recruiter can relate to, transforming Q4 into a game-time scenario where performance, preparation, and accountability matter most. 

Each point in his list challenges recruiters to look at their teams, deals, and client conversations with renewed intent. The language is direct and motivational, but still rooted in practical leadership. 

It serves as both an inspiration and a checklist for finishing strong. Brent’s post works because it turns end-of-year pressure into a rallying message that energises rather than intimidates, showing Brent’s strength as both a performer and a leader.

A Sharp and Honest Look at Candidate Mindsets

Richard’s post grabs attention through humour and sharp truth-telling. His playful list of common job-seeker misconceptions feels like a vent from every recruiter’s daily life, which makes readers instantly relate. The rhythm of short, punchy lines keeps the post engaging and easy to follow, while the mix of wit and realism prevents it from sounding negative. 

Beneath the humour is a strong message: finding a job is a skill, and recruiters are the experts in that process. Richard’s post reinforces that idea by sharing a personal anecdote that adds credibility and personality. It works because it balances entertainment with authority, leaving both candidates and recruiters nodding in recognition.

Why Being Easy to Work With Is a Recruiter’s Hidden Edge

Stuart brings the focus back to something simple yet often overlooked: likability. In a field that prizes performance metrics and targets, his post cuts through by reminding recruiters that relationships still drive success. 

The way he links a timeless concept to modern workplace realities makes the message relatable across all levels of experience. His writing feels calm, reflective, and grounded, inviting readers to pause and self-assess rather than rush to comment. 

For agency recruiters, it serves as a quiet challenge to think about how they collaborate with clients, candidates, and colleagues. Stuart’s post works because it blends human insight with professional relevance, showing that influence often starts with being someone others want to work with.
