Relocation & Reinvention: Emi Beredugo’s Path to Recruitment Success | Be Yourself Podcast
In this episode of Be Yourself Podcast, I talk to Emi Beredugo, a UK-based talent acquisition specialist whose career journey spans continents and industries. Emi’s path—from a science background to becoming a recruiter—shows how core skills can transcend fields and open unexpected doors.
We dive into how Emi transitioned into recruitment, the steps she took to live and work abroad, and how she found ways to travel while making money. Emi shares insights on what makes a great recruiter, how to choose the right clients, and how headhunting really works behind the scenes.
We also explore why so many people feel the urge to settle down, how detachment and boundaries are crucial in leadership, and why networking is one of the most powerful tools in both life and business. Emi closes with actionable tips on finding fulfillment and loving what you do—even through major career switches.
If you're considering a career change, interested in recruitment, or just looking for fresh inspiration, this episode is for you.
