The Recruitment Rewind - Twenty Five Years in Recruitment

12.12.2025

Escape started twenty five years ago, and in the same year, Shuna Boyle began her career in recruitment.

As part of our 25 years in recruitment, Adrian Brady, one of the founders of Escape, and Shuna sat down for a short series of conversations reflecting on life in the industry. 

Across five videos, they look back at how recruitment has changed since 2000, from early days with A-frames and printed CVs to the realities of today’s market. They share stories from first placements, lessons learned and the long term relationships that develop when you support candidates throughout their careers.

They also reflect on what hasn’t changed at all. The habits that still work, the importance of listening and why recruitment remains, at its heart, a people focused job.

The final episode looks ahead to the future, exploring the skills new recruiters will need and the trends likely to shape the years to come.
