About this speaker

Terry Edwards is the co-founder of Make More Placements and the creator of the APEX system—one of the most proven methodologies for helping recruitment and search business owners win more retained clients, charge higher fees, and scale their businesses while working less.

With a background as a top-billing recruiter, Terry understands firsthand the struggles of chasing contingency roles, dealing with flaky clients, and constantly being stuck in the feast-or-famine cycle. But after transforming his own approach to business development, he discovered a way to consistently land retained and exclusive clients—without undercutting fees, wasting time on uncommitted prospects, or relying on outdated sales tactics.

Since then, Terry has dedicated his career to coaching and mentoring ambitious recruitment and search business owners who want to break free from the contingency trap. His expertise lies in teaching recruiters how to position themselves as trusted advisors, build automated client acquisition systems, and win high-value, committed clients without stress or struggle.

Over the years, Terry and his team have helped recruitment firms across the world generate millions in revenue while gaining more control, more freedom, and more financial security. His no-nonsense, straight-talking approach has made him a sought-after speaker, mentor, and consultant for recruiters who want results—not theory.

Terry’s belief is simple: The best recruitment businesses don’t compete on price. They attract high-quality clients who see their value, commit upfront, and are willing to pay premium fees. His mission is to show recruitment business owners exactly how to do the same.

If you want to escape the grind, take control of your business, and start winning more retained and exclusive clients, Terry Edwards is the person to listen to.
