Meet the Man Behind the RecOps Community | Jeremy Lyons
Most people think building a community is about finding a niche and hoping people show up. Jeremy Lyons knows better—he’s the man behind the RecOps community. From launching the first RecOps conference to building the widely read RecOps Roundup newsletter, Jeremy has turned a behind-the-scenes role into a movement.
In this episode, we dig into:
The four (sometimes five) pillars of Recruiting Operations—and why employer branding belongs in the mix.
How Jeremy built the RecOps community during a wave of layoffs, and why neutrality became his non-negotiable.
The moment his newsletter stopped being about him and started being for the community—and how that shift changed everything.
Why he replaced “hot takes” with “spicy takes” (and what Scoville levels have to do with recruiting).
His advice for anyone who wants to start creating content but feels overwhelmed: start small, start simple, start now.
Whether you’re a recruiting pro, a corporate content creator, or someone thinking about how to build trust through content, this conversation offers both clarity and inspiration.
