In this episode of The Recruiter’s Recruitment Podcast, Lysha Holmes sits down with Lawson Leefe, Director of Hedera Hiring and Core Developer of CVME, to discuss his unique journey from recruitment leader to software developer and tech founder.

Unlike many technology providers serving the recruitment industry, Lawson is still actively running a recruitment business. That means every feature within CVME has been built to solve real-world recruitment challenges rather than theoretical ones.

During the conversation, Lawson shares:

• His recruitment career and experience building specialist utilities recruitment firm Hedera Hiring.
• Why he taught himself to code after becoming frustrated with the time recruiters spend searching, formatting, and presenting CVs.
• How CVME automates CV formatting and candidate sourcing to help recruiters reclaim hours every week.

This is a fascinating discussion for anyone interested in recruitment technology, operational efficiency, AI adoption, and building products from inside the industry rather than from the outside.
