Episode #41 The Anti-Hustle Recruiting Model: How Megan Juliano Built Her Business on Clarity

In this episode of The Queen of Automation, I sat down with Megan Juliano, founder of Digi Staffing Solutions and the definition of building a personal brand that actually works. We talked about what it really takes to run a lean, high-performing recruiting business that doesn’t just rely on hustle, but runs on intention and systems that make sense.

Megan shared how she went from corporate tech recruiting to building her own firm, focused on go-to-market talent, and how she flipped the typical “recruiter spam” narrative on LinkedIn by showing up with bold, direct, no-fluff content that gets results. She's not interested in being just another recruiter in someone’s inbox, she’s built a brand that attracts the right people and makes them want to work with her.

We also got into the myth of work-life balance (spoiler: neither of us believe in it), how she structures her day to protect her energy, and why she treats her content like a non-negotiable business system, not an afterthought. From her client pipeline to her tech stack, Megan runs a solo business with the precision of a well-oiled machine, but she does it in a way that still feels fully aligned with how she wants to live.

And yes, I tried to convince her to launch a newsletter, because the way she thinks, writes, and builds relationships is too good not to scale.

This episode is all about building smarter, not just bigger, using systems that give you time back, and a brand that keeps working even when you’re not logged in.

Connect with Megan on LinkedIn and follow her journey, she’s the kind of recruiter rewriting the rulebook.
