# Natasha Speaks on The Lone Recruiter Podcast

**The OnTalent Team**

***Credit and Interview with: Brett Clemenson, The Lone Recruiter***

What does it really take to perform at a high level without burning out? In today’s ep, Brett sits down with Natasha Olsson-Seeto, Chief Executive of OnTalent, President of the RCSA, board member at Foodbank Queensland, and still a million-dollar biller.

Natasha has done it all. Executive head-hunting, leadership advisory, board roles, building teams, raising a family, and giving back to the industry in a meaningful way.

What struck me most in this conversation was not just what she’s achieved, but how intentionally she protects her energy, focus, and purpose. We talk about managing energy instead of time, the power of the reverse bucket list, why over-engineering is killing productivity in recruitment, and what recruiters must do to stay relevant as technology and AI accelerate faster than ever.

This is a deep, thoughtful conversation about leadership, longevity, and doing work that genuinely matters. Tune in for:
