Benjamin Mena is one of the most influential voices in modern recruiting. He is the founder of Select Source Solutions, an agency with deep experience placing specialized talent (especially in government contracting/cleared space), and also the host of The Elite Recruiter Podcast, the go-to resource for recruiters who want honest, actionable advice. His podcast has grown substantially—for example, in 2024, he achieved over 170,000 downloads between Apple & Spotify—and the show is consistently cited as a top recruiting podcast in the industry. He brings to the table significant domain expertise (nearly 20 years), especially in high‐complex recruiting situations (GovCon, cleared work, etc.), plus credibility, transparency, and a knack for pulling out behind‐the-scenes lessons. He is respected for cutting through hype, focusing on mindset shifts, scaling strategies, niche development, and real tools & workflows.
Brianna Rooney is a serial entrepreneur and influencer of over 18 years in the recruiting world whose track record combines hands-on recruiting success, building & scaling businesses, and now coaching & content leadership. She founded her first tech recruiting agency early (in her 20s), grew and scaled it, and achieved a successful exit when her team behind Techees was acquired by Affirm in 2021. Since then, she’s built multiple agencies/ventures, trained hundreds of recruiters, and become a top recruiting voice on YouTube and LinkedIn under “The Millionaire Recruiter” brand. What distinguishes Brianna is her passion for sustainable recruiting practices, mentorship, transparency (in both successes and failures), and helping others build recruiting brands and agencies, not just filling requisitions.
