Before “personal brand” became a buzzword, Hung Lee was already doing it—building Recruiting Brainfood into one of the most trusted communities in the industry.
In this conversation, recorded at RecFest USA 2025, Hung and Rhona dig into what it really takes for recruiters to think like media brands: showing up every week, curating with integrity, and letting transparency replace polish.
He shares how an accidental send from the beach in Lisbon made him realize just how much readers depended on his newsletter. Plus, why he believes quantity beats quality, what he looks for in every Brainfood link, and how his “Open Kitchen” approach builds trust without a team.
If you create content around recruiting or employer branding, this episode is a masterclass in consistency and community.
In This Episode:
- The Lisbon mishap that proved consistency matters (when his phone blew up overnight)
- Hung’s 4-point test for what makes content “Brainfood”
- How to curate without gatekeeping
- Why recruiters should think like media companies
- The “Open Kitchen” philosophy of transparency
- Why quantity beats quality for creators
- Running a one-person media brand without a team
