Loved the presentation yesterday from Martin Herbst at JobAdder on 'State of the market'. A few things jumped out in context of the Australian market for Recruitment Agencies. 1. Average rate of new jobs created per recruiter is on the rise again with a bigger uptick expected in Q3 2024. Super important metric, all things considered. 📈 2. Perm vs. Contract placements maintain the near 80:20 split with the % for perm gently ticking upwards. This balance is so important, and I see this as another positive indicator for Agencies. ⚖ 3. Time to fill a role - stats show that recruiters who use their EXISTING candidate database to fill a role can do so 4x (that's right > 400% faster!!!) than when using Ads and hunting externally. 😎 This stat really peaked my interest, and validated what we're building at Scout | Helping Staffing Companies increase revenue using AI. Scout AI has a one-click integration with JobAdder and sits on their marketplace. Scout keeps your existing candidate database up to date, automatically finds matching candidates for every live job, and engages them over email and InMail on behalf of the recruiter. Reach out for a demo. PS: LinkedIn only allows for one image per post so I've crammed three graphs in to one image. #australia #hrtech #ats #headhunting #recruitment #staffing

Mid-way through the quarter. This is, in many ways, the most important quarter for 2024 for most Recruitment Agencies that we work with. Here’s what I’ve learnt so far: #Singapore - Q1 was a waste, Q2 didn’t really look up till the second half. Q3 seems to have more positive news in general. Yes big tech companies have had a number of layoffs but not all sectors are hurting, and some are actually growing. - Agencies working with regional companies are seeing an increase in open roles in Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand. Unit economics are slightly different but still workable given the volume. Given the cost of living here, much of this has been in the works for some time. - Given the variety and volume of CVs available in the market, selective CV selling has gained even more prominence and is yielding results. It is arguably harder to get the hiring manager’s attention given all the noise, but once you do, you can score fast. #Australia - First quarter of the new financial year. Lots of energy and anticipation given the two lack lustre quarters preceding this one. Transformation projects are starting to pick up momentum again which should translate to new jobs. - Number of live open jobs per recruiter is actually trending upwards which is a good sign. - Financial forecasts for most Agencies we’ve spoken with are based on practical attrition rates in the industries served, and marginal growth in new jobs. Sensible. A great indicator for us at Scout | Helping Staffing Companies increase revenue using AI is that we’ve doubled our demos per week! Anyone else have any insights to share? #headhunting #hrtech #automation #recruitment

🚀 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱-𝗛𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗕𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹-𝗛𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀: 𝗘𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗿 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗟𝗲𝗳𝘁 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱! 🤖 Fellow headhunters, let’s talk about something we all dread: the mundane, repetitive tasks that eat away at our time. You know the ones – data entry, endless follow-ups, and the never-ending CV parsing. 📝 By the time you're done, you’ve got enough screen fatigue to qualify for an Olympic medal in staring contests. 🥇 But what if there's a way out of this hamster wheel? Imagine a world where you spend more time doing what you love – connecting with top talent and building relationships with clients – and less time on the tasks that make you question your life choices. Enter recruitment automation, your new best friend. 💼 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗜 𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗸𝗶𝗰𝗸?  Imagine all the time spent doing repetitive tasks handled by a system that doesn’t need coffee breaks. ☕️ Think of it as the Jarvis to your Iron Man – minus the billion-dollar suit, but still making you look pretty darn heroic. 🦸♂️ Those who embrace automation aren’t just working smarter; they’re leapfrogging over their competition. BTW, automation isn’t about replacing the human touch; it’s about enhancing it. The time saved can be invested in building deeper connections with candidates, understanding client needs on a whole new level, and – dare I say – enjoying your job more. 🎉 So, if you want to stay ahead of the curve (and keep your sanity intact), it’s time to stop doing everything the hard way. Let Scout | Helping Staffing Companies increase revenue using AI do the boring stuff while you focus on what makes headhunting truly rewarding.

Recruiters know that headhunting isn’t as much of an art form as it was before. Let me explain: 2000s Phonebooks were still quite popular. Physical and digital. People were connected but not as networked. There was a limited candidate pool that each Recruiter had access to and headhunting was a form of art, ‘creating’ connections where none existed. 2010s Job boards and LinkedIn picked up massively in popularity. Whole mix of tools got injected into the art of recruitment. Tools that brought data to the table and introduced how things could be done better. Many failed but overall, some trends started to surface. Sourcing was still largely manual with sprinkles of automation and digital phonebooks, but curation started becoming way more scientific. Agency marketing decks got a makeover and started introducing stats. 2020s Tools are now an accepted norm in this beast of an industry. Curation is almost not left to the humans anymore. Most Recruiters now realise that data is not to be feared but embraced. For example, you’d struggle to find a Recruiter today who hasn’t heard of / used ChatGPT. A macro trend has emerged - data is now used as a differentiator of service quality. Massive win for the industry. 💪 And that is exactly where Scout | Helping Staffing Companies increase revenue using AI comes in. Using ONE software, Agencies can: - unify and make sense of their entire candidate data set. - identify the best candidates in their database instantly - automatically enrich and update candidate info back to their database - automate candidate outreach and track responses The best part? Scout has a two-way integration with most popular ATSs making it super simple to onboard. Reach out for a personalised demo. #headhunter #recruitment #staffing #hrtech #ai #automation
