"I make sure I'm everywhere, and I don't give up. If I believe there's a need for me and I can add value, I'm not giving up." But it’s not just about persistence—it’s about understanding what your audience needs and aligning with their values. Most of us can relate to being bombarded with irrelevant sales pitches, but when you truly connect with someone’s needs, it makes all the difference.

There’s nothing quite like having a favourite coworker. From sharing inside jokes and venting about work stress, to making the day fly by with their support... But when they decide to leave the toxic workplace, you’re left to face the chaos without them. It’s like losing your safety net. The person who made even the worst days bearable is suddenly gone, and you’re left wondering how you’re going to do it alone. As tough as it is, remember: your work bestie made a brave choice to prioritise their happiness and well-being. And It’s a reminder that you deserve the same! If they can find better, healthier opportunities, maybe it’s time to start thinking about what you need too. #ToxicWorkplace #NewBeginnings #WorkBestie

“Can I work from home?” If you get your work done, we don’t care whether you’re working at home or on a beach in the Maldives. You’re an adult and we trust you to get the work done. So why are businesses still so set on making people come into an office 5 days a week? That screams we don’t trust our employees personally. The thing is if you offer remote working you get access to a whole other market of talented candidates. Now I’m not saying go and sell up your 3-storey office, but have think about offering remote working as a standard. And FYI you can’t say hybrid and only offer 1 day working from home. If you’re going to offer hybrid surely it’s up to the candidate what works for them? #recruitment #remoteworking #remote

Salary conversations can be awkward. It's uncomfortable for a lot of people. So don't worry, you're not the only one. But the main thing is to be confident. Avoid saying things like: ❌ Um, I’m not really comfortable… ❌ I'm sorry to ask but… ❌ Would it be okay if we… And say things like this instead: ✔ The salary I was looking for is X and would love to see how we can make this work… ✔ I am interviewing for other roles in the range… ✔ Thanks for the offer but… Remember, confidence is key. And you deserve to be paid your worth. #salary #salarynegotiation #recruitment

Company benefits that make no sense to us… 1. Cycle to work scheme Yay. If you like getting to work sweaty, out of breath and continue to sit in your sweat all day. 2. Free tea and coffee Sh*tty filter coffee is my fave. Where’s the Starbucks??? 3. Flexible working Amazing. Do you mean actually flexible or I can start 30 minutes earlier, and leave 30 mins earlier? 4. Monthly team social events Are these mandatory? I don’t drink alcohol? I hate going to the pub? Out of my personal time? #perks #work #corporate

- Being respectful - Being empathetic - Being compassionate Makes a good manager ☝️ Embracing a positive approach allows individuals to discover the best methods that work for them. But one thing to note is a one-size-fits-all approach rarely succeeds... It also boils down to being a supportive leader. And just not being a d*ck. So, our advice when it comes to making decisions as a manager? Put yourself in your employees' shoes. And If you wouldn't appreciate it being done to you, it's probably not the right approach. Sadly, we receive numerous messages daily recounting workplace incidents that could have been avoided. #manager #managingstyle #workculture

Two things you can do right now to be a better recruiter. Pick up the phone. I saw a statistic on LinkedIn the other day, and he said that 17,600 people have sent him cold outreach emails and only 6 people bothered to call. And guess which ones he bought from… Those six. So stand out from the crowd and just actually put yourself out there and get to know people and show your personality. Number two, build a presence. Build your personal brand. It is only going to become more and more important to differentiate yourself in a crowded marketplace. So many people just sit there, existing in the background, and what's the point? Less than 1% of people on LinkedIn post and post regularly (I think) And most of them are posting boring crap or boasting about how they wake up at four in the morning and run 84 miles before they've had breakfast. So If you actually put effort into it and put together some great content - you could be a part of that 0.00025% that people enjoy. Be real. Be yourself. And if you do that, over time, you will build one hell of a following. And that following will be hugely loyal, because they'll feel like they know you and they'll want to work with you because they'll feel like you're a human. So start today!!

Stop writing "remote working" under benefits in your job advert 🤮 It's not a benefit. It never was. And it still isn't. And never will be. We would be worried if it wasn't something they didn't offer… It's completely normal to offer a remote working position. So stop acting like you are doing people a favour when you put it under benefits just to fluff up your advert to make your company look appealing. Please note keyboard warriors, we mean the jobs that can be done remotely! 🙄 #RemoteWorkingNowStandard #EmployeeChoiceMatters #WorkLifeBalance
