Got one of these installed last week and it got me thinking… When you turn stuff “on” it costs more… the more energy that thing uses the more you pay! The things that consume more energy, generally have a purpose… kettle boils water, oven cooks food… short, high bursts of energy with a result. Stick with me… 😊 Things that don’t cost as much are often more passive, phone chargers for example. On in the back ground charging over a longer period of time… This is a little like Job adverts vs Headhuting… Headhunting requires a huge amount of energy over a short period of time (5-7 days) but the end result should be brilliant candidates! Job adverts can run and run for weeks… passively in the background but might not deliver results… One costs more than the other because of the energy that goes into the process! Find out more about the #headhunting process and what you get for your money… Email : james.w@rosslyndavid.co.uk #marketingrecruitment #marketingjobs #recruitment

💡 What are the benefits of working with a recruiter vs. applying on your own directly? There are many! But just to name a few big ones.... ✅ We have direct access and rapports with the decision makers. Presidents, VP's, Division Managers, HR Managers and Internal Talent Acquisition specialists. More often, we know their specific needs and the culture of the company/team. ✅ We do a thorough screening and a nice write-up including career highlights and strengths. A process that helps set you apart from the other applicants and catches their eye! ✅ We manage the process and can be the 'squeaky wheel' for you when needed. ✅ We handle the tough or uncomfortable questions that can be challenging to get answers to. ✅ There's no cost to the candidate. More importantly, you should know... ❌ Many times your online application or Indeed application becomes a needle in the haystack and can be overlooked. ❌ What's worse...once you're in their system we cannot help/represent you for a year (with that specific company), post your direct application. ✅ So be strategic in your search for a new opportunity. Find a recruiter/recruiting firm you trust...and let us help you. It's what we're here for and what we love to do!

I’ve heard it many times: 'I had a bad experience with a recruiter, so I’ve been avoiding them since.' I get it. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Here’s what went wrong for one of my clients: - They Didn’t Listen. The recruiter didn’t understand what they needed. - Poor Communication. There were too many surprises and not enough updates. - Wrong Candidates. They kept getting candidates who didn’t fit. If you’ve had a bad experience, know that not all recruiters are the same. Good recruiters listen, communicate clearly, and find the right match for your team. Remember, not using a professional recruiter is like trying to fix your own plumbing. #Recruitment #TechRecruitment #HiringHelp #TalentAcquisition #TrustInRecruitment #HRAdvice #JobSearch #HiringTips

I stopped making appointments. Below a real exchange with a candidate: ---- C: Let's call tomorrow at 2pm Me: Rather you call me whenver you can C: Yes, let's do it that way ---- It is better for everyone: I can't FORGET to call people and they have the freedom to call me anytime. Especially for business roles I expect a certain lack of fear of using the phone. It's like a triple filter of candidates on: - Flexibility - Motivation - Reliability All that without me doing much work. This is what recruitment is about: Effortlessly get signal from people. If you think I am lazy, think again: Is there any other way if you get daily hundreds of messages on dozens of channels? In my opinion: No.

Silence speaks volumes, and in recruiting, it screams disinterest. Here are some tips for staying in communication with job applicants: - Provide regular updates on the hiring process. - Answer questions promptly and professionally. - Notify them of the final decision, even if they weren't chosen. #Hiring #Recruitment #CandidateExperience https://lnkd.in/g7YiRsX6

I'm working with a company that has reduced its yearly recruitment spend by half (£190,000)..... Previously: -It took on average 12 weeks from mandate to hiring candidates. -Turnover of hires was 1 in 2 within 4 months. -Time taken out of the business to interview for EACH hire was 12 hours. But now... -Hires stay in their positions. -The offer is made within 2 days of the last interview. -Average time taken to interview is 5 hours. -The strategy is clear with defined testing of all candidates. Outcome: -Quicker placement, reducing pressure on team members to support the vacant position. -Huge reduction in candidates being offered elsewhere. -Clear hiring strategy that everyone understands and supports. -Better perception of the company. -Good experience for both the candidates and the clients interviewing. -Less time speaking to recruiters, resulting in more time to be productive in their positions. I'd love to share how we helped our client achieve this. WhatsApp me today: ++447961766949

An important skill for recruiters is to be able to speak the language of the candidate clearly and at an adequate volume over the phone. If the candidate has to strain to hear or understand, that really does not reflect well on the recruiter or their company. They're a lot more likely to decide that it's not worth the effort.

🚩 Recruiter red flags for candidates 🚩 🤒 Recruiter canceled my interview when I asked to reschedule due to sickness because rescheduling is 'not professional' 🤔 Recruiter rejected my application when I mentioned that I had applied to other companies because it 'implies disloyalty' ⚠️ Recruiter asked personal questions about my relationship, living status, age, etc. 🤦♀️ Recruiter is asking for 10 years experience in tech that has only existed for 5 years ⛔ Recruiter sent my CV to a company without my consent 👻 Recruiter didn't show for a scheduled call/meeting and has ghosted me since If any of these sound familiar, you're using the wrong recruiters 🚫 #recruitment #recruiters #recruitmentlife #recruiting #careeradvice #jobhunt #jobseekers #redflags

Hello...... It's me.... I was wondering if anyone would like to talk about following up? . . . . . Unpopular opinion, I think it's ok for candidates to follow up with a #recruiter. Open lines of #communication are needed to foster a relationship between a #candidate and recruiter, and sometimes recruiters get busy (after all, we're only human). But, when is it an "appropriate" time to check in with them? 1 day, 2 days, 3, maybe 4? My personal approach as a candidate was to wait 4-5 days before reaching out again, unless I was given a longer timeline. Any recruiters out there have input on this? #followup #jobapplication #recruitersoflinkedin #2024

What do you do when your client wants to hire the candidate  Pending on reference checking with the candidate's existing boss And you know that the candidate's boss will give a bad reference Just because he doesn’t want his employee to leave?    (yes, such people do exist, albeit a small minority) Do you like this post?
