A good staffing agency might help you find your next job, and they will add value to your job search and career longer term. Unfortunately, you’ll find plenty examples of good and not so good staffing agencies out there. A vital step when embarking on a job search is assessing which is which. Good agencies: Work hard to understand your motivations and your career aspirations, as well as your work history Treat your relationship as a long term one, not one that ends with a job placement. Know what they’re talking about – they have strong understanding of your profession and the jobs they’re working on Treat your application and personal details with respect and privacy Bad agencies: Are focused only on candidates they can place immediately and make a quick buck from Don’t take the time to get to know their candidates (some don’t even interview in person!) End contact with a candidate once they are placed in a job Send out your personal details to potential employers without your knowledge Don’t have an understanding of the roles they’re recruiting for and don’t have a relationship with the clients they claim to be working with. #staffingagency #healthcare #recruitment #tempstaff #emergencycover

🚨Interview Processes !!!🚨 Today I am grateful 🙏🏽 for the wonderful people I have connected with this week on LinkedIn, seeing their posts and passion for recruitment has inspired me to do more….. Any interview process shouldn’t take longer than 1-2 weeks from applying for the role to being offered or rejected. I had been searching for approx. 2 months, constantly on job boards all day and sometimes evenings too, after applying for over 100+ roles I got a job through LinkedIn. I didn’t want to take on any recruitment role as I was looking for a specific Industry. If it has taken you longer than a few weeks to search for a job, then think about the ways you are applying and the type of roles you are applying for before pressing that ‘Apply Now’ ✅ button. Companies should investigate and look into their timelines of getting back to candidates as they will lose potential good candidates. There is no reason why someone should be kept in the dark, recruiters can provide a simple email or even a 5mins call and feedback. 🩵 Tezlom® 🩵 were quick to approach me after I had applied for the role. ☀️ Contacted within 48 hours. ☀️ Interviewed and offered 2 days later. We aim to get back to candidates in a reasonable time frame. DM me if you are searching for a role within the Healthcare industry. #interviewprocess #healthcarecareers #carehomesuk #supportworkers #nursejobs #careassistant

Submitting candidates to roles in Senior Living is not as simple as plucking a candidate from a database and sending them to the client for review. Our search and vetting process is unmatched. From the time of job req launches to the first submission of a viable, qualified, top-talent candidate is 11 days on average. That is a short amount of time in the Senior Living industry to find candidate(s) who match and exceed the criteria. Think about how small the talent pool is. What unfolds next is numerous interview coordination, debriefing, constant communication, and next-level service to the client. Candidates are led every tiny step of the way. I will take a call at 6:45 am or on a Saturday morning to ensure a candidate is prepared and guided for each step. Going above and beyond is not always visible to clients, but is critical to getting the job done and providing a solid hire for their organization. Dedication, reliability, and tenacity are the key pieces to what we do. Our team does a superb job at client relations and candidate guidance. Smart hires are our priority. Let's chat. Our organization will benefit your organization. #seniorliving #assistedliving #memorycare #recruiter #recruiting #candidates #employees #hiringmanagers #interviews #opportunities #offers

OVER 20 INTERVIEWS and no one HIRED! Yet another friend telling me she can not find good talent. My thinking - If you interviewed 30 people and did not hire someone, then start looking in the mirror. The problem is recruiters and hiring managers are looking for the "perfect" candidate. NEWSFLASH!* - There is no "perfect" candidate. If you have someone with the right attitude and skill set to do the job, and they fit in with the team -- HIRE them. There are so many qualified individuals still job searching. Yet I see the same jobs being re-posted over and over again, being left vacant for months. Who took a chance on you? Maybe it's time you a took chance on someone. #HR #HiringManager #Recruiters #Jobs #Candidates

As a recruiter in a niche sector, I understand the importance of finding the right candidate for a particular role. It's not just about qualifications and experience, but also about the personality and culture fit. I recently had a conversation with a friend who shared that our recruitment process wouldn't work for her as the role she was looking for wasn't based on qualifications and specific experience. It got me thinking about the number of times I've heard similar concerns. Good recruiters take the time to understand their clients needs and find the right fit for their company. I pride myself on knowing my candidates inside out and being able to confidently put them forward based on their skills and personality fit. While qualifications are important, it's the person as a whole that makes them the right fit for a company. Have you had any funny or interesting experiences with recruiters? I remember being sent to an interview for a role that wasn't even close to what I had been told it was, and the commute was a 70-mile round trip instead of the promised 20. Fortunately we both laughed about it and gained some valuable networking, #alwaysasilverlining Share your stories in the comments below! #recruitment #hiring #jobsearch

Feeling undervalued or misrepresented by recruitment agencies is a common concern among job seekers. But why does this happen? 🤔 Firstly, many candidates feel like just another number in a database. When agencies focus on quantity over quality, the personal touch is lost. Candidates want to feel heard and understood, not just placed in any role that fits their CV. This lack of personalisation can lead to feelings of being undervalued. Secondly, misrepresentation often occurs when recruiters don't fully understand the candidate's skills or career aspirations. This can result in mismatched job placements, leaving candidates frustrated and disillusioned. It's crucial for recruiters to take the time to get to know their candidates beyond just their qualifications. Lastly, poor communication is a significant factor. Candidates often feel left in the dark about the status of their applications or feedback from interviews. Regular updates and honest feedback can go a long way in making candidates feel respected and valued throughout the process. At Oasis Business Personnel, we prioritise building genuine relationships with our candidates. We believe in quality over quantity, ensuring each candidate feels valued and accurately represented.

Recruiter insight: More often than not, when a candidate says that they crushed the interview and it's a shoo-in, it is not. It's usually a pass. Stay humble! Different recruiters recruit for different industries. (Typically). I recruit for the Elder Care space at the Executive and Director levels. Candidates: Your resume should reflect the role that you want to land and said experience should be at the forefront. Add side businesses, organization memberships, etc. to the end - if at all. DO NOT FORGET MONTHS/DATES. Always take the recruiter's call, or at least respond to our messages. You never know! If we do not have an update from the hiring manager, we will update the candidate with that non-update. It's better than silence. Sharing is caring. If you have the names of solid individuals who might benefit from being connected with a recruiter, share! There is a lot that is out of the recruiter's and hiring manager's control. Trust me, we are doing our best to make sure everyone wins!!
