𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐞: 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐨𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐞𝐬 Are you sure your current project portfolio is return-optimised? Check it right now — your recruitment team might be able to earn much more! When I ask recruitment agencies who are their top-performing consultants, I hear it’s the ones who bring in the 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐞. Many of us have seen those magical leaderboards 💰📈 But is absolute revenue really the best measure of effectiveness? 🤔 In a recent audit case, I collected comprehensive yearly data, focusing on failed projects and “lost” fees. The results were unexpected: one of the top-3 consultants had a really high number of lost projects and a significant amount of missed revenue. This was a clear case of 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐛𝐢𝐚𝐬. 🚫🔍 Everyone was focused on the revenue generated, celebrating new placements, and giving even more high-value positions to this top performer. Meanwhile, some other recruiters had a smaller portfolio but a higher success rate — they were maximizing the value from the projects they had. Their fill rate was notably higher than that of the “superstar” 🌟📉 How to handle this? We addressed the issue of portfolio balance and developed a new logic for distributing projects among teams. After six months of testing, the fill rate for the top three consultants improved significantly while maintaining the same billing levels, and the teams that received redistributed business showed better financial results. 📈👏 This was encouraging, and we look forward to the next measurements at the end of the year. This involved a comprehensive effort from the team and the recruitment leader, including not just project redistribution but also intensive mentoring and training. I’ll cover this in my next update. 🔄📅 What metrics do you use to evaluate the effectiveness of your recruiters and teams?

Is Your In-House Executive Talent Scouting and Recruitment Function Maximizing Its Potential? Let’s take a closer look at the reality of deploying in-house executive talent scouting and recruitment. For years, companies have debated the benefits of relying on external executive search firms versus building in-house executive talent scouting and recruitment teams. The promise of an in-house function is compelling: more control, a dedicated team embedded within your organization, stronger alignment to your EVP and culture, faster results through ongoing talent engagement, and significant cost savings compared to external search firms. But here’s the question: Is your in-house team delivering equal or greater quality and value when compared to the top external executive search firms and does your team produce the ROI you expect? After more than a decade of experience working in-house and building these functions for large multinational organizations, I’ve seen firsthand that despite the advantages, there are still major challenges that must be overcome: - Managing multiple projects across various business units and geographies. - Fragmented project management data, making it difficult to accurately report ROI. - Disconnected talent data, interaction information spread across different repositories. - The need for rapid creation of KPI reports upon request that provide clear, visual insights. - Proving ROI and impact to ExCom and leadership through compelling presentations. Here’s the reality: without the right structure and tools, even the best in-house teams may fall short of expectations. Global Heads of Executive Talent Scouting and Recruitment often struggle to showcase the true impact of their efforts. And let’s face it—if you can’t measure and present KPIs quickly, how can you analyze and optimize your function? Pro tip: If your in-house executive talent scouting and recruitment function isn’t delivering on expectations, maybe it’s time to rethink how you track and manage your team's activities.
