Robertson Recruitment’s Post

A tip for all job seekers out there: When applying to a company, take the time to build connections within the organization and find an ally. These relationships can provide valuable insights into the company culture, values, and expectations. Plus, having an advocate on the inside can potentially help you during the hiring process. Networking within the organization demonstrates your proactive approach and genuine interest in becoming part of the team. So, don't be afraid to reach out and start forging those connections! You got this! @Fourcerecruiting.com

🌟 Unlock the Power of Employee Referral Programs! 🌟 In today's competitive hiring landscape, discovering top talent is more crucial than ever. At Blackbird Recruiting, we recognize the immense value of Referral Programs in achieving this goal. Consider this: your existing contacts are connected within their professional circles. By implementing a robust Referral Program, you harness this invaluable network to attract candidates who align perfectly with a company's culture and goals. Here are the key benefits: ✨ Quality Connections: Good connections often know other top talent. Through referrals, you can access a pool of candidates who are not only skilled but also likely to integrate seamlessly into any team. 🎯 Incentivize referrals with bonuses: This not only boosts morale but also strengthens camaraderie as connections collaborate to bring in great new hires. 🤝 Mutual Success: A well-executed referral program benefits everyone involved. Connections feel empowered and rewarded for their contributions, while the company gains access to high-caliber candidates who are pre-vetted by trusted sources. We believe in fostering a culture of growth and collaboration. Let's discuss how we can maximize our potential together! #EmployeeReferrals #HiringStrategy #TeamBuilding #CompanyCulture #GrowWithUs

Yesterday, Adrienne and I had the pleasure of meeting some fantastic people. But 3 complaints we're hearing from MK companies: 1 - 'recruitment companies all use the same job boards' 2 - 'we see the same old faces' 3 - 'candidates always have multiple opportunities, so we lose out' That's why we don't use job boards. We've been fortunate that our clients have taken us across EMEA and the US to hire for them. However, one thing I've missed is regular interaction with local people and businesses. Over the years, I've recruited for some of the fastest-growing tech companies based in MK, so it makes sense that we start to embed ourselves in MK again. One thing I've realised is that not many Recruiters are utilising the tech and go-to-market strategies we employ, so we're making a conscious effort to connect with more MK businesses who want to find out how to place their best hires. #technicalrecruitment #salesrecruitment #technicalsales #itsales #softwaresales #miltonkeynes #recruitment

*HOW IS IT MARCH!?* I was always told from my earliest days in sales: YOU'RE ONLY AS GOOD AS YOUR LAST MONTH In other words, whilst you'd be right to personally celebrate a good month in recruitment, the dials are now reset and it's time to build again. A good recruiter will believe in their ability to repeat that success, and with the right company backing, it's usually very achievable. However, if you're in the wrong company and last month was a rarity, then maybe it's time to find something else. If this is the case, give me a call and we'll set that right. Have a great Friday, and an even better weekend everyone! #recruitment #recruiting #recruiter #rec2rec #newopportunities

*END OF ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL WEEK!* As we wrap up week four of January, I can't help but feel a renewed sense of confidence for the months ahead. This week, I've had the pleasure of connecting with some exceptional recruiters and even had the opportunity to present some exciting new roles. That's what makes this industry so rewarding! Whether you're looking to hire or find your next role, don't hesitate to reach out. Wishing you all a fantastic weekend, you've earned it! #recruitment #recruiting #rec2rec #newopportunities #recruitmentproblems

🛠️ When Every Role Matters 🛠️ A client in a specialized industry reached out to us—they needed someone with a very niche skill set to complete a critical project. It wasn’t just about finding someone quickly; it was about finding the right person to ensure the project’s success. We scoured our networks, vetted candidates thoroughly, and finally found the perfect fit. That hire didn’t just fill a role—they played a key part in completing the project on time and securing future contracts for the company. At Hirego, we know that even one hire can make a huge difference. Let’s help you find that difference-maker. #NicheHiring #TalentMatters #Hirego

Something funny has happened. I find myself turning away many more clients than we onboard. As we continue to grow (thank G-d), our existing clientele keeps coming back, and we obviously prioritize serving them first while striving to do it better and better. We've also learned what type of client is a good fit for our model. Our job of making great hires doesn't lie solely on us recruiters. When a company knows what role they need to fill, they know what they are looking for, how to hire, how to manage, and how to retain. We can do a good job of bringing GREAT people. The best is when they know the process of working with other recruiters so they can see how special we are :) Unfortunately, when they don't, the process becomes very challenging, and no one really wins. We are grateful to be in a position where we can make smart choices and work with clients that are a good fit, and we're even more thankful for our amazing clients who keep coming back to us to hire more. I guess we are doing a decent job if we have returning customers that are constantly growing! :) #grateful #bhired
