How Using a Recruitment Agency Reduces Hiring Risks for Employers** Hiring new staff can be a daunting process, filled with uncertainties. Here's how partnering with a recruitment agency can mitigate these risks: 1. **Expert Screening**: Agencies specialise in identifying top talent, ensuring candidates are thoroughly vetted and qualified, reducing the risk of a bad hire. 2. **Access to Passive Candidates**: With extensive networks, agencies reach passive job seekers who aren’t actively applying but may be perfect fits, expanding your talent pool. 3. **Market Insights**: Agencies provide valuable market data, helping you make informed decisions on salaries and benefits, aligning your offers with industry standards to attract the best candidates. 4. **Time Efficiency**: By handling the initial stages of recruitment, agencies save you time and resources, allowing you to focus on core business activities. 5. **Replacement Guarantees**: Many agencies offer a replacement guarantee if a candidate leaves within a certain period, ensuring you don’t bear the full cost of an unexpected turnover. Partner with a recruitment agency to streamline your hiring process and build a stronger, more reliable team. #Recruitment #Hiring #HR #BusinessGrowth #TalentAcquisition #warehouse #industrial #logistics #engineering #office #md #managers #operation

Are you #OpentoWork ? Have you been put off having the "Open to Work" banner on your profile because of what pseudo experts, that have never worked in recruitment, said in a post? I have seen a number of posts and reposts of so called experts creating click bait by saying the Open to Work banner is desperate. The Open to Work Banner was created by LinkedIn to help people that want a job to be seen, the same as #Hiring is used by employers to let people know they are hiring. Recruiters want to be able to find the people that are open to a new job. If you don't use the Open to Work Banner, our clients struggle to fill their vacancies and you struggle to get that great job we want to talk to you about. #LinkedIn was originally created to help people find a job through online networking, don't be put off by Social Media Guru that don't have a clue about recruitment. If you are unsure about your job search, talk to a recruiter, we are the experts after all.

Being a 'Specialist Recruiter' is not a new concept, everyone has a niche now. But, if you genuinely know the space you support.....and can build trust and credibility in your market over the phone - why not do that at scale? I spoke to a client last month who had 27,000 1st connections specific to the market they support struggling for new client relationships. What was their BD strategy? Over a month emailing a list of 2500 cold contacts from ZoomInfo using a 4 stage email campaign....you know the ones. Responses so far....Zero. What were they doing on LinkedIn to engage what is a fairly hefty audience....nothing........in fact they had never posted anything, ever. Based on user stats over 20,000 of that same Recruiters connections visit LinkedIn at least once a week for 7.5 minutes on average. You can communicate with them everyday through content. And they come voluntarily - Its a completely different communication strategy . If they spent some time talking about whats happening in their market right now....building some credibility and trust they could reach 8x more than the cold list off of ZoomInfo in a shorter period. If only 1% of that audience ask the recruiter for help thats 200 enquiries a week! So again.... if you rate yourself in your niche. Why are you waiting for that connected call, or email response to give yourself the chance of standing out?

Ciara Chapman got some very interesting results to a recent survey - see below: "What is the biggest challenge you face during your recruitment process? The author can see how you vote. Learn more What is the biggest challenge you face during your recruitment process?" Difficult Location - 10% Competitive Salaries - 10% Lack of experienced candidates - 80% Other (please comment) - 0% Our sales division has made more placements in the first half of 2024 than any other first half in our company's history. If you are recruiting talk to us we are here to help but the following is worth considering prior to a conversation: 1) What are the "must haves" and not an unrealistic "Euro Millions list of attributes". 2) How will you attract them - why do you work there? What growth plans does your company have? How are you different to the competition (What is your USPs as a business?) How are you innovating with new products or applications for existing ones? How do you back your sales people? How effective is your marketing (exhibitions, conferences, sponsorship, professional memberships, marketing collateral)? What is your culture / What is it like to work for you? 3) Is your basic salary competitive (people need to pay bills - commissions and bonuses are what drive sales people and make them strive to be number one but don't expect successful sales people to join you on less. 4) Is your car policy flexible and attractive. Companies offering hybrids as the norm and electric cars if practical or realistic Car Allowances (preferably a choice of either) find it easier to attract people. 5) It's a very competitive market with most applicants having multiple choices in where they go - delay in making decisions and you WILL loose people. Telling that only 10% said Difficult Location. My experience says that if you have an exacting and tight person specification and you then add in a location with little flexibility, you are likely to fail. We will also become your "ambassadors" selling your role truthfully and with conviction to both new and existing candidates. We have over 100 years combined experience recruiting sales professionals - feel free to call us to discuss your vacancies and we will offer genuine advice on how we can help. (We also have successful and well established Technical, Construction, Manufacturing & Operations, EMEA recruiters who recruit for both Permanent and Contract roles).
