I kid....🤔 But seriously, Recruiters are Superheroes. We beat our heads against the wall searching for and reaching out to candidates in the hope that they will give us two minutes to tell them about a great opportunity. We get "ghosted" frequently. We are often unfairly viewed as unethical trolls who will say and do anything to make a buck. Then we get up and do it again the next day. Recruiters...I salute you!!!! #superrecruiters #recruiterjobs #staffingindustry #directhire #temporarystaffing

We have an exciting announcement 😎 One of the biggest pushbacks we get in the world of Recruitment is that it's very hard to get through to Recruiters. From our side, it's no way intentional for us to be avoiding you, it's just near impossible to get back to everyone given the sheer volume of inbound activity we get every day. If I had a team of five Charlies (terrifying thought - I know) it still wouldn't be enough to get back to everyone that reaches out. So we've come up with a middle ground approach that brings a lot more transparency to the process and hopefully gives a bit of insight on the way. Every Wednesday, we'll be sending out a mailer to everyone with a bit of commentary on the market, some helpful tips, and a couple of priority jobs we'll need your help with. Instead of having to check in for potential updates, we'll bring them straight to you. So, if you want to be first to access to our most in demand roles and get exclusive insights on the market, all you have to do is sign up via the link in the comments! MCG Talent

Referrals! Here's how you can help get people hired. We all see what's going on in the job market It's competitive In some areas volatile Layoffs and restructuring seem a weekly occurrence When you get approached by a recruiter And you're not interested in the role Here's what you can do 1. Think of someone in your network with those skills and refer them to the recruiter (If you know they are looking for a change) 2. If you're aware of looming redundancy in your company/team, share opportunities with people who you know will do a great job in that role. 3. Ask recruiters if you can share their details with people that you know are urgently looking for work, I'm sure they'll appreciate it We can all do our little part to help the people around us Share opportunities Share contacts And let's get people employed #recruitment #fmcg

It's a cluttered jobs market out there. There are loads of candidates vying for only a handful of jobs. This means that lots of candidates will be equal in terms of skill set and experience, making the selection process harder for recruiters. But anyone can acquire a skill set or years of experience, given time. What about recruiting for personality: - Cultural fit? - Could I sit next to this person, day after day? - Would they ruffle feathers? - How would they affect morale if they came into my team? - Would they lift people or be difficult to work with? - If we came up against tough times, how would they react? - What are their interests outside of work, and could that benefit them in the job, in terms of their thinking and their reference points? - Based on existing characters in the office/team, would they settle in well? Are there any other differentiating factors outside of skill set and experience?

Finding the best people for your business is THE toughest and most exhausting work for any company and the MOST IMPORTANT WORK. I know....because I've been there myself I've advertised and interviewed and have nearly employed people that wouldn't have been right, out of desperation I've employed people who weren't right out of desperation and it cost me money I've chosen the wrong candidates because there didn't seem to be "anyone else" Who has time to look in every nook and cranny for employees? WELL, MAKE TIME. OR INVEST IN SOMEONE WHO DOES. Having a 28 year history of recruitment and now running my own recruitment company GCR Recruitment Solutions alongside The Gift Club and The BIG Handshake (TBH) , I don't have an internal HR team and looking for a unicorn is soooo time consuming so I find the best solution is to work with an external head hunters that way I avoid all the above and can get on with so many other tasks in the businesses I rely on them to find me and my hiring clients THE BEST no matter how long it takes. Thanks to my recruitment partner, Lucy-Claire Allen at Trifecta Consulting Services for making life easier for me and my clients If you're struggling or just finding employee hunting overwhelming, I can introduce you to one of the hardest working, most professional people I've ever known.

Partnerships with people who compliment your business are the best! Recently a client approached me to find them a candidate for a role within their company, after having a call with them to find out their business needs, I discovered they needed many other services, which enabled me to recommend Chris Pink Julian Roberts and Ian Moore, I did try and recommend Steve Wilson but they already used his brilliant services! Who are your go to people? Tag them in and give them a shout out. #recruitment #recruiting #talentacquisition #JobSearch #Employment #Hiring

Accountability is a two way street in the hiring process. While candidates often voice frustrations, I rarely hear from recruiters and hiring managers. As someone who understands both sides, here's my take: Recruiters are essentially salespeople with quotas to meet. Calling back every candidate isn't the most efficient use of their time, especially when their compensation is tied to filling roles. I propose this: HR should prioritize giving feedback to candidates who reach the final interview stages. This respects everyone's time while still offering valuable insights to those most invested in the process. Candidates should maintain a proactive approach. Keep applying, networking, and building your personal brand. Don't rely solely on any single recruiter or opportunity. Remember, interviews are like first dates, exciting but noncommittal. The real relationship begins with a signed offer letter. ✍🏽 Let's foster a more transparent and efficient hiring process where both sides feel valued and respected. #careeradvice #jobsearch #hiring #opentowork
