2023 is going to be a rocky road for most recruiters. There will still be outstanding opportunities, and some markets will fare better than others.

You are 3 messages away from disaster

This is for every single person in agency recruitment. Plenty of individuals and companies have had an excellent year, and well done to them. It’s been hard work. However, outstanding market conditions have covered some cracks and glossed over some flaws in your business makeup, or in how you recruit. I see vulnerabilities everywhere I […]

There are two types of recruiters.

There are only two types of recruiters. You are one – or the other. And the group you are in decides your recruiting future. Firstly, there are ‘honest recruiters’. Honest about their ability.

The best recruitment party ever?

I have been to hundreds of recruitment parties. You have been to quite a few, too, I imagine. Record months to be celebrated. Awards nights. End of years knees-ups. But this one was special. After a Covid-induced hiatus, the People2People STRIDE awards were back! 100 staff from the eight offices across New Zealand and Australia […]

9 ways to make your cold-call warm

Cold calling and hard-core business development were always crucial recruiter skills. Cold-calling waned in the post-covid boom, as job-briefs became plentiful and candidate availability dried up. Soon (or soonish), the market will soften, even go into recession, in which case many recruiters will be found out as they will have no idea what to do […]

You will not succeed without this

It is assessed when any recruiter is hired. It is discussed in every review of recruiter potential. It is lauded when success is sustained. And blamed for failure. It’s a core requirement to thrive in our profession and maybe succeed in modern life. Resilience. But what does ‘resilience’ really mean in the context of Recruitment? […]
