A resilience lesson from a rookie recruiter

The last 18 months have been great for recruiters. Not easy, but great rewards for the hard-working. The market will turn, and fresh challenges will emerge. It’s likely to be a grind if the market declines. More work for less return. Older recruiting hands will know what I am referring to. I fear some recruiters […]

This one sign means a downturn

Everywhere you look, there is commentary and predictions about a downturn or a recession. Every day I ask my clients and other recruitment business owners whether they have felt any fall-off in job-order flow. Logically, that’s the first sign of a decline in demand, and perhaps a warning of a downturn (or worse). But the […]

What will your tombstone say?

My life? 1958 – 2043. That’s what my tombstone will say. If the Shiraz does not get me sooner, and I last that long. It could easily say 1958 – 2022. (Although I sincerely hope not!) But that’s the point. The dates themselves are not that important – as long as they are a reasonable […]

Are you ‘client-flabby’ or are you ‘client-fit’?

Recruitment became more ‘remote‘ because of Covid. There was no alternative. But now, for many recruiters, it remains that way, ‘because it suits them!’. Add to this a candidate-tight market where plenty of recruiters have developed a one-sided skill-set that focuses only on candidate activities. You have an unhealthy situation where clients are being ignored, […]

Do you know what ‘normal’ is?
