What do you say if your Client uses The ‘C’ Word?

As the market recovers, misguided clients will try to push down agency fees. Under the flawed impression that ‘recruiting is easy now’ and ‘there are lots of candidates because of Covid’, some employers will try to leverage recruiters on fee, and they will use both old tactics and new. I have blogged about how you […]

Thinking about starting your own Recruitment Agency?

You are thinking about starting your own recruitment agency? It could be exactly the right time. Huge opportunity. (Read how my Agency start-ups worked after a recession!) But you need a plan! And lots of moving parts can go wrong. Many who try are ill-prepared. Some have a chance of making it. All need help. […]

Recruitment Agencies see massive job bounce-back!

We all know what happened to Recruitment demand from March onwards last year. It was disastrous. In Australia and New Zealand at least, we have seen massive improvements. Many Agencies are in growth mode. Anecdotally, despite everything, pipelines were filling up in the last Quarter of 2020. But where is the empirical data? Is it […]

If this is you, get out of recruitment now!

This is so important. Do you think you are a ‘good recruiter‘, when in fact you are only average? Do you think, having survived the Covid debacle, you will rise phoenix-like from the ashes and fly ever upwards? It doesn’t matter where you work, or what you do. If you recruit, especially in an Agency, […]

Are you a sad, mad, ‘Recruiting Tragic’?

What is a ‘recruiting tragic’? A ‘recruiting tragic’ is a person who can’t help bringing most things in life back to… recruiting….or recruitment… or recruiters. I admit to being guilty. I know many others in the sad club. We don’t want to be like this. We don’t speak of our affliction. It’s just in our […]

This new Recruitment Trend will hurt you!

The topic that launched a thousand blogs. How will recruitment change post-covid? A lot of gloomy predictions. And some overly dramatic ones. So here is mine. Not ‘post-covid’, because when is that going to be? But certainly 2021 It is happening already, and when it hits your market, you will be unprepared, unless you act, […]
