Has anyone recently applied or interviewed with Manulife? I’m considering reapplying since it’s been six months, and I’m hoping for a better experience this time. My previous encounter with their recruitment process was a bit unusual, but the benefits they offer are appealing. I’m curious to know if anyone has noticed any improvements in their hiring procedures.
Exploring Salary Market Research for Tech Recruitment
As a new Tech Recruiter, I’ve been tasked with conducting extensive market research on salaries, primarily without directly reaching out to candidates. This approach is largely due to the rising costs of LinkedIn licenses and the need for efficiency.
To gather insights, I’ve been utilizing platforms like Glassdoor, Jobicy, and similar resources to understand potential salary ranges for different roles. However, I’ve found that much of the data available tends to be poorly validated or even nonsensical, making it challenging to navigate effectively.
Given these challenges, I’m curious about the best practices for conducting thorough salary market research. Are there any tools, software, or resources that could help streamline this process?
Thank you for your insights!

Seeking Advice on LinkedIn Talent Solutions
I’ve been in discussions with LinkedIn regarding transitioning to their Job Slots and Recruiter features instead of paying for individual job postings.
I have two options to consider:
1. 3 job slots with the Recruiter feature for approximately £3,200
2. 5 job slots without the Recruiter feature for £1,900 over a 6-month period.
Since most of our hiring focuses on junior positions, I’m unsure how beneficial the Recruiter feature would be for us. If anyone has experience with these features or any recommendations, I would greatly appreciate your insights!
Possible error?
I have a background check scheduled with CISIVE soon, and I just noticed that my resume isn’t entirely accurate. While the job titles are correct, the dates for one position are incorrect. How should I handle this? Should I inform them and submit an updated resume, or is it better to stay quiet? What’s the best course of action? 🥲

Struggling with Access to Job Advert Slots – Am I Overstepping by Advocating for Change?
Background:
I’ve spent the last three years working in agency recruitment. Initially, we were allocated three single-use job advert slots each month, which would disappear once utilized. Although our company has a website, it hasn’t proven effective in attracting quality candidates. Occasionally, we’ve managed to request an additional slot or two.
In the past year, however, we’ve gained access to a reusable job slot on Indeed. This slot rotates among team members weekly, allowing us to alternate posting opportunities.
The Situation:
I’m currently experiencing a successful quarter, with over €50k in billings against a target of €35k. For the first time in ages, I feel optimistic about my work in recruitment. However, management has recently eliminated all single-use job slots and cut access to CV databases. Although we’ve been promised more Indeed slots in the future, there’s no clear timeline.
Without the ability to post ads, I can only advertise jobs during the first week of the month, leaving me without any opportunities for the remainder. This situation forces me into relying entirely on cold sourcing, which, while a part of our work, feels like an unnecessary limitation. I genuinely believe I could generate €80k–€100k per quarter if I had better access to job postings and warm candidates.
I’ve expressed my concerns to management, but they seem unresponsive—acknowledging our frustrations in team meetings without taking real action.
Am I in the Wrong?
Should I persist in advocating for significant changes, or is this simply a situation I should accept? I’m eager to improve my performance and contribute more revenue to the company (and increase my own earnings in the process). However, if they remain unyielding, am I just wasting my energy?
What’s the general opinion—should I fight for better resources or just make the best of what I have?
