How to approach prospective clients

Strategies for Engaging Potential Clients

Hello everyone,

As someone who is new to the recruiting field, I’m seeking your insights on effectively approaching prospective clients you’d like to partner with. Our team has a goal of signing a certain number of new clients each quarter, but so far, I’ve struggled to make any connections. I’m beginning to wonder if companies are handling their recruitment internally or if the market is simply flooded with recruiters, making my outreach efforts feel similar to telemarketing. Any advice or best practices you could share would be greatly appreciated!

Collaborating with Software Agencies
I recently opened up two software engineering positions and have received numerous inquiries from software agencies offering to provide developers for our projects.

Has anyone here had experience working with software agencies? Would it be a viable option to present to my boss?

From a recruitment perspective, what is going on? My odd experience

Title: Seeking Clarity on My Recruitment Experience

Hello everyone,

I’d appreciate your insights on my recent recruitment experience, as I’m a bit puzzled by the situation.

I applied for two roles at a remote company and was quickly rejected for one, while the other led to an interview invitation, which I was thrilled about.

I went through a series of three interviews and put significant effort into a major presentation that required extensive preparation. During the final interview two weeks ago, I felt it went reasonably well. The hiring manager mentioned they were having difficulties with recruitment, which seemed promising for my chances. I was told to expect a decision by the end of last week (just four days later), which I was fine with.

However, after 1.5 weeks with no updates, I sent a polite follow-up email to the in-house recruiter, considering they might be busy given their numerous job postings. Unfortunately, there was no response. Interestingly, I also noticed that the job listing was either taken down just before or right after my inquiry.

Feeling frustrated by the lack of communication, I reached out again yesterday—this time to the recruiter and the two managers involved in the process. I expressed my desire for an update and explained that I was holding off on other offers pending their decision. I was careful to maintain a polite tone, but I did convey my frustration.

Still, I received no replies from any of them yesterday.

Then, late last night, I saw that the job was reposted under a slightly different title, but with essentially the same details.

Can anyone provide insights into what might be happening here?

  • If I wasn’t selected, why hasn’t a rejection email been sent? With an ATS in place, it shouldn’t be difficult.
  • If I was chosen for the position, why the delay and reposting?
  • If there’s another reason, why hasn’t anyone responded to my emails?

Thanks for your thoughts!

Dean Da Costa (SSAR) has a new souring sight that is awesome

Exciting news! Dean Da Costa from SSAR has launched a fantastic new sourcing site called The Sourcing Links. Many of you may already know about his long-standing project at https://start.me/p/GE7Ebm/ssar, but this new site takes things to a whole new level.

The Bronze level is free and packed with an array of powerful tools, all in one convenient location. It features X-ray search, boolean search capabilities, CSS, email/phone lookup, email verification, and much more.

You can find a wealth of instructional videos on how to utilize the site on Dean’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@DeanDaCostathesearchauthority. I recently joined a Google Meet where Dean showcased the site, and I was thoroughly impressed. Although I typically use LI Sales Navigator and SalesQL and don’t delve deeply into X-ray or Boolean searching, I found this tool so compelling that I’m signing up for the paid version. For those of you who are well-versed in Boolean or X-ray searches, I’m confident you’ll absolutely love what this site offers!

Recruitment Salary in UK

Recruitment Salary in the UK

Hey everyone,

I’ve been in healthcare recruitment for about 10 months now, working primarily in temporary placements.

I’m excited to share that I was recently promoted to a senior position. Here’s a breakdown of my compensation:

  • Base Salary: £30,000
  • Quarterly Bonuses: The commission structure is as follows:
  • 0% on the first £7,500
  • 10% on billings up to £50,000
  • 13.5% on billings up to £75,000
  • 15% on billings over £75,000
    (These percentages are incremental based on the specific billing thresholds.)

For this quarter, I’ve earned a bonus of approximately £5,700 from £60,000 in billings.

I’d love to hear your thoughts: Is this compensation considered good for a recruitment role, or is it more on the average or below-average side?

Thanks!
