Searching for jobs in the recruitment industry

Exploring Job Opportunities in the Recruitment Industry

Hello everyone!

I’m currently an analyst in the staffing sector with a large Managed Service Provider (MSP). While I’ve enjoyed my time here, I’m eager to explore new opportunities with other recruitment firms.

One challenge I’m facing is that my job search often returns listings for recruitment positions rather than roles within recruitment firms themselves.

What strategies do you recommend for effectively navigating this job search?

I understand that strengthening my LinkedIn network will be crucial, so I’m definitely planning to focus on that as well. Thank you for your insights!

I’m trying to find out if there is a need for my skill set.

I’m exploring the demand for my skills in lead generation.

Hi there! In the past, I utilized email marketing to help book sales calls for my friend’s agency, and during that experience, I gained valuable insights that motivated me to start my own agency. I’m curious to know if there’s a genuine need for lead generation services in the market. I’ve noticed that many providers claim to deliver 20 to 50 clients with a “done-for-you” approach, often without any fees, which seems hard to believe. My focus is on providing high-quality leads from individuals who are genuinely interested in your services and have the financial capacity to purchase. Plus, my pricing is performance-based. I would appreciate any feedback or advice!

anyone experience with Huntly.ai?

Has anyone had any experience with Huntly.ai? I’m looking to earn some extra income while working from home here in the Netherlands, and I stumbled upon a site called ‘huntly.ai’.

In a nutshell, Huntly.ai is a recruitment platform that connects tech recruiters with companies, utilizing a competition-based model to provide pre-screened candidates. Fees are only charged when a hire is made.

Has anyone used this website or heard of it? I’d love to hear about any firsthand experiences! It appears promising, but I’m uncertain about its legitimacy.

Impact of an NDA?

Understanding the Implications of an NDA

I need some guidance on the effects of signing a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). I’m in the process of searching for a full-time job and considering an internship that requires me to sign an NDA and a Confidentiality Agreement before any discussions. I’m concerned about how this might impact my job prospects with other companies in the same industry. Can I sign the NDA confidently, knowing it won’t hinder my chances for future full-time roles in similar sectors? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Independent recruiters and small-sized agencies of the world! What’s the success fee and condition you offer your services with?

Attention independent recruiters and small agencies around the world! I’m curious about the success fees and terms of service you offer.

I recently launched my own recruitment agency in Hungary alongside some former colleagues; it’s primarily a part-time venture for us. Fortunately, we’ve begun to receive inquiries from foreign companies in Austria and Germany. However, since we’re not very familiar with the pricing structures for HR services in these countries, we had to rely on some “eyeball estimation” when providing our business offer.

We ultimately secured a contract with a German company, where we receive 15% of the gross salary of the workers for up to one year, along with a 60-day warranty period in the beginning. The positions we’re filling include electricians, mechanics, and similar roles.

Did we strike a good deal compared to other German HR providers, or have we simply become an affordable outsourcing option? 😄

What are the typical recruitment fees in your countries?

Job after PhD

Navigating Job Opportunities After a PhD

Hello everyone,

I’m reaching out to the professional recruiters and talent acquisition specialists for some guidance. I’m currently based in Denmark and completed my PhD in Organizational Behavior in December 2021. At the moment, I’m still engaged in research and teaching at the university. Prior to pursuing my PhD, I accumulated around six years of experience in HR and recruitment roles in the industry.

Now, I’m eager to transition back into an HR-related position in the industry. I want to emphasize that I consider myself flexible in terms of salary and would be open to starting in an assistant role to facilitate my growth within an organization.

However, despite applying for various jobs for the past year, I have received minimal responses. I suspect that my lack of recent operational experience may be a hindrance, and it seems that many companies are unsure how to value my PhD and research background.

I would greatly appreciate any tips or strategies to help me secure interviews. Do recruiters still read cover letters? Is it effective to apply unsolicited?

Any insights would be incredibly helpful! Thank you!

Not enjoying recruiting, feeling trapped. Please help!

Feeling Stuck in Recruitment – Seeking Advice!

I’m reaching out because I’m feeling really trapped in my current job and could use some guidance or just a space to share my thoughts.

I’ve been working in agency recruitment in Liverpool for just over two years now. Although I initially loved this career and had been eager to enter the field, I’m currently struggling. I didn’t attend university, which meant I broke into recruitment through previous sales roles where I performed well.

In my first six months, I excelled, breaking several company records and billing around £70k right away. However, since that initial success, I’ve faced numerous obstacles, from unreliable clients to slow-moving markets, which have significantly impacted my numbers. As a result, my current performance has been quite disappointing.

To make matters worse, I’m finding it increasingly difficult to enjoy my time at this company due to a high level of micromanagement. My manager constantly reaches out via emails, messages, and calls – often from early morning until late at night. It’s overwhelming, and I feel like I’m dreading every moment in this role.

Here’s the kicker: my partner lives in London, and I plan to relocate there later this year. I’m optimistic about finding a new job with better pay and a healthier work environment once I move. We’re casually looking, but I don’t have an exact timeline for my move yet.

I’ve been trying to ride it out in my current position, but it’s been a struggle. I’m feeling demotivated and perpetually anxious. While I’ve contemplated switching industries, I know I excel at recruitment, and my lack of qualifications might limit my options. Moreover, I need to maintain a higher salary to prepare for my move, making it challenging to transition smoothly into a new field.

Is it worth searching for a new role here, given that I might leave in the next 6-9 months? I feel incredibly stuck and stressed, and it’s becoming overwhelming.

If anyone has tips or advice on how to navigate this situation, I would greatly appreciate your input!

Is internal recruitment dead?

Is Internal Recruitment a Thing of the Past?
I’m considering transitioning from agency recruitment to an internal role, but I’ve heard that the internal recruitment market is struggling. Is this true? Am I making a major misstep?

To give you some background, the company I’m joining is expanding and has just created a new position within their recruitment team, which I’ll be stepping into.
