Launching My Own Recruitment Firm in the UK
Hi everyone,
A couple of years ago, I worked at a recruitment agency, and ever since, I’ve been considering the idea of starting my own firm.
I’ve managed to save enough to support myself for the next nine months, so I feel ready to take the plunge.
I would greatly appreciate any tips or advice you might have!
Thanks!
Exploring Rippling Payroll: How Does It Stack Up Against Gusto and ADP?
I’m exploring Rippling for our payroll requirements and would love to get insights from anyone who’s used it. How does Rippling measure up against other payroll services like Gusto or ADP? Are there any standout features it offers? Additionally, are there any potential drawbacks or issues I should be aware of? Thanks in advance for your feedback!
Construction Recruitment Europe
We’re eager to enhance our understanding of effective recruitment strategies throughout Europe. Every year, we offer over 500 construction roles and are looking to expand our talent pool. Unfortunately, we often feel stuck when it comes to finding the right channels to tap into.
Our primary focus is on sourcing European workers to support various projects in data centers and pharmaceutical facilities. However, we’re beginning to feel the strain on our talent pool and have invested considerable resources in the past without clear insights on the effectiveness of the partners and candidates we engaged with. We’re seeking external perspectives on successful strategies for sourcing this type of talent, as our projects are ongoing and we are consistently busy recruiting.
We’re open to exploring both well-established and unconventional methods. If you have any tips or recommendations, we’d greatly appreciate your input. Our recruitment efforts heavily emphasize electrical positions, ranging from general operatives to contract managers. While we have a limited supply of general operatives and electricians, securing senior site candidates has proven more difficult through traditional avenues like LinkedIn and UK job boards.
If you have valuable insights to share, please reach out. We’re also open to discussing consultancy fees for effective and proven talent sourcing strategies.
Thank you in advance for your help! 🙏
(Edit: Our team consists of a small group of internal recruiters.)
What is the typical salary for someone in New Jersey with my background?
I have a decade of experience and earned my bachelor’s degree in 2015. After some time in engineering, I transitioned into brand marketing—I’ve humorously labeled my earlier roles as “Analytical Engineer Level 4” on LinkedIn. Now, as I focus on advancing my career as an analyst, I’ve updated my profile to reflect my later SEO/SEM and brand marketing positions as “Senior Analyst” roles.
Currently, I’m a Senior Analyst in Data & Audience Strategy at Reckitt in New Jersey. I also completed my master’s degree at Montclair State University, and I’m grateful to my sister who, not working herself, graciously offered me a place to stay while living in the area thanks to her husband.
My current salary is around $130k, including all components. Is this typical for my experience and role? I’m a legal immigrant in the U.S., and I’d appreciate any insights into salary expectations in my field.

How do they manage payroll, benefits, and compliance? Are there any hidden fees or limitations that I should be aware of?
Your insights would be invaluable in helping me make an informed decision!

Hello everyone!
I’m a college student currently researching my thesis on the role of AI in recruitment and its effects on the hiring process, both advantageous and challenging. To enhance my study, I’m seeking insights from HR professionals, recruiters, and candidates regarding this topic. Your contributions would be immensely helpful!
For Employers:
– Do you incorporate AI into your hiring process? If so, at which stages (e.g., job listing, sourcing, screening, testing, interviews) do you find it most beneficial?
– What benefits and drawbacks have you observed?
– Do you consider the use of AI to be ethical?
– Do you think AI could replace human recruiters in the future?
For Candidates:
– Have you ever gone through an AI-driven recruitment process? If yes, what was your experience like, and which tools were employed?
– Do you find this approach fair? Are you comfortable with AI making the final hiring decision?
Your perspectives are crucial in helping me evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of AI in recruitment. Please feel free to share your thoughts or experiences—I’m eager to hear varied viewpoints. Thank you in advance for your time and insights!
Changing Commission
Has anyone experienced a significant change in their commission structure after many years at a company?
I’ve been with my employer for over ten years, and recently, they implemented a new commission structure that impacts only me.
Has anyone here worked with Ramp Global? I really appreciate this community and its insights. I’m with a US-based firm that has done some preliminary work with Ramp. They’re interested in having us take on some international positions, but there’s a $3,800 entry fee. I’m feeling hesitant about this, as I don’t have much control over the process. I’d love to hear if anyone else has partnered with them, and what your experience and return on investment has been. Thanks, everyone!
Edit: Just to clarify, the $3,800 is an entry fee to do business with Ramp, not the fee we would receive. I’m curious if Ramp offers enough legitimate job opportunities to justify this cost.
Subscriptions for Sourcing Platforms
Good evening, recruiters!
I’d like to get your insights on a matter.
If your organization offers access to just one sourcing platform, such as Indeed, would you be willing to invest in subscriptions to additional platforms to enhance your ability to fill more positions? Or would you prefer to rely solely on the options provided by your company?
