Has anyone else observed that October and November have been a bit quieter for recruitment agencies? It appears that our industry has hit a pause on new roles. I’m interested to hear if other agencies are experiencing the same trend.
Hey everyone! Are there any JobAdder users in the community? I’m curious to hear if you’re using any Add-Ons and what your experience has been with them.
We currently use the standard version of JobAdder along with a couple of basic/free add-ons. We often come across new features being advertised, but many of the add-ons seem overpriced for the value they provide.
We’re particularly considering the Candidate Portal and JobAdder Analytics, but we’re uncertain if they would genuinely benefit our small team. Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Subject: Seeking Hiring Insights for India
Hello everyone! 👋
This is my first post here, and I’m reaching out for some guidance on recruitment in India. My company is looking to hire a remote Account Manager based in India, and I’m keen to learn more about the hiring landscape there.
Could you share your experiences and insights regarding the culture, the people, and any tips that might help me during the interview process? I’m starting from scratch and would greatly appreciate your advice! Thank you!
Seeking Advice on Transitioning to Recruitment
I’m looking to transition into recruitment from a marketing background and have received an offer for a role as a recruitment resourcing consultant. The base salary is standard for entry-level positions (around £20k), but the commission structure and opportunities for progression seem limited.
My main question is: if I accept this role and gain some experience, will it pave the way for me to eventually secure a full 360 recruitment consultant position or a trainee role? I understand I’d likely need to switch companies for that, so I’m curious if this experience will be valuable, even though it doesn’t involve direct client interaction (my goal is to work in a full agency 360 capacity eventually).
Is gaining experience as a resourcing consultant beneficial before moving on to a 360 role?
Seeking Remote Hiring Advice in India
Hello everyone,
This is my first time posting here! I’m looking for guidance on recruiting in India.

Looking for Top Compliance/Onboarding Software
Has anyone found an effective software solution for onboarding candidates? In the healthcare field, I usually need to gather, review (often with back-and-forth communication), and finalize over 15 individual documents. Additionally, I often require hospitals and clinicians to also verify and sign these documents.
Is there a software out there that can streamline this entire process? I’ve tried Deputy, but it lacks the customization I need for my specific document workflow, and the format for signing documents doesn’t work well. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Seeking New Tech Specialization Ideas
Hi everyone! I’m a first-time poster here.
As the founder of a small recruitment agency nearing its three-year milestone, I’ve spent six years specializing in tech recruitment, focusing mainly on open-source web technologies like JavaScript and a bit of cloud services. While most of my work has been in the UK, I’ve also ventured into the American market.
This past year has been challenging, and I find myself feeling drained from working in such a saturated niche. The competition is fierce, and I often feel undervalued.
I’m eager to explore new niche opportunities, ideally within the tech sector. Where are others finding success?
I’ve started to look into Cyber Security and Supply Chain Robotics, but I’m keen to hear any other suggestions!
Thank you!
Freelance Recruiters in the IT Industry: Protecting Our Rights
As a freelance recruiter specializing in the IT sector, I’ve encountered a recurring issue that’s difficult to navigate. One of my clients regularly reaches out to inform me they have an open position that needs filling. I dedicate time and effort to identify suitable candidates, only to find out a week later that their internal HR team has already filled the role, rendering my services unnecessary. Unfortunately, this has happened multiple times across different positions, despite my efforts to present a solid pool of candidates.
Our agreement stipulates that I would be compensated for each successful hire. However, this means that every time my candidates are overlooked in favor of internal hires, I end up investing a significant amount of time without any payment—which can lead to entire months of work going unpaid.
What steps can I take to address this situation? Have others faced similar experiences, and how have you managed them? I’d love to hear your thoughts and insights.
