I’m gearing up to launch my own recruitment company in the UK and I’m considering a few software options. I’d love to hear any experiences you might have with the following:

Contract vs. Permanent: Profit Discussion
Hello everyone,
My colleague and I are having a spirited debate and would love your input.
We’re comparing two consultants: one billing £400k annually as a freelancer and another billing £200k annually as a permanent employee.
The question is: who is generating more profit for the business?
Historically, our incentive targets were set at “x” for freelancers and 50% of “x” for permanent employees. Recently, they’ve been adjusted to be equal, which means that permanent consultants are now competing against freelancers who may be less experienced.
It’s important to note that freelancing and permanent roles are handled separately in our company, each with its own line management structure across regions.
Business owners, we’d appreciate your insights! What are your thoughts?
How do low grades impact job prospects for a 3D prop artist? I find myself with mostly Cs.
Using a 07 number versus a 01 number:
Hi everyone, I’m considering which option is best for reaching out to candidates and clients. I’m thinking about getting a separate SIM card for a mobile number. What do you all recommend? Would this come across as unprofessional?
Introducing a Free Chrome Extension for Exporting LinkedIn Searches!
As part of a comprehensive solution, I’ve developed a Chrome extension that allows users to export LinkedIn searches. This tool is compatible with LinkedIn Recruiter, Recruiter Lite, and Sales Navigator, efficiently paginating through various results pages to extract and export profile links. Additionally, it ensures that these profile links can be utilized by other tools, such as automation and data enrichment platforms.
I’m excited to offer this feature for free and would love to know if anyone is interested in gaining access. If so, just let me know, and I’ll be happy to provide the link!
Exploring Recruitment Marketing
I’m eager to gather some thoughts on recruitment marketing!
What’s your perspective on it?
While personal branding is essential, does company marketing still hold value in this space?
If a company were to manage your marketing efforts, with your consent, would that be something you’d find attractive?
Looking forward to your insights! Thank you!
Subject: Struggling with Low Candidate Response Rates in the Netherlands – Any Advice?
Hi everyone!
I’m currently facing challenges in the Dutch job market, which is quite candidate-driven and has a limited pool of talent. Despite my ability to effectively source candidates using boolean strings and successfully engaging clients through email campaigns, I find it difficult to get responses on LinkedIn.
Often, candidates seem to align with the job requirements, but their profiles lack information about their career aspirations or interests. This makes it challenging to know how to initiate a conversation.
I’d love to hear how you all approach your outreach on LinkedIn to spark engagement.
Also, to my fellow recruiters in the Netherlands, I’m open to collaboration on a split-fee basis.
Thanks in advance for your insights!

Affordable or Free Tools for Independent Recruiters: Alternatives to SourceWhale
As I embark on my journey as an independent recruiter, budget constraints are a concern. I’m looking for software that can scrape LinkedIn profiles and facilitate email campaigns, similar to SourceWhale. However, I need options that are either very low-cost or free. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Sunday Planning and Recruitment Fundamentals
Hey everyone,
I have a two-part question I frequently come across. Many recruiters emphasize the importance of mastering the basics to achieve success. As someone in education recruitment, I’m curious—what do you consider the essential basics? If you could list them, what would they be?
Additionally, I’ve noticed that a lot of recruiters take the time to plan on Sundays. Could someone share their Sunday planning template or outline what they do to stay ahead of the competition? Thanks!
