How to Discuss Billings in Interviews and with Recruiters
Hey everyone!
I started my career with a recruitment agency right after university, and I’ve been with my current company for about a year now. I’m casually exploring new opportunities because I feel there’s a lack of direction at my current place. Each week feels random, with no clear training or structured plan, which I believe is crucial, especially when starting out.
I’ve had conversations with a few recruiters about potential moves, but the topic of billings often comes up. At my company, we don’t receive commissions until we’re promoted; instead, we earn a flat bonus for each placement. Only after promotion do we transition to a commission-based structure.
In my first year, I successfully made around 7-8 placements, a mix of permanent and contract roles. Since my promotion, I’ve completed approximately 10-12 contract placements. The challenge I’m facing is that these contract placements are recent, so the billings haven’t been realized yet. However, I do have a strong run rate for contractors.
How should I present my billings for the year to prospective employers? Should I include the standard percentage of the total placement fees I’ve contributed to this year, or should I focus solely on my current contract rates? Right now, it may seem like I haven’t achieved much this year on paper, even though I’ve successfully made placements. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, especially considering I’m in the UK! Thanks!

Choosing the Right Industry in London
Hi everyone,
I could use some guidance as I navigate my career path. I’ve spent nearly a decade in ad sales and most recently transitioned to the luxury property market in London. However, given the recent global events, that sector has hit a rough patch.
I know it may sound a bit disheartening, but I’m a realist and understand that at this stage in my mid-30s, I may not find a “dream job.” I’m more focused on opting for a role that I find interesting and that also offers a decent return for the effort I put in.
During my time at an ad tech sales firm, I consistently ranked among the top performers in our 10-person sales team, so I believe in my skills and potential.
I’m curious about the typical career progression for someone in my position, particularly without prior experience in recruitment. How quickly can one expect to advance within a company? Are there specific industries that stand out as worth exploring?
Thank you for any insights you can share!
Talent Acquisition Jobs in the UK
It’s clear that the current market for talent acquisition and internal recruitment is quite challenging for many of us.
The salary offerings are disappointing, with technical recruiters now earning around £25k—a figure that was nearly three times higher just last year!
Are others feeling the same way? Is anyone else on the lookout for new opportunities and noticing this trend?
Tips for Approaching Prospective Clients
Hello everyone,
I’m just starting out in recruiting and would love to hear your insights on how you usually connect with potential clients. We have a goal to onboard a specific number of new clients each quarter, but I haven’t had much success so far. I’m wondering if companies might be handling their recruitment internally or if the market is so crowded with recruiters that my outreach comes across as telemarketing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Curious About the Recruitment Process: My Unexpected Experience
Hello everyone,
I’m seeking some clarity regarding my recent experience with a recruitment process, as I’m a bit puzzled about what’s happening.
I applied for two roles at a remote company. I received a rejection for one the very next day, but thankfully, I was invited for an interview for the second position, which I was excited about.
I went through three interviews, including a significant presentation that required a lot of time and research on my part. The last interview took place two weeks ago, and I felt it went reasonably well. I noticed that the hiring manager mentioned they were having difficulties with their recruitment, which I thought might work in my favor. During that interview, they told me to expect feedback by the end of last week, as there were still a few candidates to interview. That was perfectly fine with me.
Fast forward a week and a half, and I decided to send a polite follow-up email to the in-house recruiter, curious about when I might hear back. I noticed they were posting a lot of new job listings, which made me think they might be quite busy. Unfortunately, I didn’t receive a response. To top it off, the job advertisement I applied for was taken down shortly after, either just before or after my email.
Feeling a bit frustrated by the lack of communication, I reached out again yesterday, this time addressing the recruiter and the two managers I had interacted with throughout the process. It was a lengthy but polite email inquiring about an update and expressing my need for clarity since I was waiting on other job offers. I apologized for the follow-up, but my frustration was growing.
Still, no replies from any of the three recipients.
Then, late last night, I noticed that the job listing was reposted, albeit with a slightly altered title but otherwise identical.
Can anyone shed some light on this situation?
If I wasn’t selected, why not just send a rejection email? They appear to be using an applicant tracking system, so it shouldn’t be complicated.
If I was selected, what’s with the delay and the reposting of the position?
And if there’s something else going on, why no response from any of the three individuals I contacted?
I need assistance! I’m landing interviews but struggling to turn them into job offers.
What could I be doing wrong?
