Will a recruitment agency disclose my application?
Hi, recruiters. I made the mistake of applying for a job through the recruitment agency that my current boss uses for hiring. I’m worried—will they inform my boss about my application? Is there some kind of confidentiality policy that agencies follow?
Streamlining Resume Reviews with AI
Hello, everyone!
Recently, we’ve been overwhelmed by the sheer volume of resumes we receive for each open position on LinkedIn and Indeed. Managing this influx has become quite challenging for our small team, and outsourcing solutions have proven to be quite costly. Since we work in the AI sector, we decided to develop an in-house tool using the OpenAI API to streamline the process.
The solution we created is straightforward. First, we upload the job description, which GPT analyzes to generate specific criteria. Next, we input the resumes and allow GPT to evaluate them based on those criteria, calculating a total score that helps us create a shortlist.
So far, we’ve found this tool to be incredibly helpful. GPT’s detailed analysis even offers brief summaries of candidates, giving us valuable insights. As a result, we’re considering launching this tool as a standalone project.
We plan to make it public soon, and I’d love to know if others would find this useful!
Also, would it be alright to share the tool here once it’s ready?
I could really use your advice.
I’m feeling uncertain about accepting a job offer. I’ve been a Senior Recruitment Consultant at my current generalist agency for three years. I enjoy working with my colleagues and have a good relationship with the MD, although there are definitely times when the company can be quite frustrating.
Lately, I’ve been working remotely due to road closures, which has saved me around £300 a month on transportation costs. The new job would require me to be in the office every day, which is about a 35-minute commute, compared to my current 45-minute to 1-hour journey.
My current salary is £27,000, and I earned £50,000 last year through commissions, which typically max out at 15%. I’ve received an offer from a startup executive search firm that has full financial backing, paying £30,000 plus commission. However, while their fee sizes are around 20% and higher, their commission structure is less favorable, with higher thresholds to reach the better commission levels.
The new company has made a strong effort to recruit me, taking me out for meals and promising career advancement and financial opportunities. However, I’m hesitant to leave my current job, especially given the current economic climate in the UK and the fact that I have a mortgage to consider.
My current employer has supported me in achieving my dream of homeownership and has stood by me through personal health challenges.
If anyone has any insights or experiences to share, I would greatly appreciate it. Typically, I’d seek advice from someone in my industry, but I can’t do that this time. My partner has left the decision up to me, and I want to make the right choice. Thank you!
Choosing the Right Recruitment Agency to Work For
Hey everyone, I’m using a throwaway account for privacy.
I’ve been looking to shift my career from sales and business development in a physical product environment to recruiting, and I’ve started applying for positions as an associate consultant at several recruitment agencies. I’m excited to share that I’ve received offers from both Michael Page and Robert Walters for the associate consultant role.
I’m reaching out to see what criteria or key factors I should consider before making my decision on which agency to join and sign a contract with.
If you have any insights or experiences with either of these firms, I would greatly appreciate your input. Thank you!

Transitioning from Agency to In-House Recruitment
Hello everyone,
After two years working in an agency in London, I’ve come to appreciate my company and my experiences. However, I’m eager to make the switch to an in-house role. Despite achieving decent results, the ongoing targets and modest base salary have begun to take a toll on my mental health and personal relationships.
I’m curious about the best approach to transitioning into in-house talent acquisition. Is two years of agency experience sufficient to make this leap? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!
Automated Job Applications for My Candidates
I’m considering creating a tool that automatically submits applications for job openings that align with my candidates’ profiles.
The tool would anonymize CVs and descriptions while including a link to my contact information. I believe this could significantly boost my outreach efforts.
What are your thoughts? Do you think this would be effective?
