Where do I find Accountants?

Looking for Accountants in Berlin

I’m on the hunt for accountants in Berlin and have noticed they don’t seem very active on LinkedIn. It’s common for me to either get no responses or receive replies quite late.

Are there other platforms or communities where accountants are more engaged? I’d appreciate any recommendations! Thank you!

Leaving recruitment

Transitioning from Recruitment

I’m considering new opportunities beyond recruitment. After nearly ten years in this field, I feel it’s time for a change.

I’m interested in exploring roles in sales, account management, business development, and the like, particularly within tech, SaaS, and fintech companies.

If anyone has made a similar transition, I would love to hear about your experiences. What challenges did you face, and what advice can you share? Thank you!

Recruitment Agency Pain Points

Challenges in Working with Recruitment Agencies

Hello everyone,

I’m looking to gather insights on the top three challenges that private sector companies often encounter when collaborating with recruitment agencies.

One common issue I’ve noticed is receiving CVs from candidates who are clearly unqualified. I’m eager to hear what other significant pain points you all have experienced or observed.

Thanks in advance for your input!

Best profile summary you’ve read

What’s Your Favorite Profile Summary?
Instead of discussing the necessity of profile summaries in CVs, let’s focus on what truly stands out to recruiters. What kinds of summaries catch your attention? Can you recall a candidate whose summary was particularly effective? Share your thoughts!

Good recruitment agency course?

Looking for recommendations on a quality recruitment agency course.

I’ve seen that James Blackwell offers a course, but it’s priced at about $10,000.

I’m hoping to find something just as valuable but at a more affordable rate.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Business Development – CV Speccing

Business Development – CV Strategies

Are recruiters still using CVs to attract new clients? This approach was once quite effective for me, but I’ve noticed it hasn’t been producing results over the past year. As a professional in tech recruitment, I used to rely on the tried-and-true method of identifying strong CVs with the required skill sets and sending them to hiring managers, usually resulting in some interest from them.

What’s shifted in the landscape?

Indeed for recruiters

Seeking Advice on Indeed Registration

Hi everyone!

I’m excited to share that I recently launched my own recruitment agency and have landed my first client! 🎉

When I went to Indeed to post a job ad, I was informed that I need to be a registered business, which has restricted my account access.

Would registering as self-employed suffice, or would it be better to go all-in and set up a limited company?

Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

P.S. Why the downvotes? Just looking for some advice here! 😂

Heavy Civil Recruitment USA

Heavy Civil Recruitment in the USA

Hi everyone! I’ve been working in Heavy Civil construction recruitment for the past year and have seen some positive results. However, I’ve been managing everything on my own.

I’ve found that keeping my InMail messages concise—just 2 or 3 sentences including location, salary, and project size—works well for me.

I would love to hear any advice on how to scale my efforts or what elements you include in your outreach messages.

Also, any general tips would be appreciated! I built this desk from the ground up, so I’m still figuring out what works best. Thanks!
