Recruiting as an active

Feeling a bit unprepared for recruiting in a few days. Our head of recruitment hasn’t been the most effective at sharing information or staying organized, and I’m concerned about potentially making mistakes or saying the wrong thing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Applying to your own role

Considering applying for your own position

This might sound like an odd question, but if you were an agency recruiter and found a role that you felt genuinely qualified for and interested in, would it be acceptable for you to submit your own CV for consideration?

Are recruiters getting worse at sales in your team as well?

Are recruiters in your team struggling with sales too?

I’m interested to know! I’ve been in the tech market for a decade now, and while I understand the current market is challenging, I’m wondering if others are finding it harder to sell.

At my workplace, the first four hours are eerily quiet, with everyone focused on crafting their emails. In the afternoon, we might make a few calls, but we’re all working in very niche markets.

I recall a time at a previous company where the environment was completely different—50 cold calls a day and a loud, competitive atmosphere. It was intense but productive.

I’ve spoken to a few folks, and it seems that many companies have shifted to a more hushed, library-like approach to recruitment because some staff become uncomfortable with pressure.

Is that true in your organization? If not, what’s your experience like?

I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Are Recruiters Leveraging AI for LinkedIn Automation?

Hi everyone,

I’m interested to hear how many of you are incorporating AI and automation tools into your recruitment strategies, particularly with LinkedIn. With the buzz surrounding AI’s potential to revolutionize various industries, I’m curious if it’s influencing our daily tasks like candidate sourcing and engagement.

Are any of you utilizing AI-driven software for automating LinkedIn outreach, candidate sourcing, or screening? If so, which tools are you using, and how have they affected your workflow? Have you experienced a noticeable increase in efficiency, or faced any challenges along the way?

I’d love to learn about specific AI tools that have made a significant impact for you. Additionally, how do you ensure a personal touch in your communications with potential candidates while relying on automation?

One platform that’s popular here in the Netherlands is SourceGeek.

I’m eager to hear your insights and any suggestions you may have!

Thanks!

How to actually stand out in job postings and to recruiters? What’s actually working in these ATS systems?

How can you truly differentiate yourself in job postings and appeal to recruiters? What really functions in today’s ATS systems?

Is it essential to limit your resume to just one page? Should you include a summary at the top? Is using a two-column layout going to hurt your chances?

What’s the best approach to customize resumes for each job application?

I’ve observed many people facing challenges and experimenting with different strategies; the process often seems subjective. I’d love to hear what’s genuinely effective for others and what recruiters are actually considering!

BD Techniques

Business Development Strategies

I’m looking for advice on business development strategies as I recently joined a new company as a finance specialist, where BD is a key focus.
