Recruitment software suggests & opinions?

Thoughts on Recruitment Software?

Hello everyone,

I’m getting ready to launch my own recruitment company in the UK and am considering a few software options. I’d love to hear your experiences with the following programs:

  • LinkedIn Sales Navigator (an obvious choice)
  • LeadLeaper
  • NeverBounce
  • AllPro CRM or Zoho (having trouble choosing between the two)

Do you have any feedback on these tools or any other recommendations?

Thanks in advance!

Contract vs Perm – Profit

Contract vs. Permanent – Profit Discussion

Hello everyone,

My colleague and I are in a heated debate and could use some insights.

Here’s the scenario: we have a consultant billing £400k annually on a freelance basis compared to another consultant earning £200k as a permanent employee.

Which consultant is generating more profit for the business?

Historically, our company set incentive targets at ‘x’ for freelancers and 50% of ‘x’ for permanent staff. However, the policy has recently changed to align the targets, leading to permanent consultants competing against freelancers who have less experience.

For context, freelancers and permanent staff operate under different management structures in each region.

Business leaders, we would love to hear your thoughts on this!

Using an 07 number vs an 01 number.

Choosing between using a 07 number and an 01 number for contacting candidates and clients. What do you think is the best option? I’m considering getting a separate SIM card for a mobile number. Do you think this approach would come off as unprofessional? I’d love to hear your recommendations!

I’d love to gather some thoughts on recruitment marketing.

What’s our current stance on it?

While personal branding is essential, does company marketing still hold significance?

Low candidate reply rate in the Netherlands (need help)

Struggling with Low Candidate Response Rates in the Netherlands

Hello everyone! I’m currently navigating a candidate-driven market in the Netherlands where there’s a notable scarcity of talent. Despite my proficiency with sourcing and crafting Boolean strings, I’m finding it challenging to elicit responses from candidates on LinkedIn.

I’ve successfully acquired clients through email campaigns, but when it comes to initiating conversations, I often hit a wall. Many candidates appear to meet job requirements, yet their profiles lack insights into their aspirations or motivations, making it tough to engage them meaningfully.

How do you typically approach starting conversations with candidates on LinkedIn?

P.S. I’m open to collaborating on a split-fee commission with other recruiters in the Netherlands.

Planning on Sunday and basics

Sunday Planning and Recruitment Basics

Hey everyone,

I have a two-part question for you all. I’ve often heard recruiters emphasize the importance of mastering the fundamentals to achieve success. As I’m in education recruitment, I’m curious to know what you all consider the “basics.” If you had to list them, what would they be?

Additionally, I’ve noticed that many recruiters dedicate Sundays to planning. If anyone could share their Sunday planning template or outline their routine for staying ahead of the competition, I would really appreciate it! Thanks!
