Agency Follow-ups
I began my accounting position nearly 8 weeks ago, and I got the job through a recruitment agency. The agent who placed me has reached out several times to see how things are going. I’m just wondering what their motivation is for checking in on me so frequently.

I’m reaching out to gather your insights on creating a streamlined recruitment tech stack for our caregiving agency, which has a varied hiring landscape. We focus on both specialized roles (similar to LinkedIn-style recruitment) and high-volume positions like caregivers and housekeeping staff. Our main objective is to automate significant aspects of our recruitment process, particularly by harnessing AI for calls and follow-up tasks.

How can automation benefit you?
Recruiting involves numerous time-consuming tasks such as scanning resumes, arranging interviews, and keeping in touch with candidates. While automation tools currently assist with some of these processes, there are still gaps. What’s one task you wish could be automated but isn’t possible yet?
Anticipating a response…
When you’re promised an update on a specific day, but that day comes and goes without any news, would you typically assume you didn’t get the job?
Title: Transitioning from Recruiter to BDM
Hi everyone,
I’d love to connect with UK-based Recruiters who have successfully transitioned into full-time Business Development Manager (BDM) roles, whether in recruitment or other fields.
I’m curious to hear about your journey. Was the shift a positive experience? Do you have any tips for someone considering making this move in the future?
Thanks for sharing!
Request for Feedback on New Recruitment CRM and ATS
Hello everyone,
My team and I are excited to share that we are in the process of developing a new recruitment tool, and we’re about to launch the first phase. We would love to get your input!
To give you an overview, our app is primarily a recruitment CRM, with plans to integrate an applicant tracking system (ATS) shortly after launch. Our main goal is to create a user-friendly platform that can be easily accessed on mobile devices, though it won’t be a traditional phone app. In the next phase, we aim to incorporate features for managing temporary and contract workers, including timesheet submissions for approval. Once we have these core functionalities in place, we’ll turn our focus to automation.
Having worked as a contractor with numerous recruitment agencies, I’ve often been surprised by the outdated and overly complex systems they use, frequently facing downtimes. This inspired the development of our app.
We plan to target smaller agencies initially, with the goal of expanding to larger organizations as we roll out complex reporting features. We’re considering offering a three-month trial period, with a pricing structure around $40 USD per user (final pricing TBD).
We would greatly appreciate your thoughts on the following:
1. Is there interest in a tool like this?
2. Does our pricing model seem appropriate?
Thank you for your feedback!
Recruitment Agency Franchisee Inquiry
Has anyone here acquired a franchise from a well-known recruitment agency? I’m referring to the model where you pay an upfront fee to start the franchise. The company shares job openings with you, and you’re responsible for sourcing candidates using job portals and databases they provide. If you successfully fill a position, there’s typically a 50/50 revenue split between you and the company.
I’m curious if this model is viable for working from home. What are your thoughts?
Mis procesos de reclutamiento se han vuelto desafiantes, aunque en realidad no deberían serlo. Soy de Perú y actualmente trabajo en una pequeña empresa que necesita estibadores, despachadores y recepcionistas. Reclutar para algunos puestos fuera de la capital ha sido más fácil debido al mayor número de postulantes. Sin embargo, en el último mes, he notado que, por ejemplo, en los últimos dos días solo han postulado 3-4 personas, y ninguna cumple con el perfil requerido. Además, aunque recibí 3 candidatos prometedores a través de la última publicación en la ATS (Computrabajo), ninguno se presentó a la entrevista programada.
He mantenido la misma estrategia de comunicación que usé en otras empresas donde no enfrenté tantas dificultades. Me pregunto si hay algo más que podría hacer, o si tal vez hay maneras de atraer a más candidatos de las que no estoy al tanto. He estado utilizando las cuentas gratuitas de Indeed y Bumeran como apoyo, y también he compartido anuncios de empleo en grupos de Facebook, que es algo común. A pesar de estas últimas iniciativas, apenas he generado candidatos, si es que he conseguido alguno.
¿Alguno de ustedes ha enfrentado una situación similar o tiene ideas sobre cómo aumentar la cantidad de postulantes? Siento que estoy poniendo mucho esfuerzo, pero parece que no produce resultados. También me preocupa que mi supervisor no logre entender por qué no puedo integrar a un nuevo empleado en 2-4 días, considerando que las funciones a cubrir son pocas. He intentado explorar bolsas de trabajo menos conocidas y también la del ministerio de trabajo, pero no he tenido éxito. No sé si se trata de mala suerte o si simplemente he perdido la habilidad en mi trabajo.
Seeking Advice on Business Internships
As a second-year student in a competitive business program in Canada, I’ve been struggling to secure a summer internship this year. While I understand that target schools often offer better networking opportunities, I feel that these connections have their limits. I’m hoping to gain more insights and advice on navigating the recruitment process. I believe sharing this experience could benefit other business students facing similar challenges! Thank you in advance for your support!
As we approach the end of 2024, I’d love to hear about the recruitment platforms you’ve been using! Let’s share our go-to tools and resources for work and sourcing. Personally, I’ve had success with RocketDevs, Upwork, and Fiverr. What about you?
