Need Advice: Should I Accept This Job Offer?

Hi everyone,

I’m currently a Senior Recruitment Consultant at a general agency where I’ve worked for the past three years. I genuinely enjoy my team and have a good relationship with the managing director, which is a plus. However, the company’s environment can be quite frustrating at times.

Recently, I’ve been working remotely due to road closures, saving around £300 a month on transportation. The new job I’m considering would require me to commute to the office daily, approximately 35 minutes away, compared to my current commute of 45 minutes to an hour.

My current base salary is £27,000, and I earned £50,000 last year with commission, working with fees capped at 15%. I’ve received an offer from a startup executive search firm that has solid financial backing. They’re offering a base of £30,000 plus commission, but their fee structures are higher at 20%+. However, their commission thresholds are tougher to reach compared to my current role.

The new team has made a real effort to recruit me, even taking me out for meals, and they promise potential for career growth and better earning opportunities. Yet, I’m feeling anxious about leaving my current job, especially given the current economic climate in the UK and my mortgage obligations.

My current company has supported me in achieving my goals, like buying my dream home and car, and has been there for me through some health challenges.

I’d really appreciate any advice or insights you might have! Normally, I’d turn to colleagues for guidance, but I can’t this time, and my partner has left the decision up to me. Thanks in advance!

Choosing the agency to work for

Deciding on the Right Recruitment Agency

Hello everyone, I’m using a throwaway account for privacy.

I’m currently exploring a career switch from sales/business development in physical products to recruitment. Recently, I’ve applied to several agencies and now have offers for the associate consultant position at both Michael Page and Robert Walters.

I would love to hear your thoughts on what criteria or factors I should consider when choosing between the two agencies before I make my decision.

Additionally, if you have any insights or experiences to share regarding either firm, I would be very grateful. Thank you!

Moving agency to in house

Transitioning from Agency to In-House Recruitment

Hello everyone,

After spending two years at an agency in London, I’m looking to make the shift to in-house recruitment. While I appreciate my current company, the pressure of constant targets and a low base salary is taking a toll on my mental health and personal relationships.

I’m curious about the best strategies for breaking into in-house talent acquisition. Considering my experience, do you think two years is sufficient to make this transition? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Automatic application of my candidates

Automated Job Applications for My Candidates

I’m considering creating a tool that automates the application process for job openings that align with my candidates’ profiles.

This tool would anonymize resumes and profile descriptions while including a link to my contact information. I believe this approach could significantly boost my outreach efforts.

What are your thoughts? Do you think this could be an effective strategy?

Hate my job – sales?

Frustrated with My Job in Recruitment

Hi everyone!

I’ve been working as a 180 recruiter since graduating a few months ago, and I really dislike it. Sourcing candidates, especially when I’m expected to find 10 individuals with 10 years of experience for just $20k in a small town, is incredibly frustrating. My manager and the whole environment add to my dissatisfaction.

On the bright side, I thoroughly enjoy the phone conversations—persuading candidates to accept offers and negotiating is what I love most about this role.

Recently, I’ve been offered a Business Development Manager position at a local marketing agency, and I’m considering making the leap.

So, I’m wondering: Has anyone here transitioned from recruitment or sourcing to sales? How was your experience?

Tech Recruitment support needed (Help a new business)

Seeking Tech Recruitment Insights for a New Business

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out for your support as I navigate the early stages of my business, which has been operating for about a year now.

Having worked solo until recently, I’m finding it challenging to keep up with the evolving industry trends. I would greatly appreciate it if you could share some general statistics or key performance indicators (KPIs) related to acquiring new clients.

For instance, what are your benchmarks for outreach activities? Something like:

• Sending 250 emails per week
• Making 200 calls per week
• Conducting 1 mass spec per week

How do these efforts translate into new client acquisitions? Just an example, but I’m eager to understand the metrics that can help me better define my personal targets.

Thank you so much for your assistance! Your insights will be invaluable.
