What exactly is Jobma? I’ve been hearing this term lately in conversations about hiring and recruitment. Can anyone clarify what Jobma is? Is it a platform, a tool, or something different? How does it relate to the job search and hiring processes? I would love to hear any insights or personal experiences you have with Jobma!
Trainee Recruiter Seeking Advice
Hey everyone!
I’m currently a trainee recruiter at a locum healthcare recruitment agency, where about 90% of our clients are from the NHS. I’ve just wrapped up my first month and I’m excited to share that I secured three deals! I jumped into business development without formal training and managed to arrange a client meeting.
Here are the compensation details: my basic annual salary is £27,000, and I earn a commission of 12.5% starting from £4,500 billed per week. If I reach billing of £10,000 per week, my commission rate increases to 20%, and my base salary rises to £32,000. If I can hit £15,000 in weekly billing, my base salary could go up to £50,000 at that same commission rate.
If I manage to bill £780,000, I would be looking at a gross payment of £206,000, which includes my base salary.
Do you think this is fair? Should I focus on building my personal brand in this role, or consider moving to a different industry for recruitment? I’d appreciate any insights or advice! Thank you!

I would love to hear your thoughts on this issue. Any feedback on the concept itself would also be greatly appreciated!
Thoughts on Cover Letters
For those in hiring positions, do you give preference to candidates who include well-crafted cover letters with their resumes?
Addressing the “Why not just hire someone directly?” Objection
Background: After years of experience in the legal field, I’m excited to launch a legal staffing agency aimed at assisting law firms that want to grow their teams flexibly with contracted attorneys and paralegals.
A common question I encounter is, “This sounds fantastic, but why shouldn’t I just go on Indeed and hire a 1099 attorney myself for a lower cost?”
Here’s an effective response to this objection:
While it may seem easier to hire directly from platforms like Indeed, partnering with my staffing agency offers several key advantages that can save you time and resources.
Expertise in Legal Staffing: I specialize in understanding the unique needs of law firms and can identify candidates who not only have the right qualifications but also match your firm’s culture and values.
Time Efficiency: The hiring process can be time-consuming and complex. We handle the screening, interviewing, and vetting processes, which allows you to focus on running your firm.
Quality Assurance: Our agency conducts thorough background checks and assessments, ensuring that you get top-tier professionals who can immediately contribute to your practice.
Flexibility: We provide tailored solutions based on your workload, so you can scale your team up or down as needed without the long-term commitment of direct hiring.
Compliance and Risk Management: We manage all necessary legal paperwork, ensuring compliance with employment laws and minimizing your risk.
Ultimately, working with my agency allows you to access a wider pool of talent while ensuring a streamlined hiring process, all tailored to meet the specific demands of your practice. Let’s discuss how we can support your growth effectively!
