Anticipating a response… If you were informed that you’d receive an update on a specific day, but that day comes and goes without any word, would you typically conclude that you haven’t been selected for the job?

Hi everyone,
I’d love to hear from UK-based recruiters who have successfully transitioned into full-time Business Development Manager positions, whether in recruitment or other fields.
I’m eager to learn about your experiences. Was the change beneficial for you? What advice would you offer to someone considering this path in the future?
Thank you in advance for your insights!
Seeking advice on apetite for new recruitment CRM and ATM
Looking for Feedback on Our New Recruitment CRM and ATM
Hello everyone!
My team and I are excited to share that we are in the final stages of developing a new recruitment tool, and we would love to hear your thoughts!
Our app will primarily function as a recruitment CRM, with an Applicant Tracking Module (ATM) set to launch shortly after. We are prioritizing simplicity and ensuring that users can access the app easily on their mobile devices (not just a mobile app). In later phases, we plan to introduce features to help manage temporary and contract workers, including timesheet submissions for approval. Once we have these core functionalities in place, we will shift our focus towards automation.
Having worked with numerous recruitment agencies in the past, I have often been taken aback by the complexity and outdated nature of the systems they used (not to mention frequent downtimes). This experience sparked the idea for our app.
Initially, we plan to target smaller agencies, gradually expanding to larger ones as we develop more advanced reporting capabilities. We’re considering a three-month trial period, with a potential pricing structure around (TBD) $40 per user per month.
We would love your insight: Is there a demand for such an app? Does the proposed pricing sound reasonable? Thank you for your input!
Recruitment agency franchisee
Recruitment Agency Franchise Opportunity
Has anyone here invested in a franchise with a well-known recruitment agency? I’m particularly interested in the model where you pay an initial fee to obtain the franchise. In this setup, the company provides information about job openings, and you’re responsible for sourcing candidates through various job portals and databases provided by the company. If you successfully fill a position, there’s a revenue-sharing arrangement, typically around 50/50 between you and the company.
Do you think this is a viable option for working from home? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Mis procesos de reclutamiento se volvieron difíciles sin serlo realmente.
Mis procesos de reclutamiento se han vuelto mucho más complicados de lo que deberían ser. Soy de Perú y trabajo en una pequeña empresa que necesita estibadores, despachadores y recepcionistas. He notado que reclutar para puestos fuera de la capital ha sido más sencillo gracias al mayor número de postulantes. Sin embargo, en el último mes, solo he recibido 3-4 candidaturas en los últimos dos días, y lamentablemente, ninguno cumplía con el perfil requerido. A pesar de haber obtenido 3 candidatos interesantes a través de la publicación en la ATS de Computrabajo, ninguno se presentó a la entrevista programada.
He mantenido la misma estrategia de comunicación que utilizaba en otras empresas donde no tuve problemas para encontrar candidatos. ¿Estoy haciendo algo mal? ¿Existen métodos más efectivos para atraer a un mayor número de postulantes que no conozco? He estado utilizando las versiones gratuitas de Indeed y Bumeran como apoyo, y también he compartido anuncios en grupos de Facebook, como suele hacer la mayoría. Sin embargo, estas estrategias apenas han generado postulaciones, si es que alguna.
¿A alguien más le ha pasado algo similar o sabe de alguna técnica más efectiva para incrementar el volumen de candidatos? Siento que me estoy esforzando, pero el trabajo parece ser en vano. Y no es fácil hacer entender a un jefe que, aunque haya pocas funciones, integrar a un nuevo empleado en 2-4 días no es siempre posible. Además, he explorado bolsas de trabajo menos conocidas y la del Ministerio de Trabajo, pero sin éxito. No sé si es mala suerte o si he perdido la habilidad para reclutar.
Business Internships
Business Internships
As a second-year student enrolled in a prestigious business program in Canada, I’ve been struggling to secure a summer internship this year. While I understand that target schools usually offer better networking prospects, I feel that those opportunities only go so far. I’m eager to gather insights and advice on navigating the recruitment process. I hope my experience can also benefit other business students facing similar challenges!

Which platforms did you rely on for recruiting in 2024?
As the year wraps up, I think it’s important for us to share the platforms and key tools we’ve utilized for work and sourcing. Personally, I’ve had good experiences with RocketDevs, Upwork, and Fiverr. What about you all?

Reviews of Woo.io?
Has anyone tried Woo.io? My agency is currently considering it for automatic updates of ATS data. It sounds almost too good to be true—what’s the real scoop? I’d love to hear about your experiences!
State of the market or fickle agencies?
Market Conditions or Unreliable Agencies?
Hey everyone, I’ve recently been laid off from my previous position at a small niche agency with a team of around six people. I’m actively searching for a new opportunity in the same field and have interviewed with about 7 or 8 different companies. One of them has even brought me in for five interviews for a single role.
So far, I’ve received only 1-2 formal rejections. For the most part, I’ve completed interviews and then heard nothing in return. A few of these opportunities came from recruitment-to-recruitment agencies, yet I’ve had no feedback from them either.
Do you think this is a reflection of the current market conditions, or am I just encountering the wrong types of agencies?
