Auditor to Recruiter

Subject: Transitioning from Auditor to Recruiter

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to make a career shift from my current role as an auditor to a recruiter specializing in finance and accounting positions. I hold a CPA designation and have experience with one of the Big 4 firms, as well as some time in the industry.

I’ve received an opportunity from a friend who runs a recruitment agency, but there’s a condition: I need to bring in my own client. Since I don’t have a sales background, I’m unsure how to generate leads.

I would appreciate any insights or tips from those who have successfully transitioned into recruitment. Thank you!

Help Needed: Navigating a Confusing Recruitment Process!

Hi everyone,

I recently joined the company as a recruitment and training development specialist, and I’ve only had about four months of recruitment experience across both a manpower agency and a BPO. However, I find our current recruitment process to be incredibly confusing and lacking in structure.

I’m eager to address the existing challenges and propose some improvements, but I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed. Here’s a brief overview of our current recruitment process:

For Rank-and-File/Managerial/Supervisory Positions:
1. Job Posting
2. Screening and Shortlisting
3. Assessment: Includes personality tests, SSCT, situational judgment, verbal ability, numerical estimation, practical EQ self-assessment, and a work inventory.
4. Initial Interview (with the recruiter)
5. Second Interview (with an HR Generalist)
6. Third Interview (with an HR Consultant) – It’s recommended that the department head be involved, but this is still tentative.
7. Final Interview (with the COO)

(I’ve experienced this process firsthand, excluding the final interview, and it feels excruciating! Repeating the same answers to different interviewers is exhausting.)

For Truck Helpers/Drivers:
1. Assessment: Personality and Sentence Completion
2. Initial Interview (with the recruiter)
3. Final Interview (with their immediate supervisor)

I genuinely believe we can streamline this process, but I’m unsure how to proceed. If anyone has insights or suggestions on how I can help restructure our recruitment workflow, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you for taking the time to read this—I’m really looking forward to your advice!

BrassRing/Lever ATS experience

Experience with BrassRing and Lever ATS

I’m currently consulting for a mid-sized food and beverage company that hires around 1000 to 1500 employees annually. They’re not using an ATS at the moment and are exploring a couple of options, specifically BrassRing and Lever.

Does anyone have information on BrassRing’s pricing? I find Lever to be more transparent with their costs, and I’m not really looking to go through the sales demo process just yet. Any insights would be appreciated!

BD Data

BD Data Request

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations for a free or very affordable tool to help me find client phone numbers and email addresses.

Ideally, I’d love to find something that allows me to upload contacts from LinkedIn directly to Bullhorn.

I’ve heard of Lusha, but since my company isn’t covering the costs, I may need to find a solution on my own.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

UK Recruitment Market

UK Recruitment Market

Hello everyone! I’d love to get your insights on the current state of the recruitment market in the UK. I’ve been in the recruitment industry for almost five years, and I’ve been self-employed for just over a year. My first year was quite positive, but strangely, my second year has been slow and low. I’m curious if the market is still facing challenges. I’ve come across recent news articles discussing a potential recession, and I’ve spoken with several contacts who are also struggling to secure new roles, whether for junior positions or senior executives. I would appreciate any feedback or thoughts you may have.

Thank you! 🙂

Is it appropriate to follow up with an email after a first interview to thank the panel for their time and provide additional details on some of your responses?
