Possible mistake?
I have a background check with CISIVE coming up, and I just noticed that the resume they have on file isn’t quite right. While my job titles are accurate, the dates for one of my positions are incorrect. What should I do to resolve this? Should I reach out to them and provide an updated resume, or just leave it as is? Help! 🥲

Facing Challenges with Job Advert Access – Should I Advocate for Change?
Background:
I have spent the past three years working in agency recruitment. Initially, we had access to three single-use job advert slots each month; once they were utilized, they were gone. Our company’s website offers little in terms of attracting viable candidates, and on occasion, I could request an extra slot or two.
Recently, we’ve been given access to a reusable job slot on Indeed, which allows us to post and take down jobs as needed—but it rotates among team members, giving each of us one week (from Wednesday to Wednesday) to use it.
The Problem:
I’m experiencing an excellent quarter, achieving over €50k in billings against a €35k target. For the first time in a while, I feel optimistic about recruitment. However, management has recently eliminated all single-use job slots and taken away our access to CV databases. They’ve mentioned that more Indeed slots should be available soon, but there’s no clear timeline.
With the limited advert slots, I can only post jobs during the first week of the month, leaving me with nothing to promote for the remainder of the month. This situation puts me in a position of relying entirely on cold sourcing, which, while it’s part of the job, feels like an unnecessary obstacle. I believe that with better access to job postings and potential candidates, I could easily reach €80k–€100k in billings per quarter.
I’ve voiced my concerns to management, but they seem to brush them aside, offering only superficial reassurances during team meetings, even when multiple team members express similar frustrations.
Am I in the Wrong?
Should I advocate more forcefully for real improvements, or is this just something I have to accept? I want to enhance my performance—I want to contribute more revenue to the company and increase my earnings in the process. But if management isn’t willing to make changes, am I just wasting my efforts?
What does everyone think—should I fight for better resources or simply adapt to the current situation?
Thank you or No Thank You?
I just completed a second-round interview (yay!) with a company I’m really excited about. I had a great conversation with one of my potential future managers.
Now I have a question:
Since the meeting was set up by HR, I don’t have the manager’s email address. Should I connect on LinkedIn to express my gratitude, or is it better to stay quiet?
I appreciate your advice!
How Can My US Employer Pay Me Legally as a Remote Worker in the Philippines?
Hello everyone,
I’m a Filipino international student currently in the US, and my visa is about to expire soon. I plan to return to the Philippines next year, but my US employer is interested in continuing my employment remotely. They prefer not to establish a legal entity in the Philippines or engage a third-party payroll service and are looking for a straightforward and legal way to pay me directly.
I’m hoping to find a practical solution that requires minimal effort on their part. Here are some questions I’m considering:
If anyone has experience working remotely for a US company while residing in the Philippines, I’d really appreciate your insights on how you navigated this. Any advice would be incredibly helpful!
Thank you!
Exploring Lead Sourcing Opportunities
Hi everyone! I’m considering joining a software company that focuses on lead sourcing for recruiters by automating live job roles and outreach, along with optional AI email capabilities.
I have some experience in the recruitment industry, having worked in it previously, but I’ve been away for a few years. I’m curious to hear if anyone has thoughts on the value of products like this (I’m aware of options like Apollo). I’m torn about making the leap to join, as it feels a bit risky, but the product seems spot-on and they’ve developed some unique features to set themselves apart from the competition.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
How can I effectively sift through thousands of resumes?
I recently went through the challenging task of shortlisting resumes, and to be honest, I found my experience with tools like Rippling and Workable quite frustrating. Their basic filtration options fell short, and they lacked the ability to match skills or conduct industry-specific searches.
What’s the solution? I genuinely want to identify the right candidates, but I can’t face the overwhelming task of manually reviewing so many resumes, especially with the worry of overlooking an ideal candidate. Any tips?
