Beginning a Career in Recruitment
I’m eager to break into the recruitment field. While I don’t have any direct experience in recruitment, I bring a strong background in sales, marketing, and business development. My goal is to focus on renewable energy or ESG sectors.
I would greatly appreciate any advice on essential software or general tips for getting started. I’m also open to hiring someone to mentor me in this transition. Thank you!
Seeking Assistance for Sourcing Candidates for Interviews
I’m looking for guidance on how to effectively source mid-level candidates (3+ years of experience) for Sales and Business Development positions in the Telecom sector in Germany. My experience with sourcing candidates for commercial roles is limited, and I currently don’t have access to LinkedIn Recruiter or paid job platforms. What strategies should I consider? Are there specific tools or websites that could aid in my search? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
I’ve developed an AI tool designed to efficiently process thousands of CVs and conduct pre-screening interviews.
Many of my connections on LinkedIn express a desire for feedback on every job application, while my recruiting colleagues often find it challenging due to the sheer volume of CVs they receive for each position.
Imagine having a customizable AI tool that can:
– Perform initial pre-screening interviews before applications are submitted, helping to filter candidates based on essential criteria.
– Analyze hundreds of CVs by matching them against detailed job descriptions and comprehensive requirements.
– Offer customizable filtering options, such as location, job type, skills, and experience, to tailor the recruitment process to specific needs.
I’ve built a proof of concept that I truly believe functions exceptionally well!

I’d love to hear your thoughts and any concerns you might have about implementing a tool like this!

Tips for Meeting with a Recruiter
I’m targeting my next job with a minimum salary of £35,000. However, during a recent phone conversation with a recruiter, they suggested that I might consider accepting a salary of £28,000 to £29,000 if the company offers training.
How can I effectively communicate that my minimum salary expectation is £35,000? I might entertain offers in the range of £32,000 to £34,000 for positions that include strong training opportunities, but I want to make my stance clear.
I’m looking to ensure that our in-person meeting is productive and doesn’t devolve into a low-ball negotiation. Any advice?
“What’s your preference: Team Cat or Team Dog?”
The other night, a door-to-door salesperson showed up at my place.
As soon as I opened the door, I noticed his jacket, the badge with his photo, and the clipboard he was clutching. I realized my chance to get back to my FIFA game before the pause menu expired was slipping away.
Here’s how his pitch unfolded:
What struck me was that, as a Sales/BD coach who sells every day, I nearly offered him a glimmer of hope by agreeing to a follow-up.
I had to fight the urge to do so.
Essentially, he was looking to set up a meeting, and I was ready to ghost him or attend with zero intention of buying. Sound familiar?
Had he taken the hint early on, we could have avoided those awkward minutes of conversation in the first ten seconds.
Remember, you won’t persuade someone who isn’t interested to make a purchase. It’s best to exit the conversation and remove them from your sales funnel as quickly as possible. The same applies to presenting job opportunities to candidates.
And if your current employer encourages this kind of behavior with unrealistic KPIs, it might be time to consider a new job.
