UK Recruitment – Registered Nurses UK

UK Recruitment – Registered Nurses

Hello everyone,

With my background in technical recruitment, I’m well aware of how challenging the current job market is in the UK.

I’ve made the decision to go independent and launch my own agency focused on placing Registered Nurses in specific regions across the UK.

I’d appreciate your insights on a few things:

  1. What are the best platforms for sourcing candidates with NMC Pins? I’m considering TikTok for this niche.
  2. Are there any websites where I can purchase Care Home contact databases?
  3. Which CV library do you recommend as the most effective? (I’m looking at options like Indeed, among others.)

Thank you in advance for your help!

CRMs are really shady…..

CRMs are quite questionable…

Having some experience in the tech world, I’ve been experimenting with building my own data lake/CRM. To my surprise, the process has been fairly straightforward, and I’ve uncovered some intriguing insights along the way.

I’ve noticed that almost every CRM I’ve explored has various proxies for data backup functionalities. Are you sure you’re not inadvertently sharing updated emails, phone numbers, salaries, and CVs with the big players?

By the way, greetings from Bulgaria!

Consider this: given how often recruiters fall short—especially those at larger firms—it makes you wonder about that seemingly flawless CRM. Hmmm.

New job has a 20% dropout rate in training period. Is this high?

I’ve started a new job in a technical service position at a financial institution, and I’ve noticed that there is a 20% dropout rate during the training period. The training is primarily self-directed and conducted online, requiring us to read around 20,000 words each day, followed by quizzes and knowledge assessments. I’m finding it overwhelming and it seems like nearly a quarter of my cohort has already dropped out in just three weeks. Is this dropout rate typical for training programs like this?

WhatsApp & GDPR (UK law)

WhatsApp & GDPR in the UK: Seeking Insights

As a professional working in a recruitment firm in the UK, I’ve been hearing a lot of discussions lately surrounding the use of WhatsApp and its compliance with GDPR regulations.

Personally, I find WhatsApp to be an invaluable tool for reaching out to candidates. They tend to respond more quickly on this platform compared to others, and the instant messaging, read receipts, and the ability to make voice or video calls enhance communication significantly.

However, our company is considering moving away from WhatsApp due to concerns about GDPR compliance (especially since we’ve stopped sending traditional SMS messages). They are suggesting alternatives like making phone calls, leaving voicemails (which are often ignored), and relying on email, which candidates may not check as frequently. I can’t help but feel that this might actually hinder our recruitment process rather than improve it. If the decision is made to ban WhatsApp due to compliance issues, it could slow down our hiring efforts and even influence candidates’ decisions.

I did some quick research and found that most guidelines emphasize being cautious with group chats, ensuring the content shared is appropriate, and obtaining candidates’ permission before adding them to WhatsApp.

I would greatly appreciate any arguments in favor of using WhatsApp that others might have. Additionally, I’m keen to learn about any potential drawbacks or alternative solutions. I feel like I still have much to understand on this topic! Thank you!
