Nirvana mechanical. What is the deal? Nothing about it seems legit.

Nirvana Mechanical – what’s the story here? Nothing about them feels authentic. I stumbled upon some job postings on LinkedIn associated with Nirvana Mechanical. However, the company only lists three employees on their LinkedIn, and the only active account doesn’t even have a profile picture. When I searched the company online, I found a sparse Squarespace site that appears to be for a plumbing service. The only additional information I could find was on get.it. Overall, it raises a lot of red flags. What do these questionable “recruitment” agencies hope to gain by posting fake job listings? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

I know this might sound like a silly question, but if you were an agency recruiter and found a position you believed you were a great fit for and were genuinely interested in, would you be able to submit your own CV for consideration?

AI in recruitment

AI in Recruitment

Has anyone experienced AI conducting real interviews? I’m curious to hear about any other experiences you’ve had with AI in the recruitment process!

Are recruiters getting worse at sales in your team as well?

Are recruiters in your team struggling with sales too?

I’m curious because I’ve been in the tech industry for a decade now. While I understand the market is challenging right now, I wonder if some recruiters are finding it harder to sell?

At my current company, the first few hours are completely quiet as everyone focuses on writing their creative emails. But in the afternoons, there are only a handful of calls made (we’re in some very niche markets).

I remember a time in my previous job when we had a target of 50 cold calls a day— the atmosphere was electric, super competitive, and loud!

I’ve spoken to others in the industry, and it seems like many companies have adopted this quiet, library-like approach to recruitment because their staff get uncomfortable with pressure.

Is this what you’re experiencing at your company? If not, what’s your secret to performing well?

I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Hello everyone,

I’m eager to learn how many of you are utilizing AI and automation tools in your recruitment efforts, particularly on LinkedIn. With the ongoing discussions about AI revolutionizing various industries, I’m curious whether it’s becoming a part of our everyday activities like candidate sourcing and engagement.

Are any of you leveraging AI-driven software for automating LinkedIn outreach, sourcing candidates, or screening applicants? If so, what tools have you adopted, and how have they influenced your workflow? Have you seen a noticeable improvement in efficiency, or faced any challenges along the way?

I’m especially interested in any cutting-edge AI tools that have been transformative for you. Additionally, how do you ensure that automation does not diminish the personal touch in your interactions with potential candidates?

One popular platform here in the Netherlands is SourceGeek.

I look forward to hearing your insights and any suggestions you may have!

Thank you!

Is it essential to stick to a one-page resume? Should you include a summary at the top? Will using a two-column format hurt your chances?

I’ve noticed many people facing challenges and experimenting with different approaches, and it often seems quite subjective. So, I’m curious—what truly resonates with recruiters and what tactics are proving successful for others?

Our goal is to empower small to medium-sized recruitment agencies with a user-friendly platform that offers:

• The ability to list, sort, and shortlist preferred candidates.
• A concise summary and overview of each candidate’s skills and expertise.
• Access to candidate contact information, with a feature to send personalized emails directly through the portal.
• Analytics and reporting tools for better decision-making.
• Support for multiple users on a single account.

We would greatly appreciate your feedback on this concept. Is this something you would find beneficial? How can we improve it, and what features would you like to see in a lightweight recruitment platform?
