Seeking Guidance on Business Development Basics

Hello everyone,

I’m reaching out for some assistance in refining my approach to Business Development.

To give you a bit of context, I work at an agency focused on healthcare providers, primarily care homes and homecare services. I manage four counties within our market, but my area has seen some disorganization due to previous consultants and overlapping efforts.

While I’m confident in my ability to conduct B.D. calls and prefer a proactive call-first approach, I find myself struggling with organization. This is an area I’m actively trying to improve.

Currently, I’m entering data into our system, maintaining various Excel sheets, and jotting down notes, which often leads to confusion by the end of the week. Unless I manage to take notes during a call, I frequently lose track of which managers I’ve connected with and those I still need to follow up on.

Overall, I’m aiming to enhance my ability to track prospects and gain a clearer understanding of my market.

If anyone could provide me with some straightforward methods or tools to stay organized—like a simple system to track conversations and follow-ups—it would be immensely appreciated. I’m looking for a way to streamline my process and build my market knowledge.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Career Advice Needed

Seeking Career Guidance

Hello everyone,

I’m reaching out for some advice regarding my career path. After nearly three years in recruitment, I left my previous company two months ago, and I’ve been regretting that decision. I’m now looking to shift into an internal recruitment role.

However, I’m worried that my brief stint at my most recent job might hinder my chances of landing interviews. Should I exclude this position from my CV and state that I took some time off for personal reasons, or would it be better to include the role and express my genuine interest in moving to an internal position?

Any insights or advice on how to navigate this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

call transcription into submittals

Subject: Tools for Recording and Transcribing Candidate Conversations

Hey agency professionals!

I’m looking for recommendations on tools that can record conversations with candidates, transcribe them, and then summarize the information into an easy-to-read submittal.

Having this capability would greatly streamline the process and help us get candidate information to our clients more efficiently. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Daily Workflow: How do you schedule your day?

Daily Workflow: What’s Your Daily Schedule Like?

Hey, RedditNation! I’m interested in how other recruiters organize their days. I’m working on establishing a rough schedule to boost my productivity and make better use of my time. I understand that plans can shift unexpectedly, but generally, how do you divide your day? Do you allocate an hour for one task and two hours for another?

I’d love to hear your thoughts! Thanks in advance for any tips!

Job Adverts

Job Advertisement Inquiry

Hello everyone,

We’re considering renewing our LinkedIn job posting package, but at £4,500 a year for just three ads, our return on investment has been quite disappointing.

Have any of you come across job posting platforms that you’ve found useful? Ideally, we’re looking for something that can distribute our listings across multiple job boards, including LinkedIn, and consolidate all applications in one location.

I would appreciate any suggestions you might have!

Hiring Managers/Recruiters: How are your video interviews working out? What’s your setup?

Attention Hiring Managers and Recruiters: How are your video interviews going? What’s your setup like?

Since the onset of COVID, I’ve been observing how video interviews have evolved, and I’m eager to learn how various companies are adapting now. For those of you conducting video interviews on a regular basis:

What aspects of your current setup are working well? What challenges have you faced?

I’m particularly interested in:

• How you’re incorporating video interviews into your overall hiring process
• The platforms you’re using (and how well they integrate with your other hiring tools)
• What you would like to change about the current process
• How candidates are adjusting to video interviews these days

Having experienced both sides of the hiring process, I believe video interviews are likely here to stay, yet there’s still room for growth. I’d love to hear about your experiences and insights!

Seeking the Best Sourcing Training/Certs Programs

Looking for Top Sourcing Training and Certification Programs

I’m searching for the best sourcing training or certification options for a small team with diverse experience levels.

A few years ago, I completed the SourceCon Academy at a previous job, and I found it incredibly valuable. Our Talent Acquisition leader is recommending AIRS, but I haven’t heard much about it in over a decade.

I’d love to hear your thoughts! Any recommendations or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Didn’t tell new employer that I’m currently employed

Didn’t Disclose Current Employment to New Employer

I recently accepted a position with a larger company while still working at a small startup. During the interview process, they didn’t inquire about my current employment status, and I chose not to mention it, as my previous role was more relevant and impressive for the position I was applying for.

In the past few years, I have changed jobs for various reasons—like relocating from the US to the UK, which prevented me from transferring roles. This led to concerns from the interview team about my job-hopping tendencies, but they ultimately decided to move forward with my application.

Now that I’ve signed the offer, I need to provide my current employer’s details for a background check through HireRight. This means my new employer will discover that I’m still employed, and I’m worried they may rescind the offer since I didn’t disclose this information.

I see a few options moving forward:

1. Email the Recruiter: I could reach out to the recruiter before notifying my current employer. In the email, I would explain that I didn’t think my current job was relevant and wasn’t sure it needed to be included in the HireRight form.

2. Submit the HireRight Form: I could give my notice and send in the HireRight form without any explanation to the recruiter. However, this poses a risk if they decide to terminate the contract once they find out.

3. Omit Current Job from HireRight: Although this feels uncomfortable, I’ve read that they typically only verify the information provided. However, I’ll also be supplying a P-45, which outlines my complete employment history.

I’m unsure how to proceed and would appreciate any advice.

What’s the most annoying part about your job as a recruiter?

What’s the most frustrating aspect of your role as a recruiter?

Hi there! I’m a software engineer who has been actively involved in the hiring processes at my previous two companies, and I’m eager to gain insight into the recruiting perspective.

As a technical interviewer, I’ve found it quite disheartening to encounter candidates with impressive resumes who, unfortunately, lack the necessary skills. It’s clear that identifying quality candidates is more challenging than I had anticipated.

So, I’m curious to know: what do you find to be the most difficult or annoying part of your job? I’m particularly interested in insights related to:

• Sourcing candidates
• Following up on leads
• Candidates ghosting during the hiring process
• Frustrations with ATS and CRM software
• And any other challenges you face!

Thanks for sharing!
