Has anyone had a recent experience applying and interviewing at Manulife? I’m considering reapplying since it’s been six months since my last attempt, and I’m hopeful for a better outcome this time around. I had a bit of an unusual experience with their recruitment process previously, but I’ve heard great things about their benefits. I’m curious to know if their hiring process has improved since then.
In my new role as a Tech Recruiter, I’ve been tasked with conducting extensive market research without directly reaching out to candidates. This approach is largely driven by the increasing costs of LinkedIn licenses and the need for efficient use of resources.
To gather salary insights, I’ve turned to platforms like Glassdoor and Jobicy, among others. However, I’ve found that the data often lacks reliability and can be difficult to interpret.
Given these challenges, I’m looking for effective methods to conduct meaningful salary market research.
Are there any tools, software, or strategies that could help streamline this process?
Thank you!

Invoice Financing Inquiry
Hello everyone! I’m curious to hear who you recommend for invoice financing. Some people use banks for this, but unfortunately, our business bank doesn’t provide this service since we’re just getting started. I’d appreciate any suggestions you might have (UK-based). Thank you!
Advice on LinkedIn Talent Solutions
I’ve been in discussions with LinkedIn regarding transitioning to their Job Slots and Recruiter features instead of continuing with individual job postings.
I have a couple of options: I can either go for 3 job slots along with the Recruiter feature for around £3,200, or opt for 5 job slots without the Recruiter feature for £1,900 over a 6-month period.
Since most of our hiring is focused on junior roles, I’m uncertain about how beneficial the Recruiter feature would be for our needs. I would appreciate any suggestions or experiences others may have had with these features!
Possible mistake?
I have a background check with CISIVE coming up and just realized that the resume they have is not completely accurate. While the job titles are correct, the years for one position are incorrect. How should I handle this? Should I inform them and send an updated resume, or should I just leave it as is? What would you recommend? 🥲

Navigating Job Advert Access – Am I Overstepping?
Background:
I have been working in agency recruitment for three years now. When I first started, we had access to three job ad slots each month. These were single-use, meaning once they were posted, they were gone for good. Our company website is not effective in attracting quality candidates, and on rare occasions, we could negotiate for an extra slot or two.
Recently, we were granted access to a reusable Indeed job slot, which rotates weekly among team members. This means each of us gets a week (from Wednesday to Wednesday) to utilize it before passing it on.
The Challenge:
I’m currently having a strong quarter, exceeding my €35k target with over €50k in billings, which has renewed my enthusiasm for recruitment. However, management has decided to eliminate all single-use job slots and has revoked access to CV databases. Although we were informed that more Indeed slots may become available, no definite plans have been presented.
Because of these restrictions, I can only post jobs during the first week of the month, leaving me without advertising options for the remainder. This situation forces me into purely cold sourcing, which, while part of my role, feels like an unnecessary obstacle. I genuinely believe that, with better access to job postings and warmer candidates, my billings could increase to between €80k and €100k per quarter.
I’ve voiced my concerns to management, but they seem indifferent, offering little more than reassurances during team meetings and quickly moving on, even when multiple team members express similar frustrations.
Am I in the Wrong?
Should I advocate more strongly for tangible changes, or is this simply something I need to accept? I have a genuine desire to perform better and generate more revenue for the company—and, naturally, for myself. But if they remain unyielding, am I just wasting my efforts?
What does everyone think—should I continue pushing for better resources, or adapt to the limitations we currently face?
Grateful? Unsure?
I just completed a second round interview (woohoo!) with a company I admire, and I had a great conversation with one of my potential future managers.
Here’s where I need your advice:
The meeting was coordinated by HR, so I don’t have the interviewer’s email. Should I connect with him on LinkedIn to express my gratitude, or would it be better to remain silent?
Thanks for your help!
