Maybe a mess up?

Possible error?

I have a background check scheduled with CISIVE soon, and I just noticed that my resume isn’t entirely accurate. While the job titles are correct, the dates for one position are incorrect. How should I handle this? Should I inform them and submit an updated resume, or is it better to stay quiet? What’s the best course of action? 🥲

Struggling with Job Advert Access – Am I Wrong to Push Back?

Struggling with Access to Job Advert Slots – Am I Overstepping by Advocating for Change?

Background:
I’ve spent the last three years working in agency recruitment. Initially, we were allocated three single-use job advert slots each month, which would disappear once utilized. Although our company has a website, it hasn’t proven effective in attracting quality candidates. Occasionally, we’ve managed to request an additional slot or two.

In the past year, however, we’ve gained access to a reusable job slot on Indeed. This slot rotates among team members weekly, allowing us to alternate posting opportunities.

The Situation:
I’m currently experiencing a successful quarter, with over €50k in billings against a target of €35k. For the first time in ages, I feel optimistic about my work in recruitment. However, management has recently eliminated all single-use job slots and cut access to CV databases. Although we’ve been promised more Indeed slots in the future, there’s no clear timeline.

Without the ability to post ads, I can only advertise jobs during the first week of the month, leaving me without any opportunities for the remainder. This situation forces me into relying entirely on cold sourcing, which, while a part of our work, feels like an unnecessary limitation. I genuinely believe I could generate €80k–€100k per quarter if I had better access to job postings and warm candidates.

I’ve expressed my concerns to management, but they seem unresponsive—acknowledging our frustrations in team meetings without taking real action.

Am I in the Wrong?
Should I persist in advocating for significant changes, or is this simply a situation I should accept? I’m eager to improve my performance and contribute more revenue to the company (and increase my own earnings in the process). However, if they remain unyielding, am I just wasting my energy?

What’s the general opinion—should I fight for better resources or just make the best of what I have?

Has anyone here applied and interviewed at Manulife?

Has anyone here recently applied or interviewed at Manulife? I’m considering reapplying since it’s been six months since my last attempt, and I’m hoping for a better experience this time. I had a bit of a strange experience with their recruitment process before, but I know they offer great benefits. Fingers crossed that things have improved!

Salary Market Research for Tech Recruiting

Exploring Salary Market Research for Tech Recruiting

As a new Tech Recruiter, I’ve been tasked with conducting extensive market research on salaries without directly reaching out to candidates. With the rising costs of LinkedIn licenses, this approach is often more efficient in terms of both speed and resources.

To navigate this challenge, I’ve turned to platforms like Glassdoor and Jobicy to gauge salary ranges for various roles. However, I’ve found that much of the data is either poorly validated or difficult to interpret.

Given this context, I’m looking for effective strategies to conduct reliable salary market research.

Are there specific tools, software, or resources that could help streamline this process?

Thank you!

LinkedIn Talent Solutions advice

Advice from LinkedIn Talent Solutions
I’ve been in discussions with LinkedIn regarding the transition to their Job Slots and Recruiter features instead of continuing with individual job posts.

I have two options on the table: one is 3 job slots along with the Recruiter feature for around £3200, and the other is 5 job slots without the Recruiter feature for £1900, both for a duration of 6 months.

Since most of our hiring focuses on junior roles, I’m uncertain about the effectiveness of the Recruiter feature for our needs. I would appreciate any suggestions or insights from those who have experience with these features.

Got added as a recruiter for studies at my job and I’m actually kind of excited for it.

I was recently given the opportunity to take on a recruitment role for studies at my job, and I’m genuinely excited about it! I’m not sure if this is the best place to share, but I’ve been working in data entry at a clinical research facility for over three years. With our team being short-staffed, my boss approached me to help recruit patients for studies, and I gladly agreed.

One of my responsibilities has been answering front desk calls, which has made me quite comfortable speaking with people on the phone and managing various tasks.

To be honest, I’ve been feeling a bit burned out at work lately. I’ve expressed my frustrations about corporate culture to my boss and felt stuck in my role. However, as I think about this new opportunity, I’m starting to feel a sense of excitement. It actually sounds like it could be a lot of fun!

I had a brief training session on Friday, and I’ll officially begin recruitment on Monday. I’m really looking forward to it! As someone with years of experience, I know that things don’t always go as planned, but I’m embracing this change. It feels like I’ve stepped into a new role without needing to switch jobs entirely.

I also believe the skills I’ll gain from this experience will be beneficial in other industries too.

Talk to a recruiter before or after applying?

Should You Connect with a Recruiter Before or After Applying?

Hello everyone!

I’m currently a junior in college and in the process of applying for internships. I’m curious if it’s more advantageous to reach out to a recruiter before I submit my application or after it’s in.

Additionally, I’d love to set up a 15-minute coffee chat with a recruiter. What’s the best way to go about this? What insightful questions should I consider asking? I’d also love to hear about your favorite questions to ask during such conversations.

Thanks in advance for your help!
