Considering a Career Change
I’m currently working in car sales but I’m interested in exploring a career in recruitment since there are numerous opportunities available in my area.
Could anyone share what a typical day looks like for a recruitment consultant? Also, how does the pay and commission structure work in this field?
I’m based in the UK, so any insights specific to this region would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Seeking Insights on ADB IS5 Recruitment Process Timeline

I hope you’re all doing well. I recently had the chance to interview for a position at the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and have reached the stage where they’ve asked me for additional documents and references for an IS role.

Navigating Salary Negotiations at ADB: Strategies Needed
Hello Reddit Community!
I hope you’re all doing well. I recently interviewed for a position at the Asian Development Bank (ADB), and I’m excited about the potential opportunity. However, I’ve heard that ADB’s initial salary offers tend to be on the lower end and that pay increases happen quite slowly.
I’m reaching out for advice and insights from anyone who has experience negotiating salaries with ADB or similar international organizations. Here’s a bit about my situation:
I’m in the final stages of the interview process. While I’m enthusiastic about the role, I want to ensure that the compensation reflects my skills and expectations. If you have negotiated with ADB or have tips for approaching this process, I would greatly appreciate your input.
Here are some specific questions I have:
I recognize that ADB offers various non-monetary benefits, but I want to make sure that the salary component is equitable as well.

Making Recruitment More Accessible
Hello, Reddit Community,
I’ve been on the job hunt for quite some time now, and I’ve noticed that many companies only send generic responses like, “You’re great, but we chose someone else.” Although I’ve attended numerous interviews, the only valuable feedback I’ve received was from Atlassian. How can candidates improve without knowing their weaknesses?
I feel that the recruitment process is largely controlled by companies, leaving job seekers with limited power to advocate for their rights. I’m curious about your thoughts on this. I’ve been considering a startup idea focused on democratizing recruitment because I believe there are too many pain points for both job seekers and employers. What suggestions do you have to help develop this concept further?
Thank you!

How to Discuss Billings in Interviews and with Recruiters
Hey everyone!
I started my career with a recruitment agency right after university, and I’ve been with my current company for about a year now. I’m casually exploring new opportunities because I feel there’s a lack of direction at my current place. Each week feels random, with no clear training or structured plan, which I believe is crucial, especially when starting out.
I’ve had conversations with a few recruiters about potential moves, but the topic of billings often comes up. At my company, we don’t receive commissions until we’re promoted; instead, we earn a flat bonus for each placement. Only after promotion do we transition to a commission-based structure.
In my first year, I successfully made around 7-8 placements, a mix of permanent and contract roles. Since my promotion, I’ve completed approximately 10-12 contract placements. The challenge I’m facing is that these contract placements are recent, so the billings haven’t been realized yet. However, I do have a strong run rate for contractors.
How should I present my billings for the year to prospective employers? Should I include the standard percentage of the total placement fees I’ve contributed to this year, or should I focus solely on my current contract rates? Right now, it may seem like I haven’t achieved much this year on paper, even though I’ve successfully made placements. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, especially considering I’m in the UK! Thanks!

Choosing the Right Industry in London
Hi everyone,
I could use some guidance as I navigate my career path. I’ve spent nearly a decade in ad sales and most recently transitioned to the luxury property market in London. However, given the recent global events, that sector has hit a rough patch.
I know it may sound a bit disheartening, but I’m a realist and understand that at this stage in my mid-30s, I may not find a “dream job.” I’m more focused on opting for a role that I find interesting and that also offers a decent return for the effort I put in.
During my time at an ad tech sales firm, I consistently ranked among the top performers in our 10-person sales team, so I believe in my skills and potential.
I’m curious about the typical career progression for someone in my position, particularly without prior experience in recruitment. How quickly can one expect to advance within a company? Are there specific industries that stand out as worth exploring?
Thank you for any insights you can share!
Talent Acquisition Jobs in the UK
It’s clear that the current market for talent acquisition and internal recruitment is quite challenging for many of us.
The salary offerings are disappointing, with technical recruiters now earning around £25k—a figure that was nearly three times higher just last year!
Are others feeling the same way? Is anyone else on the lookout for new opportunities and noticing this trend?
Tips for Approaching Prospective Clients
Hello everyone,
I’m just starting out in recruiting and would love to hear your insights on how you usually connect with potential clients. We have a goal to onboard a specific number of new clients each quarter, but I haven’t had much success so far. I’m wondering if companies might be handling their recruitment internally or if the market is so crowded with recruiters that my outreach comes across as telemarketing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
