Weird job offer situation

Strange Job Offer Situation

Hey everyone, I hope I’m posting in the right place. I recently interviewed for a job I didn’t actually apply for—talk about a mix-up! I accidentally walked into the wrong office and ended up with a verbal offer. My start date is scheduled for tomorrow, but I still haven’t received any email regarding an official offer letter or the I-9 paperwork (just to clarify, I was told I would get it the same night I received the offer). Should I be worried? I understand it’s the weekend, and it’s possible the paperwork is just caught up somewhere, but I’m feeling a bit anxious about job security at this time of year. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

Key Account Owners – What are your rules?

Calling All Key Account Managers – How Do You Define Yours?

I’m part of a small firm that serves around 100 clients each year, with about 30 of them being regulars who rely on us for their staffing needs.

We’re looking to establish clearer criteria for designating a client as a Key Account. Recently, a subsidiary of a company we previously collaborated with reached out for staffing support. They are now working with a different recruiter than the one they dealt with previously, and there’s been some office tension as a result. Our prior engagement with this client was just a single placement made three years ago, which management feels doesn’t warrant Key Account status.

Do you have specific guidelines in place for managing Key Accounts? We would love to create a policy that helps us avoid any similar issues in the future.

Controversial topic – but what are the best paying Recruitment Agencies

Controversial Discussion: What Are the Top-Paying Recruitment Agencies?

I’m considering a career in recruitment but have heard numerous stories about consultants not receiving their fair share of earnings.

What should I be aware of, and which agencies should I consider joining? I’m based in Melbourne, Australia, and I truly believe I have a lot to contribute to the industry. I was offered a position at Roberts & Walters but decided to decline it. I’ve also met with Hays.

Several friends from my marketing program at university transitioned into recruitment and now hold significant HR roles within reputable companies, which makes me think this could be a promising career path.

I’m also attracted to the potential for independence in this field, as it allows for the possibility of working remotely after gaining experience.

I’d greatly appreciate any tips or insights!

New ceo of tp ph

Subject: Change in Leadership at TP PH

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share an update following our HRD’s announcement last Friday, December 16, 2023 (PH time). This will be our final working day of the year. Our company is currently assessing whether we (not TP) will be able to return as TAs next year, as our business partner, TP PH, has a new owner/CEO.

It appears that the new CEO may not have included the business partners in their plans moving forward. I’m trying to gather more information to determine if this is accurate or if my company is simply encouraging us to resign or terminate our contracts. If anyone has any insights, I would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you!

Software for automated reachout

Subject: Seeking Software for Automated Outreach

As a recruiter, my initial task often involves identifying the ideal talent for available positions and reaching out to them via LinkedIn messages. However, I’ve noticed that the response rate to these messages tends to be quite low. To enhance my outreach efforts, I’m considering automating the initial phase. My idea is to automatically identify suitable candidates based on a job description and send them a pre-written message.

I’d like to engage with candidates only once they respond. Does anyone know of any software that can help me with this? Thank you!

State of tech recruitment ?

Current Landscape of Tech Recruitment

Hi everyone,

I hope this is the right place to start this conversation. I’m eager to dive into the current state of tech recruitment as I’m considering developing a tool that would assist both recruiters in finding talent and engineering students in securing software engineering positions. This idea is still in its early stages, but I’d love to gather insights from anyone, particularly in-house tech recruiters who specialize in hiring new graduates and students.

Here are some key topics I’d like to discuss:

  • What are the main methods or platforms you utilize for sourcing and evaluating software engineering talent? How effective are they?

  • What challenges do you encounter when identifying and assessing candidates for tech roles?

  • What specific technical skills or qualifications do you focus on when hiring junior or entry-level software engineers?

  • How often do students possess relevant, practical work experience when applying for software engineering roles? Does this experience help them stand out?

  • Any additional thoughts or insights related to these topics would be greatly appreciated!

Right now, this is just an idea, and I am keen to engage with professionals in the recruitment field before moving forward with development. Thank you!

Best agencies for Recruiters looking for work in London?

Recommendations for Recruitment Agencies for Job Seekers in London

My current position has had quite a rollercoaster year, with layoffs in the summer followed by a brief period of hiring, only to now face another slowdown. Having experienced redundancy during Covid, I’m really hoping to avoid that situation again. I realize this isn’t the ideal time of year to be searching for new opportunities, but I’m eager to make a move. We all know that recruitment agencies can be quite persistent, which could help get my name out there!

I’ve primarily worked in internal recruitment and prefer to stay away from the agency side. I’m looking for recommendations for agencies that focus on HR roles, particularly in London and the South East. Thank you!
