UK – Registered Nurse Recruitment

UK – Registered Nurse Recruitment Update

Hello everyone,

I’m excited to share that I’ve launched a Registered Nurse recruitment agency in the UK as a side venture alongside my Tech Sales career.

Recently, I’ve begun making placements, which has been encouraging, and I can see the potential for greater earnings if I were to pursue this full-time.

However, I’m faced with a decision: should I leave my current job to fully commit to this endeavor? I have great medical benefits and a solid salary with bonuses from my tech company.

What are your thoughts on the current market? Is this type of business sustainable in the long run?

I would appreciate any insights!

Looking for advice (UK)

Seeking Advice (UK)

A brief background: I’ve been in the recruitment field since 2017, working both in agencies and in-house. My last two positions paid between £36k and £37k, but I’m currently looking for new opportunities after completing a contract.

It’s been incredibly challenging. I’ve applied to hundreds of jobs in my area and had several interviews, but when I reach the final rounds, the selected candidates always seem to have something extra that I lack.

Most job postings I come across now are in the mid-£20k range. I started my career at £23k in 2017, and just recently an agency wasted my time with a job offering only £25k. For context, I was previously a Recruitment Manager.

I’m feeling really lost. I’ve tried every strategy I know, but I haven’t secured solid work since March—just a few temporary positions.

If anyone has any recommendations or advice, I’d greatly appreciate it, as I feel like I’m struggling to stay afloat. Thank you!

Dean DaCosta’s Start.Me page. A plethora of info for all recruiters (updates sans link)

Check out Dean DaCosta’s Start.Me page—it’s a treasure trove of resources for recruiters!

For those unfamiliar with Dean, he’s a sourcing and Boolean expert, and he runs a fantastic site called The Sourcing Links, packed with valuable information (I won’t share the link due to rules).

To find Dean’s Start.Me page, simply search for “Dean Da Costa Start Me,” and you’ll see it pop up across the first page of results.

Dean has curated an extensive list of tools, software, Facebook pages, and other resources that every recruiter should have at their fingertips. He regularly updates this page and includes the dates for each update or addition.

If you haven’t heard of Start.Me yet, it’s a great platform! It’s free to use, and I use it as my homepage to organize all my bookmarks and frequently used sites. Many users, like Dean, share their pages, and you can easily copy sections to incorporate into your own Start.Me for quick access. I’ve saved several of Dean’s pages and even discovered a fantastic Start.Me created by someone focused on AI and ChatGPT, featuring loads of links on how-tos, prompt engineering, OpenAI API, and AI tool aggregators.

I’m not quite sure how to search for other Start.Me pages, but I’m sure there are plenty more out there that could benefit those in recruiting or business development/sales!

Where do I find Accountants?

Looking for Accountants in Berlin

I’m on the hunt for accountants in Berlin and have noticed they don’t seem very active on LinkedIn. It’s common for me to either get no responses or receive replies quite late.

Are there other platforms or communities where accountants are more engaged? I’d appreciate any recommendations! Thank you!

Leaving recruitment

Transitioning from Recruitment

I’m considering new opportunities beyond recruitment. After nearly ten years in this field, I feel it’s time for a change.

I’m interested in exploring roles in sales, account management, business development, and the like, particularly within tech, SaaS, and fintech companies.

If anyone has made a similar transition, I would love to hear about your experiences. What challenges did you face, and what advice can you share? Thank you!

I’m looking to gather insights on the top three challenges that private sector companies often encounter when collaborating with recruitment agencies.

One common issue I’ve noticed is receiving CVs from candidates who are clearly unqualified. I’m eager to hear what other significant pain points you all have experienced or observed.

Thanks in advance for your input!
