Part-Time Opportunity Inquiry

I’m exploring the possibility of getting involved in recruitment on a part-time basis. While I’m not quite ready to start my own business, I come from a recruitment background and currently work in sales.

I’m seeking advice or leads on commission-only positions, specifically in local sectors like hospitality or warehousing. I have availability in the evenings, on weekends, and occasionally during the week, which would allow me to dedicate time to find new clients. I’m connected with my local community and feel confident in my ability to fill multiple positions.

Does anyone know of companies open to this kind of arrangement, or do you think I’d need to consider starting my own venture? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Seeking Reverse Recruiting Advice

Hello everyone,

I’m currently working in the UX/UI field and have a strong background in customer service. While I recognize that UX pays well, I’m looking to shift my focus away from it. Ideally, I’d love to transition into a role in customer success where I can leverage my 15 years of customer service experience. However, the financial rewards in that area often come with roles like Customer Success Manager.

My question is:

Where can I find reverse recruiters who specialize in specific fields, such as UX design or customer success, and who don’t charge a fee? I’ve heard about these recruiters who work to match candidates with opportunities in their area of expertise.

Any insights or resources you can share would be greatly appreciated, as reverse recruiting is a new concept for me. Thank you!

How to Compensate Permanent Recruiters?

Hello everyone! I hope you can help me out with a question that feels a bit dense—I’m seeking guidance from the seasoned pros in this community!

I launched a recruitment agency at the beginning of this year, and we’re doing well, generating around $60K per month, primarily through contract work. While I have considerable experience in temporary and contract recruitment, permanent placements are a whole new ballgame for me. As I grow my team, I’m trying to figure out how to handle billing and commission calculations for individual recruiters.

I plan to implement a salary plus commission structure. The idea is for recruiters to repay their salary with their billings while earning commissions on any amount they generate beyond that. I’m considering a commission model where they receive 30% for securing the job order and 25% for successfully filling the order.

Here’s an example:

If a recruiter’s monthly salary is $5K and they generate $30K in billings for the month, how should I calculate their commission? I apologize if this question seems basic, but I’m really struggling to understand this. Should their billings be based on the total fee of the job order they worked on, or just the portion they directly impacted?

According to my proposed plan, if a recruiter secures a job order but someone else fills it, they’ll still be eligible for a 30% commission after covering their salary. In that case, if the fee for a placement is $20K, would their commission be calculated on $15K (the original fee minus their salary)? Or would it be calculated on the entire $20K? I’m genuinely puzzled here—any insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

How to Transition into a Travel Staffing Agency

I currently operate a staffing agency that serves school districts and higher education institutions in California, focusing on therapists. I’m interested in expanding my agency to include travel staffing, allowing me to recruit candidates from outside of my state. I’ve searched online for guidance, but I may not be using the right terms, as I haven’t found the information I need. Any advice or direction on how to make this transition would be greatly appreciated!

Looking for ATS Recommendations with Website Data Integration for My Solo Recruitment Firm

Hello everyone,

I’m in the process of launching a solo recruitment firm and am on the lookout for an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) that can help me manage applications while also presenting valuable data on my website for each job listing.

I’m particularly interested in an ATS that can capture and display the following information:

  • Total number of applicants
  • Number of interviews conducted
  • Predominant industries of applicants
  • Rejection rate of applicants

I’d love to showcase this data in a dashboard format on my website, similar to the insights available in a typical ATS dashboard for recruiters.

Do you know of any ATS platforms that provide this kind of integration? Which ones would you recommend that align closely with these features?

Thank you for your suggestions!

Recruitment Query

I recently applied for a position where I have over 10 years of experience. After deciding to leave my previous job, I took a 4-month break to reassess my career direction, and I’ve now decided I’m ready to return to work.

I had a positive initial conversation with the recruiter, which was followed by an in-person interview with the hiring manager the next week, and that went well too.

The day after my interview, the recruiter contacted me to schedule a phone call for the following week. I assumed this call would be to share the good news about my acceptance, as my extensive experience seemed to align perfectly with the company’s needs based on our discussions.

However, during the call, the recruiter informed me that they would not be moving forward with my application. She mentioned there was no negative feedback about my interview, and that the hiring manager appreciated our conversation. The reason for their decision, she said, was that they preferred candidates who are currently employed in similar roles.

To my surprise, just two days later, I found that the same job posting had been re-listed on their website.

What does this imply, and what steps should I take next? I’m starting to feel like the recruiter may not have been completely honest with me.

Enough, I want out.

Enough, I want out.

I’ve reached my breaking point, and I want to make a change. I’ve spent over five years in recruitment and talent acquisition, partnering with some of the largest manufacturing and IT companies, both as an agency and in-house recruiter. Unfortunately, I’ve faced two layoffs—one due to COVID-19 and the other during the wave of tech layoffs.

In my quest for growth, I relocated twice for job opportunities without any relocation support, and at each new position, I earned promotions. However, my salary is now about 30% lower than it was two years ago. I’ve felt stagnant, not learning anything new in the last three years while finding myself in a teaching role instead.

I’m considering a shift to sales, particularly in manufacturing-related products—not services or software. I would appreciate any advice on how to transition out of recruitment or other options I should explore. I’m currently based in Barcelona. Thanks in advance!
