Recruitment agency franchisee

Recruitment Agency Franchisee Inquiry

Has anyone here acquired a franchise from a well-known recruitment agency? I’m referring to the model where you pay an upfront fee to start the franchise. The company shares job openings with you, and you’re responsible for sourcing candidates using job portals and databases they provide. If you successfully fill a position, there’s typically a 50/50 revenue split between you and the company.

I’m curious if this model is viable for working from home. What are your thoughts?

Mis procesos de reclutamiento se volvieron difíciles sin serlo realmente.

Mis procesos de reclutamiento se han vuelto desafiantes, aunque en realidad no deberían serlo. Soy de Perú y actualmente trabajo en una pequeña empresa que necesita estibadores, despachadores y recepcionistas. Reclutar para algunos puestos fuera de la capital ha sido más fácil debido al mayor número de postulantes. Sin embargo, en el último mes, he notado que, por ejemplo, en los últimos dos días solo han postulado 3-4 personas, y ninguna cumple con el perfil requerido. Además, aunque recibí 3 candidatos prometedores a través de la última publicación en la ATS (Computrabajo), ninguno se presentó a la entrevista programada.

He mantenido la misma estrategia de comunicación que usé en otras empresas donde no enfrenté tantas dificultades. Me pregunto si hay algo más que podría hacer, o si tal vez hay maneras de atraer a más candidatos de las que no estoy al tanto. He estado utilizando las cuentas gratuitas de Indeed y Bumeran como apoyo, y también he compartido anuncios de empleo en grupos de Facebook, que es algo común. A pesar de estas últimas iniciativas, apenas he generado candidatos, si es que he conseguido alguno.

¿Alguno de ustedes ha enfrentado una situación similar o tiene ideas sobre cómo aumentar la cantidad de postulantes? Siento que estoy poniendo mucho esfuerzo, pero parece que no produce resultados. También me preocupa que mi supervisor no logre entender por qué no puedo integrar a un nuevo empleado en 2-4 días, considerando que las funciones a cubrir son pocas. He intentado explorar bolsas de trabajo menos conocidas y también la del ministerio de trabajo, pero no he tenido éxito. No sé si se trata de mala suerte o si simplemente he perdido la habilidad en mi trabajo.

Business Internships

Seeking Advice on Business Internships

As a second-year student in a competitive business program in Canada, I’ve been struggling to secure a summer internship this year. While I understand that target schools often offer better networking opportunities, I feel that these connections have their limits. I’m hoping to gain more insights and advice on navigating the recruitment process. I believe sharing this experience could benefit other business students facing similar challenges! Thank you in advance for your support!

State of the market or fickle agencies?

Market Conditions or Unreliable Agencies?

Hello everyone, I was recently laid off from my previous role at a small niche agency with a team of just six. I’m currently looking for a new position in the same industry and have interviewed with 7 to 8 different companies. One particular company has brought me in for five interviews for the same role!

I’ve received only a couple of formal rejections, but for most of the interviews I’ve had, I’ve been left without any feedback. A few of these opportunities came through recruitment-to-recruitment agencies, and I’ve similarly received no follow-up from them.

Do you think this is a reflection of the current state of the market, or am I just encountering some unreliable agencies?

LinkedIn Invitation Hell – Anyone Else?

Navigating LinkedIn Invitation Overload – Anyone Else Experiencing This?

Hi everyone! 👋

I’ve been reflecting on my experience from a few years back when I was freelancing in tech recruitment, and I’ve got to share—sorting through LinkedIn invitations was a massive time sink.

Receiving between 50 and 100 invites weekly turned into a real challenge. I found myself spending more hours filtering through profiles than actually sourcing talent! Does this resonate with anyone else?

I’d love to hear how you’re managing this influx of invitations. Are you also finding it takes away precious time that could be better spent?

If you’re interested in what I’m currently working on, feel free to check out this link 👉 https://tally.so/r/nGoOAk – no pressure at all!

I’m in the early stages of brainstorming a potential solution, but I want to get a better grasp of your experiences first.

Thanks so much for your input!

Unfair dismissal?

Unfair Dismissal?

I joined this company as a senior leader in February of this year to assist in establishing a US entity, leveraging my extensive experience in the US market.

Over the past 10 months, I have successfully onboarded clients and became the second-highest biller in the company. However, the recent quarter has been challenging for the US renewable energy sector, resulting in reduced billings. I was let go, with management citing the unsustainability of this market and uncertainty about future results in the next 3-6 months.

I was not placed on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) or given any prior notice regarding this decision. To make matters worse, I was informed of my dismissal during a Teams call, even though we were scheduled to meet in person the following day. Is this a fair dismissal?

Edit:

I was hired in the UK (London) for a permanent position and have been working remotely in the US market. I entered the UK on a Tier 2 Skilled Worker Visa.

LinkedIn Recruiter Cost

LinkedIn Recruiter Pricing Inquiry

Quick Question: Does anyone know the monthly cost of LinkedIn Recruiter in GBP?

Hi everyone! I’ve been in recruitment for four years, progressing from a trainee to management roles while consistently billing throughout my career.

I’m excited to announce that I’m finally launching my own agency! As part of this process, I’ve been researching various tools and systems. Here’s my current tech stack:

  • Loxo
  • Dripify
  • SalesQL
  • G-Suite

I’m keen to add LinkedIn Recruiter to my toolkit, but I’m having trouble finding the pricing information. I’m looking for a single seat, ideally paid monthly, and in GBP.

Thanks in advance for any insights you can share!
