BrassRing/Lever ATS experience

Seeking Insights on BrassRing and Lever ATS

I’m currently consulting for a mid-sized food and beverage operation that hires around 1,000 to 1,500 employees annually. They’re not using an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) at the moment and are considering a couple of options: BrassRing and Lever.

I would appreciate any information regarding BrassRing’s pricing, as Lever’s pricing is much more transparent. I’d prefer to avoid going through extensive sales demos at this stage. Thank you!

BD Data

BD Data

Does anyone know of a free or very low-cost tool for finding client phone numbers/emails?

I’m also looking for a way to upload client information from LinkedIn to Bullhorn.

Something similar to Lusha might work!

My company isn’t willing to cover the costs, so I may need to find a personal solution.

Thanks!

P.S. I’m based in the UK.

starting Physician Recruitment agency

Launching a Physician Recruitment Agency

I recently launched my own physician recruitment agency and I’m eager to connect with others who have either started their own or are considering it. I’d love to engage in discussions about the early stages of this journey, including topics like necessary licenses, client acquisition strategies, and how to attract physicians. Any insights, resources, or advice you could share would be greatly appreciated!

UK Recruitment Market

UK Recruitment Market Insights

Hi everyone! I wanted to reach out to gather some insights on the current state of the recruitment market in the UK. I’ve been in the recruitment field for nearly five years now, and I’ve been self-employed for just over a year. While my first year as a freelancer went relatively well, I’m finding this second year to be quite slow and uncertain.

I’ve noticed a few articles discussing the potential for a recession, and I’ve spoken with several colleagues who are also struggling to secure new roles, whether they’re for junior or senior positions. I’d really appreciate any feedback or thoughts you might have on the current market situation.

Thanks in advance! 🙂

Is it appropriate to follow up with a thank-you email after a first interview? I’d like to express my gratitude to the panel and provide further detail on some of my responses. What do you think?

Keeping a healthy hiring pipeline

Maintaining a Robust Hiring Pipeline

As a small, remote-first digital marketing agency, we frequently recruit for various Paid Growth and Performance Marketing positions, and our requirements are constantly evolving. We don’t typically work with recruiting agencies; instead, we mainly rely on job postings and sourcing talent via LinkedIn. I’d love to hear from the community—what are your best practices for keeping a strong candidate pipeline ready for when we need to hire? Thank you!

How to deal with “walk-ins”?

Managing Walk-Ins: Seeking Solutions

I’m looking for advice on how to handle walk-in inquiries at our office.

In the past, before the rise of online platforms, it was common for candidates to visit us in person to register for opportunities. Fast forward to today, and many still view agencies primarily as career guidance services rather than as providers for our clients.

Nowadays, we see around a dozen individuals visiting our office daily for consultations. It’s becoming increasingly overwhelming, and I’ve even considered removing our branding from the building. We have a sign that clearly states we do not accommodate walk-ins, directing prospective candidates to our website for available positions or encouraging them to email or upload their CVs to our database.

While we definitely want to be courteous and kind, we also need to find a more efficient way to manage these unannounced visits. A lot of the time, we encounter individuals searching for “any job,” but unfortunately, we cannot assist them directly.

I’m open to any suggestions or strategies on how to better manage this situation. Thanks in advance!

ATS/CRM

ATS/CRM Recommendations Needed!

I recently started my own firm and am on the lookout for an ATS/CRM system. Having previously worked at a large firm, I’m now transitioning to a solo role focused on Business Development and Recruitment. I’m not particularly impressed with Loxo and am considering options like RecruiterFlow or Crelate.

I would love to hear your suggestions! I’ve noticed that the pricing for these systems is quite similar.
