Attracting new clients at job fairs?
Are job fairs an effective venue for acquiring new clients for your recruitment agency? Has anyone had success with this approach? I’m new to the industry, and I find it a bit uncomfortable to market myself when everyone is watching. I’d love to hear your opinions on this!
Has anyone here hired developers from the CIS or Central Asia? I’m curious about your experiences!
With remote hiring on the rise, I’ve noticed more companies exploring talent from CIS countries like Ukraine and Kazakhstan, as well as Central Asian nations such as Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. Some argue that these areas are a hidden treasure trove of skilled engineers at competitive rates, while others raise concerns about factors like time zone differences, language barriers, and contract complexities.
I’d love to hear from those who have worked with developers from these regions. What was your experience? What were the major benefits and drawbacks? Would you consider hiring from there again?
Looking forward to your insights!

If you had the chance to travel back in time…
Many individuals often find themselves in recruitment somewhat by chance. Once they get the hang of it, they tend to earn a substantial income relatively quickly, often surpassing their peers. As a result, even if recruitment isn’t their passion, the financial rewards can make it difficult to walk away.
So, my question is: if you could revisit your younger self, would you recommend against pursuing a career in recruitment? If your answer is yes, why? What alternative path would you suggest instead?
How detrimental is it to withdraw and resubmit an application?
I mistakenly submitted an outdated resume that lacks some important keywords the employer is likely looking for. If I decide to withdraw and resubmit my application, will that raise any red flags? My previous application included two soft skills that I didn’t mention this time, and I’ve heard that the company uses AI to filter out resumes that don’t match the required skills—skills I do have on my updated resume. Is this a risk worth taking?

Attention Recruiters: Your Feedback Needed!
I hope it’s alright to reach out here.
I’m seeking your guidance on how to carve out a niche for myself in the remote freelance writing market, especially in this era of AI advancements like GPT.
I bring over ten years of experience as a trained journalist and marketing writer, with expertise in various fields such as SaaS, FinTech (particularly bank digitization), PropTech, remittances, AgriTech, business and medical devices, as well as robotics and large language models. Recently, I’ve focused on deepening my understanding of GenAI marketing.
My client portfolio spans three countries and includes well-known organizations like Google, Uber, AWS, several UAE and Asian think tanks, as well as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. I’ve contributed columns to numerous trade journals, and while I have less experience with popular magazines, I hold a Master’s in Philosophy and a PhD in Research Psychology/Behavioral Neuroscience. Additionally, I possess certifications in SEO/SEM, multimedia marketing, copywriting, and cybersecurity, along with training in sales.
One of my notable contributions is the creation of the “Deep Web Method,” an innovative evidence-based program aimed at helping clients uncover hidden leads.
My strengths lie in creative writing, although I am versatile across all genres.
With your expertise, I’d love to know:
– How can I effectively differentiate myself in this AI-driven landscape?
– Which industries might find my skills valuable?
– What qualifications should I emphasize or downplay on my resume?
Thank you in advance for your insights!
Should I Disclose My Situation? (UK)
I started working as an Account Manager for a tech company in January 2024, and I initially loved it. However, things took a turn about six months in when my territory was eliminated in July 2024, just seven months after I joined.
Around that time, I was approached by a small startup and decided to explore the opportunity. From our initial conversations, it seemed like a fantastic fit! The mission was inspiring, the schedule was appealing, the pay was competitive, and the team was great. I was thrilled and made the switch.
However, I soon discovered that the OTE was unrealistic, the schedule they promised didn’t match my contract (I’m working significantly more), and the role isn’t as fulfilling as I expected… I realize now that I made a mistake!
I’m planning to leave this company, which means I’ll have seven months of experience from my previous job followed by two months at this one before I depart.
I’ve been interviewing with several new companies and am in the final stages with three of them. I haven’t mentioned my current full-time job yet, since I’ve only been there for two months.
Will they find out? Could I risk losing an offer if they do? What are the chances of facing consequences?
I’m feeling really anxious about this!
