How do I efficiently screen thousands of resumes?

Efficiently screening thousands of resumes can be a daunting task. I recently went through the process of shortlisting candidates and found the experience with tools like Rippling and Workable quite frustrating. Their basic filtering options and lack of advanced skill and industry-specific search capabilities left much to be desired.

So, how can we tackle this challenge effectively? I’m eager to discover methods that can help identify the right candidates without the need to sift through countless resumes manually—especially since I worry about overlooking potential fits. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Recruitment or B2b sales? UK

Choosing Between Recruitment and B2B Sales in the UK

As I approach my graduation this summer, I’m eager to start my career in sales. However, I’m finding it challenging to decide between a recruitment career and a more traditional sales position in sectors like tech or finance.

Could anyone share their insights on which path might offer better earning potential, flexibility for working from home, and overall work-life balance? Your recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Is TERN Group legit?

Is TERN Group a legitimate company?

I recently discovered TERN Group, which presents itself as an AI-driven marketplace for healthcare recruitment and immigration. They claim to connect skilled professionals from India, North Africa, Jordan, Morocco, and South Africa with healthcare systems in countries like the UK, Germany, and the US.

TERN Group states that they offer comprehensive support for healthcare professionals seeking to relocate and work internationally. While their branding and services seem quite impressive, it almost sounds too good to be true. I’d love to hear from anyone who has direct experience with them. Have you or someone you know ever worked with TERN Group? Are they trustworthy? Thank you!

Feedback and update on process

Update on the hiring process: I just received an invitation from the hiring manager for a call to discuss “feedback on the process so far.” Could this be a polite way to inform me that I didn’t get the job?

Fast growing RPO in The Netherlands, why in’t this model talked about more?

Exploring the Fast-Growing RPO Concept in the Netherlands: Why Isn’t It More Widely Discussed?

Hello everyone,

I operate a unique RPO agency in the Netherlands, distinct from conventional recruitment practices. Instead of charging traditional recruitment fees, we function as a white-label extension of our clients. Our service integrates sourcing, job marketing, and employer branding into a comprehensive monthly package. Our goal is to transform companies into talent magnets rather than merely filling positions.

We’ve experienced rapid growth, reaching about $1M ARR, likely due to the competitive nature of the Dutch job market. Many companies find it challenging to attract talent, and our model provides a structured, predictable solution.

Currently, we’re looking to take our services international. We’re already managing campaigns for clients in Germany, Canada, the US, and other European countries, but I notice that this innovative approach isn’t widely talked about beyond the Netherlands. I’m eager to hear from professionals in different markets:

• Is there a demand for a more structured, marketing-focused RPO model in your region?

• Are there agencies offering similar services, perhaps under a different name or branding?

• Do cultural or structural differences in hiring (like agency reliance, employer branding spend, or regulations) pose challenges for implementing this model elsewhere?

• What hiring model is predominant in your market? Do companies lean towards in-house teams, contingency recruiters, or traditional RPOs?

• If you’ve attempted a similar model, what obstacles did you encounter in gaining traction?

I invite insights from recruiters, agency leaders, and hiring managers from various regions. Does this approach hold promise outside the Netherlands, or is there something distinct about our market that drives its success?

Recruiting BDM compensation?

Subject: Seeking Insights on BDM Compensation

Hello everyone,

I hope it’s alright to post this here. If not, please let me know, and I’ll gladly remove it.

I’m curious about the compensation structure for an Account Manager/Business Development Manager (BDM) positioned within a small, niche agency that focuses solely on permanent placements under a contingency model. Specifically, I’d like to know the typical base salary for this role, as well as what a reasonable target income and annual revenue quota might look like.

We’re considering a candidate with industry experience and around three years as an agency Account Manager. Our agency operates at the management, key support, and executive levels, and our model is somewhat unique. This individual will be responsible for receiving orders, which they will then pass on to our recruiters who handle client intake, candidate sourcing, and reference checks. The AM/BDM’s primary duties will include acquiring and qualifying orders, negotiating fees, maintaining client relationships, and managing any complex billing or contractual issues.

We tend to receive a high volume of organic orders for the AM/BDM to manage, so while it’s crucial for them to ensure our current clients are satisfied and that those orders are handled promptly, we also require a strong emphasis on hunting for new clients.

I would greatly appreciate any insights or comments you might have on this topic. Thank you!

Recruiting Nurses for International Placements – Where to Find Candidates?

Seeking Nurses for International Opportunities – Where Can I Find Candidates?

Hello everyone! 👋

I’m launching a headhunting business focused on connecting nurses who are interested in international relocation for work. With the ongoing global nursing shortage, various countries such as the UK, Canada, Spain, and Germany are eager to hire nurses from overseas. My mission is to pair qualified nurses with these exciting opportunities.

I’m reaching out to see if anyone has recommendations for databases or platforms where experienced nurses seeking international roles can be found. Are there any specific websites, forums, or networks that cater to nurses looking to move abroad?

And if you’re a nurse on the lookout for overseas opportunities, I’d love for you to connect as well! 😊

Thank you in advance for your valuable insights!
