Are there any firms in the NYC/CT area that are currently hiring?
I’m an experienced recruiter with three years of successful placements and have been recognized in the President’s Club each year. I’m interested in finding a retained firm that focuses solely on the candidate side of recruiting. While I’ve done 360 recruitment, my passion lies in job fulfillment rather than sales. Any insights would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
I would appreciate your assistance in preparing for my Gulfstream interview.

CRM Recruitment Agency Update
We’re currently utilizing JobAdder, and while it’s been effective so far, we’re finding its lack of user permission settings to be a significant concern as we grow. We’re considering a transition to RecruitCRM and would love to hear from anyone who has experience with their platform. Are there any important aspects we should consider before making this switch?
Closing Candidates as a Recruiter
Hi everyone,
As a Tech Recruitment Lead, I often struggle with the challenge of closing candidates when they have multiple offers on the table. A common situation I encounter is when a candidate receives our offer but indicates they’re waiting on another company’s response and requests additional time to decide—often a week or more. This raises a red flag for me, yet I find it difficult to navigate the situation, especially when it involves salary negotiations.
I’d love to hear your successful strategies for closing candidates. How do you typically handle situations where they have competing offers or better compensation elsewhere? Looking forward to your insights!
Hello everyone,
I’m considering a career in recruitment and would love to hear some genuine insights from professionals in the field.
Currently, I work shifts and weekends, so the prospect of a 9-5 schedule is quite appealing for achieving better structure and work-life balance. I believe I have several transferable skills that would be beneficial in this role.
I have a few questions:
– How often do you find yourself bringing work home, or is the 9-5 routine generally upheld?
– What are the realistic earning expectations in this field, beyond the figures often highlighted in job advertisements?
– Do you find the work enjoyable? Is it stressful? Also, any recommendations for recruitment companies in the North West? I’m based in Warrington and can easily commute to Manchester or Liverpool.
I’m really just looking for an honest perspective on the job rather than a sales pitch!
Thank you!
Exploring Fixed-Term Recruiting Contracts
I am currently seeking new opportunities after the conclusion of my previous contract role. The job market has been challenging, but I’ve remained determined. I’ve noticed an increase in fixed-term contract positions being offered by employers such as Meta. Should candidates consider prioritizing these roles over full-time employment? It’s worth noting that fixed-term contracts often offer higher pay and typically include the same benefits as full-time positions. What are your thoughts on this?
What is the purpose of a warm call?
I typically connect with clients via email, and those who show interest tend to respond. Once they do reply, I’m unsure of the next steps I should take. I usually hop on a call to discuss the job details and bring up my fees. I’ve learned that the goal is to identify their pain points and demonstrate how I can address them. However, I’ve noticed that even when clients express interest, they often don’t follow through, and getting them to sign a contract feels nearly impossible. I understand that this is a numbers game, but why would someone take the time to speak with a recruiter, mention that they work with agencies and need assistance, and express satisfaction with the fees, yet not sign when the contract is sent?
I feel like I might be missing something in this process, and I would greatly appreciate any insights or advice.
Has anyone else noticed that October and November tend to be quieter months for recruitment agencies? It seems like the industry has hit a bit of a standstill when it comes to new roles. I’m interested to hear if other agencies are experiencing the same slowdown.
Are there any JobAdder users in this group? I’m curious to hear if you’re utilizing any Add-Ons and how they’re working for you.
We currently stick with the standard JobAdder and a few basic/free add-ons. We’re frequently receiving pitches for new features through Add-Ons, but many don’t seem to justify the cost at first glance.
In particular, we’re considering the Candidate Portal and JobAdder Analytics, but we’re uncertain if they’ll deliver real value for our small team. Would love to hear your experiences!
