I’m trying to find out if there is a need for my skill set.

I’m exploring the demand for my skills.

Hi everyone! In the past, I’ve effectively utilized email marketing to set up sales calls for a friend’s agency. Through that experience, I gained valuable insights and decided to launch my own agency. I’m curious to know if there is a real need for lead generation services in today’s market. I’ve observed that the industry seems crowded with offers promising numerous clients with little to no payment upfront, which raises my skepticism.

My approach is different: I focus on generating high-quality leads who are not only genuinely interested in your services but also have the financial capability to invest. Moreover, my pricing model is performance-based. I would greatly appreciate any feedback or advice on this!

anyone experience with Huntly.ai?

Has anyone used Huntly.ai? I’m looking to earn some extra money while working from home in the Netherlands and stumbled upon a website called huntly.ai.

From what I gathered, Huntly.ai is a recruitment platform that connects tech recruiters with companies through a competition-based model, providing pre-screened candidates and charging fees only when a hire is made.

I’m curious if anyone has any experience with this platform or can share their thoughts on its legitimacy. It seems promising, but I’m hesitant to dive in without more information.

Impact of an NDA?

Understanding the Implications of an NDA

I would appreciate some insights regarding the effects of signing a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). I’m currently in search of a full-time position and considering an internship opportunity, but they require me to sign an NDA and a Confidentiality Agreement before any discussions can take place. I’m concerned about how this might impact my chances with other companies in the same industry. Can I confidently sign the NDA knowing it won’t hinder my ability to apply for full-time roles elsewhere in the same field? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Independent recruiters and small-sized agencies of the world! What’s the success fee and condition you offer your services with?

Hello to all independent recruiters and small agencies around the globe! I’m curious to know what success fees and terms you offer for your services.

I’ve recently launched my own recruitment agency in Hungary, collaborating with some former colleagues. This is primarily a part-time venture for us.

We’ve been fortunate enough to receive inquiries from companies based in Austria and Germany. However, we had to rely on rough estimates when crafting our service offers, as we’re not well-versed in the pricing of HR services in these regions.

Ultimately, we secured a contract with a German company, which will pay us 15% of the gross salary of the candidates we place for up to one year, with an initial 60-day warranty period. The roles we’re focusing on include electricians and mechanics.

So, did we strike a good deal compared to other HR providers in Germany, or have we simply positioned ourselves as a cheaper outsourcing option? 😄

I’d love to hear about recruitment fees in your countries!

Job after PhD

Navigating Post-PhD Job Opportunities

Hello everyone,

I’m reaching out to the professional recruiters and talent acquisition specialists for some guidance. I’m currently based in Denmark and completed my PhD in organizational behavior in December 2021. While I’m still engaged in research and teaching at the university, I also bring about six years of industry experience in HR and recruitment from my pre-PhD career.

I’m eager to transition back into an HR-related role within the industry. I’m open to starting in a support position, as my goal is to grow and evolve within an organization. Despite applying for various roles over the past year, responses have been minimal. It seems that I may be struggling to demonstrate my value due to the absence of recent practical experience, and companies may be unsure how to leverage my PhD and research background.

I would greatly appreciate any tips or strategies to help me secure interviews. Do recruiters prioritize motivational letters in their assessments these days? Is it advisable to reach out with unsolicited applications?

Thank you in advance for any insights you can share!

Is internal recruitment dead?

Is internal recruitment on the decline?
I’m considering transitioning from agency recruitment to an internal role, but I’ve heard that the internal recruitment market is struggling. What’s the reason behind this? Am I making a big mistake?

To provide some context, the company I’m joining is expanding and has created a new position within their recruitment team that I’ll be stepping into.

Temps placements and the figures first 9 months

Temporary Placements and Metrics from My First 9 Months

I work at a temp agency in Ireland specializing in construction. In my first nine months, I’ve successfully placed 85 temporary workers and secured 2 permanent positions. Is this figure typical for someone in their initial nine months in temporary placements? I come from a background in permanent positions within the same industry.

Am I the “Plan B”?

Am I Just the “Plan B”?

I’m looking for insights from seasoned recruiters.

I applied for a position over a month ago and received a call from the internal recruiter, who stated that my skills and experience were a perfect fit for the role.

Here’s a breakdown of the interview process I went through:

1. First Interview: I spoke with a junior manager and an HR rep. I felt it went reasonably well.

2. Online Assessment: I believe I didn’t perform as well as I hoped.

3. Second Interview: I met with the hiring manager and again felt it went decently.

After these steps, I experienced a week of silence. Initially, it was supposed to be a two-stage interview process, but the recruiter then informed me they wanted to schedule an informal chat with the director instead. When I asked if any other candidates had reached this stage, the recruiter confirmed that none had.

The chat with the director lasted about 10 minutes. He asked me general questions related to the role, and while I felt I did OK, I think I could have done better.

After three days of silence, I reached out to the recruiter, who called back to explain that they were finalizing details and that he would be handing off the process to his team while he went on leave.

Now that the long holiday weekend has ended, I’ve still received no updates, and I’m starting to feel anxious. I can’t shake the thought that I might just be a backup option in case their preferred candidate declines the offer. Is this a common practice in the industry? How likely is it that I’m in this situation?

Thanks for your thoughts!
