Reaching Out to Candidates on LinkedIn

I’ve recently taken on a new role that focuses primarily on using LinkedIn to identify and connect with candidates. My goal is to schedule two calls per day with the hiring manager.

In my experience, I’ve noticed that candidates often take a considerable amount of time to respond to LinkedIn messages, whether they’re InMails or connection requests. I’ve even had instances where candidates reply a month after the initial outreach!

I’m looking for any tips, strategies, techniques, or useful web extensions/apps that could help improve response times.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions!

To Stay or Move On?

I’ve been in my IT role for almost three years now. I started with a salary of £48k, working mostly on my own. Since then, the company has grown nearly threefold, and I’ve implemented a lot of infrastructure that I manage. My salary has increased to around £58k, and I’ve recently taken on a recent graduate to help with daily tasks, which I also oversee.

Lately, I’ve been contemplating asking for a promotion and a salary of £70k, but I’m hesitant. I worry that my request might not be approved, which could reveal my dissatisfaction and lead them to anticipate my departure. The job market is quite tough right now, and I’m not keen on contracting. I’ve been feeling a bit less motivated and losing my spark, and a promotion would certainly help reignite my passion.

Has anyone ever pretended to have another job offer as leverage to negotiate for what they want?

Subject: Questioning the Legitimacy of a WFH Job Offer

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share my experience with a potential work-from-home job and get your thoughts on it. I was contacted by someone from Impact Recruitment about a job opportunity where I would rate movies. They asked if I was over 23 years old to proceed, and then a representative from the company reached out to me via WhatsApp.

The job offers a pay of CAD 674 for 5 days of work, plus commission, with no formal interview process. I was quickly directed to a website to register and start training. When I inquired about the legitimacy of the position, the recruiter provided the company’s head office address and mentioned that the company is listed on an official UK government website.

Additionally, she called me and assured me that she wouldn’t work with them if they weren’t legitimate, and she wouldn’t recommend it to others if it wasn’t credible. The job requires at least one hour of work per day, but the pay seems unusually high for the amount of time involved.

Does this sound like a scam to anyone? I would appreciate any insights or experiences you might have. Thank you!

Seeking Guidance on Sales and Marketing Recruitment for a Tech Company in the US

Hi everyone,

I’m new to posting on Reddit, although I’ve been a long-time user. I decided to create an account to seek some advice regarding recruitment for sales and marketing professionals for a small tech company.

Should I focus on candidates with experience in tech sales, marketing, or a combination of both? Are there any databases available for purchase that cater to these roles? Additionally, if you know of any specialized agencies or recruiters (preferably ones that are budget-friendly), that would be incredibly helpful!

I’ve tried using Upwork, but the quality of candidates has been quite disappointing; most just submit CVs without any proper vetting. My friend doesn’t want an hourly rate either.

He runs a small tech firm in New Jersey and is looking to build a robust sales and marketing team from the ground up, primarily focusing on hiring marketers for now, with plans to add salespeople in the future. Experience in tech or software industries is a definite plus.

Any tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Excited to make my first post here! 😊 By the way, if you have suggestions on where else I could share this on Reddit, I’d love to hear them. THANK YOU!

EDIT: I just want to give a huge thank you to everyone for the advice! I’ve learned a lot! Interestingly, I found an agency on LinkedIn that specializes precisely in what we need—sales and marketing professionals for the tech and software industries. We signed a contract with them three days ago, and so far, things are going really well. If anyone is interested in their contact information, feel free to DM me. I hesitate to post their details here to avoid coming across as promotional, but I’d definitely recommend them!

EDIT 2: Hey everyone! I’ve noticed a lot of you trying to reach out, but I’m having trouble opening your messages. I can see the notifications, but I can’t access the content yet. Since there seems to be a lot of curiosity about the agency I mentioned, I’ll go ahead and share their name here: it’s “Polyglot Talent.” If you decide to reach out to them, please mention my name, Sam. Thank you! 😊

Transitioning from 360 to 270 Recruitment

Hello everyone! I have an exciting opportunity on the table to join another company in a 270 recruitment role. This position would involve managing client relationships, discussing job specifications, delivering suitable candidates, and facilitating successful placements on both sides.

The compensation structure includes a commission of up to 15% for any monthly billing over £24,000, with a commission of around 10-12% for amounts below that. The base salary offered is approximately £35,000, and the company aims to expand into the EU and US markets in the future.

Currently, I work at a large agency focused on public sector roles, while this opportunity is in the private tech sector.

I would really appreciate hearing your thoughts on whether this is a role you would pursue.

Thank you!

Recruitment Connection Request

Good evening everyone,

I’m reaching out to connect with UK-based recruiters who are thriving in their careers.

With just 11 months left until I transition out of the British Army, I am committed to pursuing a career in recruitment. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to chat with someone who is already a recruitment consultant, to gain insights into the industry and advice on how to best prepare for this path.

I’m currently taking evening courses to enhance my skills and am focused on refining my CV to increase my chances of securing a great position. I possess strong communication skills, motivation, and a solid work ethic, which I believe will serve me well in this field.

My goal is to make a strong impression during the interview process in a few months. If anyone is willing to share their expertise or offer guidance, I would be incredibly grateful to hear from you.

Thank you in advance for your support!

Best,
Matt.

Acquisition Opportunity in Recruitment

I’m seeking to purchase another recruitment firm. I’ve had positive experiences in the past and would love to connect with any recruiters who are considering selling their business.

If you’re interested, please send me a message. I’m based in the US, so most transactions will likely take place here, but I’m open to exploring options internationally as well.

I’ve already been prequalified with the bank for SBA financing, and I’m eager to move forward with an acquisition, even in this challenging market.

Feel free to DM me if you’d like to discuss this opportunity further!
