Subject: Inquiry About Billing Practices in Recruitment

Hi everyone,

I’m new to the recruitment field and looking to gather some insights. I have a strong database of candidates and am exploring how to structure my business. For those of you who run your own recruitment agencies, could you share what billing practices you typically use when successfully placing a candidate? Do you charge a percentage of the candidate’s salary, a standard fee, a retainer, or something else?

Just to clarify, my focus is on medical recruitment, so any insights specific to this area would be especially helpful. Thank you for your help!

Does anyone have insights on this company? I’ve noticed their attrition rate is at 46%, which raises some red flags for me. Additionally, their Glassdoor reviews are quite poor. I’m interested in hearing from anyone who has experience recruiting for them.

Is it okay for the recruiter to ask for my date of birth ? And did I lose my chances of getting interviewed as I was hesitant to give it out?

Is it common practice for recruiters to request my date of birth? Am I jeopardizing my chances for an interview because I hesitated to provide it?

Update: Two weeks later, I’m feeling a bit ghosted… mixed emotions 🤣😞, but mostly disappointed.

For context, this recruiter is based in the EU, where regulations might differ. We had a great initial screening call, and I felt positive about the interaction. However, they followed up later asking for my date of birth. They explained that it was needed to complete my application in their system and that they couldn’t proceed without this information.

I was hesitant to share it and asked if the role required a specific age range, but they assured me that wasn’t the case. Eventually, I sent it but expressed my discomfort.

Now I’m wondering if my hesitation has hurt my chances of landing an interview. Did my reluctance make me seem untrusting? Could my age potentially be held against me for this corporate role?

[UK] What is the current state of recruitment software in this sector?

[UK] What’s the Current Landscape of Recruitment Software?

As a software developer with over ten years of experience, I’ve been involved in creating tailored software solutions for recruitment agencies. I’m considering developing a multi-tenant recruitment software platform that can be licensed to agencies, supporting both temporary and permanent placements, along with features like invoicing, bulk communications, calendar integration, and more.

I’m curious about the current state of the software market in this sector. Is there a significant demand for improved software that can serve as a primary management tool for agencies and consultants? How do the leading licensed software options stack up? Are there specific companies that are recognized as industry leaders when agencies seek a management solution?

I’m looking to assess whether this concept is worth pursuing.

What do I do?

What should I do?

I joined a company aimed at expanding into the US renewable energy market, and I’ve been in my role as VP for six months now. Unfortunately, I feel like I’ve hit a wall. It’s been incredibly challenging to connect with new clients, and my billings have only reached $110k during my time here.

I’m feeling a bit drained and want to make sure I don’t let my employer down. What are my next steps?

Filipino applying for a job in the US

Filipino Job Seeker in the U.S.

Hi everyone! I’m currently awaiting my marriage-based work authorization here in the U.S. and wanted to gather some insights on how American employers might perceive my qualifications. I’m especially curious about whether they would consider my experience on par with what I had in the Philippines. If anyone has faced a similar situation—employers or employees alike—I would appreciate your insights.

To share a bit about my background: I have a solid career in the Philippines, where I served as the Vice President of Compliance for an international bank (Wells Fargo). Before that, I held senior leadership positions at several other international banks. While I performed the same duties as my U.S. peers, I’m concerned that my experience may not be viewed as valuable here, and I might be pushed to apply for more junior roles instead.

If anyone could shed light on the general hiring culture in the U.S., I would be very grateful. Thank you in advance!

Can a high school graduated work in Malaysia?

Can a high school graduate work in Malaysia?

Hi everyone, my boyfriend has received a job offer as an IT technician in Kuala Lumpur with a 3-year contract and a salary of RM15,000 per month. The issue is that he only graduated from high school and doesn’t have any formal course certifications or reference letters from previous employers, as he has only done freelance work. Is it possible for him to obtain a work visa? Thanks in advance!
