How do you guys get data of businesses?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for advice on how to gather data about businesses that are hiring. As a recruitment agency based in San Jose, I specialize in providing offshore remote IT staff to companies across California, focusing on skills like Salesforce, ServiceNow, cybersecurity, and Workday.

I’m interested in identifying which companies are currently hiring for these roles so I can reach out to them and assist with their staffing needs. Is there any tool you recommend for acquiring this data, or what approaches have you found effective?

I appreciate any insights you can share! Thank you!

Nirvana mechanical. What is the deal? Nothing about it seems legit.

Nirvana Mechanical – what’s the real story here? Something feels off. I’ve seen several job postings from them on LinkedIn, but they only list three employees, with the sole active one lacking a profile picture. A quick Google search reveals a sparse Squarespace site for a plumbing service. The only other information I could find about the company is on get.it, and it doesn’t seem credible. What motivates non-legitimate “recruitment” agencies to advertise jobs that appear to be fake? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Recruiting as an active

Feeling a bit overwhelmed about the upcoming recruitment in just a few days. Our head of recruitment hasn’t been very clear in communicating information or particularly organized, so I’m concerned about potentially mishandling the process or saying the wrong thing. Does anyone have any advice or tips to help me navigate this?

Applying to your own role

Considering Applying for Your Own Position
Is this a silly question? If you were an agency recruiter handling a role that you think you’re a great fit for and are genuinely interested in, would you be allowed to submit your own CV?

AI in recruitment

AI in Recruitment

Has anyone experienced AI conducting real interviews? I’m curious to hear your thoughts or any experiences you’ve had with AI in the recruitment process!

Are recruiters getting worse at sales in your team as well?

Are recruiters in your team struggling with sales as well?

I’m curious because I’ve been in the tech industry for a decade. While I know the market is tough right now, I’m wondering if people are facing more challenges due to a decline in their selling skills.

In my current workplace, the first four hours are eerily quiet as everyone focuses on crafting their emails. By the afternoon, the phone activity picks up, but it’s usually just 4-5 calls, and we operate in very niche markets.

Contrast that with a previous job where we were expected to make 50 cold calls a day. The atmosphere was electrifying—loud, competitive, and full of energy.

When I spoke to others in the industry, many mentioned that their companies have shifted to a quieter, more subdued approach to recruitment, as some staff members have reacted negatively to being pushed hard.

Is that the situation at your company? If not, how are you and your team performing?

I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Are Recruiters Using AI for LinkedIn Automation?

Are Recruiters Leveraging AI for LinkedIn Automation?

Hello everyone,

I’m eager to hear how many of you are utilizing AI and automation tools in your recruitment efforts, particularly on LinkedIn. With all the buzz about AI revolutionizing various sectors, I’m curious if it has found a place in our daily tasks, such as candidate sourcing and engagement.

Are any of you implementing AI-driven software for automating LinkedIn outreach, sourcing candidates, or even screening? If so, which tools are you using, and how have they influenced your workflow? Have you observed any notable improvements in efficiency, or faced any challenges along the way?

I’m especially keen to learn about specific AI tools that have significantly impacted your processes. Additionally, how do you maintain a personal touch in your communications with candidates while using automation?

One popular platform here in the Netherlands is SourceGeek.

I’m looking forward to hearing your insights and any recommendations you might share!

Thank you!

How to actually stand out in job postings and to recruiters? What’s actually working in these ATS systems?

How can you make your job application truly stand out to recruiters? What strategies are effective in navigating ATS systems?

Is it essential to keep your resume to just one page? Should you include a summary at the beginning? Will using a two-column format hurt your chances? And how can you effectively tailor your resume for each job posting?

I’ve noticed many people facing challenges and going through trial and error with their resumes. It often feels subjective, so I’m eager to know what works for others and what recruiters actually prioritize. What are the best practices?
