How do you relocate to another region as a recruiter?

Seeking Relocation Opportunities as a Recruiter

Hello everyone,

I’m currently a recruiter in Japan, working on end-to-end recruitment at a large international firm. Lately, I’ve been considering a move to Europe, but I’ve hit a few roadblocks with my company’s internal transfer program. The German offices require proficiency in German, and the AMS office seems uncertain about future openings.

I am fluent in Japanese at a business level and have native-level proficiency in both English and Chinese. I’m curious if any of your organizations are looking for someone with my skill set.

I have a strong track record in recruitment and, to be honest, I’m motivated by financial success, which drives my work ethic.

Since most of my clients are based in the EMEA region, I’d love the opportunity to transition my career there, if possible.

If you’ve been in a similar situation and successfully relocated to Europe, I would greatly appreciate your advice and insights.

Thank you!

Question around follow up etiquette

Inquiry About Follow-Up Etiquette

I completed an interview loop for a senior UX position at a prominent tech company a week ago. I promptly sent a thank-you note, which they replied to. Now, I’m curious about when it would be appropriate to reach out for an update. Is it acceptable to follow up with the recruiter after a week, or should I hold off for a bit longer?

Thoughts on a 17.5% Commission package?

Opinions on a 17.5% Commission Package?

Hello everyone,

As a relatively new startup, we’re excited to begin bringing in consultants now that our financial situation is looking strong.

We’re considering offering a competitive commission package of 17.5%, which would increase for those who achieve significantly higher billings. Our aim is to attract and retain top talent, and we noticed that the average commission in our industry falls between 12% and 15%. We wanted to stand out from the competition.

Are there any business owners or managers who see potential downsides to this approach (other than a slight reduction in company profits)?

I would really appreciate your thoughts and suggestions!

Very interested to hear how everyone is experiencing the market in the UK – if you believe people selling training courses, we are back to normal. I recruit for in-house tax (manager and above), and am yet to see this (outside of FS clients)

I’m eager to hear everyone’s thoughts on the current state of the UK market. Some claim that those selling training courses suggest we’ve returned to normal, but from my perspective—recruiting for in-house tax positions (manager level and above)—I haven’t observed this trend, except among financial services clients. What are your experiences?

Tech Agency Recruiters!!!

Attention Tech Agency Recruiters in London!

I’m looking for some insights from those in the field. How do you approach acquiring new clients outside of your industry? Is cold calling still relevant, or do cold email campaigns tend to be more effective? How do LinkedIn messages compare? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Seeking recommendations for essential tools and software for a one person recruitment firm.

Looking for Recommendations on Essential Tools and Software for My Solo Recruitment Firm

Hello everyone,

I’m excited to share that I’m starting a one-person recruitment firm and I’m reaching out for your recommendations on essential tools and software that can help me operate efficiently while keeping costs down. Here’s what I need assistance with:

1. Candidate Sourcing: I’m searching for tools that can help me find candidates across multiple platforms, not just LinkedIn.

2. Applicant Tracking System (ATS): I need an affordable ATS with basic features to store candidate resumes and a solid search function for future opportunities. I prefer to keep candidate engagement more personal, so I don’t need extensive engagement features.

3. Cold Calling Tools: I’m looking for an economical alternative to ZoomInfo that doesn’t require a long-term contract. Since I rely heavily on cold calling, I need a tool that can provide phone numbers and emails.

4. Email Marketing: I’m interested in finding a more cost-effective solution than Mailchimp.

Previously, I’ve utilized LinkedIn Premium (with unlimited InMails), an AI automation tool for LinkedIn outreach, various job boards, ChatGPT, and an internal ATS. My business predominantly operates through LinkedIn, and I plan on using Recruiter Lite and LinkedIn Business. My focus is on tech roles in a candidate-driven market, so I don’t receive many applications from job postings; however, I will use a local job portal for some candidate sourcing and make two job postings monthly.

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions you have for tools that meet my requirements!

Thanks in advance!

Should I negotiate?

Should I negotiate my job offer?

I just received a job offer that reflects the highest salary I mentioned at the start of the interview process. However, after gaining more insight into the role’s responsibilities, I feel that I may have undervalued myself by approximately 10%. Since the salary range wasn’t listed in the job posting, I can’t directly reference it for comparison. Do you think it’s worth trying to negotiate? If so, what would be the best way to initiate this conversation or follow up via email?

Best ATS

Seeking Recommendations for Top ATS

Hi everyone,

I’m in need of some guidance. As a startup with a small team of 8, I’m looking for an applicant tracking system (ATS) that has a modern user interface and offers a range of features such as automations, kanban view, self-scheduling, one-way video interviews, and SMS integration. Ideally, I would love to see WhatsApp integration and an iOS app as well.

I previously tried Teamtailor and really liked it, but I was put off by the branding on outgoing emails and scheduling invitations that included “powered by Teamtailor.”

If you have any recommendations, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
