What are the best ways to scrape leads?

Looking for effective strategies to scrape leads? I’ve seen several inquiries in this group regarding the best methods, so I wanted to share one approach I’ve found useful:

1. Begin by creating a list using LinkedIn Sales Navigator, then export that list to PhantomBuster.

2. Next, utilize Anymailfinder to gather the email addresses, resulting in a comprehensive list of leads.

3. Finally, consider employing a third-party automation tool to organize all the personal information. You can also leverage AI to craft customized opening lines for each lead, ensuring you have a personalized touch ready for your cold calls or emails. This has truly transformed my outreach efforts!

If you have any questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask!

Digital health recruitment agency to digital health consultancy

Transitioning from a Digital Health Recruitment Agency to a Consultancy

With 8 years of experience as a Digital Health recruitment consultant, and strong billing performance over the past 5 years — including a year in management — I have been offered a position as a Client Account Manager at a Digital Health Consultancy. I’m curious to hear if anyone has made a similar transition (even outside of digital health) from recruitment to consulting, and what insights you might have on this move. I genuinely enjoy my current role in recruitment, but given my specialization in Digital Health, this opportunity is quite appealing and too significant to overlook.

Aptitude Testing websites and services

Seeking Aptitude Testing Websites and Services

Hello everyone,

I’m currently overseeing the recruitment process for a specific role and I’m on the lookout for reliable aptitude tests that assess logic, mechanical reasoning, communication skills, and similar traits.

The platforms I’ve come across have astronomical prices (around $1200 annually). While they do offer a variety of tests, my needs are much more limited—I only require testing for about 8 candidates a couple of times a year.

Does anyone know of services that provide tests on a per candidate or per test basis? I’m more than willing to pay for individual tests, but the subscription model of services like Test Monkey isn’t feasible for our situation.

Thank you for any suggestions!

Why did you choose to MBO rather than set up yourself?

Why did you opt for an MBO instead of starting your own business?

Hello! I’m eager to connect with recruitment business owners who chose the Management Buyout (MBO) path rather than launching their own venture. What factors influenced your decision, and how do you feel about that choice now?

I’m also interested in hearing from those who had the opportunity to pursue an MBO but decided to go in a different direction.

Thank you!

When to resign?

When’s the Right Time to Resign?

I’ve been working as a tech recruiter in Dubai for three years, and I recently accepted an offer from a global firm. However, my start date has been delayed due to my travel plans.

I haven’t officially resigned yet because I expect I might be placed on garden leave, even though I have a two-month notice period.

I’m on annual leave from December 1-7 and will receive my pay on December 1, which means I want to collect my commission before resigning; otherwise, I won’t be eligible for it.

I’m considering submitting my resignation when I return to work on December 9. However, I’m uncertain about the handover period since, legally, it can be up to two months. This timeline feels risky because I’ve already informed the new employer that I’d be joining by the end of December. Typically, people transition to competitors within just a few days or a week.

I’d appreciate any thoughts or advice on how to navigate this situation!

Unified Candidate Database, is this a thing?

Is a Unified Candidate Database a Reality?

I recently spoke with a friend who works as an HR Manager at a company with around 400 employees in the IT and tech development sector. They mentioned that their organization uses a “Unified Candidate Database” and shares it with other companies in the industry. However, I’m not clear whether it’s shared with just a handful of companies or over a hundred.

Has anyone else encountered a similar database?

Is my manager/company able to see the search strings I use on LinkedIn Recruiter?

Can my manager or company view the search strings I’ve used on LinkedIn Recruiter?

On my main page, there’s a history of the search strings I’ve entered along with timestamps. Are these search records private to me, or can my employer also access them? I suspect this is tied to the corporate license. Thanks for your help!
