UK recruiters looking to hire in Germany: Is a GmbH necessary?
My company doesn’t have a GmbH and we’re currently seeking to fill contract positions in Germany.
We’ve encountered numerous companies that are hesitant to engage with UK businesses on a contractual basis, forcing us to rely on payroll providers, which is quite frustrating.
So, is establishing a GmbH a must when recruiting in Germany?
Security Question
I’m a general practitioner seeking job opportunities in the UAE through online applications. I’ve come across a website that requests I upload a copy of my passport during the registration process. Is this safe, or are there potential risks involved?
Seeking Recommendations for New Staffing Software
Hello everyone,
I work at a CDL driver staffing agency and am currently looking for a new applicant tracking system (ATS) and payroll software to replace our existing COATS system.
While COATS effectively organizes candidates, employees, and clients and includes payroll capabilities, its integration with our other tools is lacking. This often leads to inefficient processes, as we find ourselves copying and pasting data between systems.
I’ve done some research on alternatives like Bullhorn and Avionté, but I’m still searching for software that meets our specific needs for ATS, payroll, and seamless integration.
I would greatly appreciate any insights or recommendations you may have!
Thank you!
Seeking ATS/CRM Recommendations
Hello everyone,
I’ve spent quite a bit of time digging through posts and doing my own research, but I’m having trouble finding a software solution that meets the specific needs of my startup contract staffing agency in the life sciences sector.
My partner and I have experience with various platforms, and interestingly, some of our favorites were proprietary systems like eRecruit and Compass. Currently, we’re using Recruit CRM based on recommendations, but we’ve realized it lacks a separate lead pipeline, which is essential for our contract staffing approach.
I could really use your help in identifying an integrated ATS/CRM that includes the following features (and fingers crossed, something out there meets these criteria):
I know this is quite an extensive ask, but I’m hopeful that someone here might have insights or suggestions. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Executive Recruitment – Sourcing, Research, and Events
Hello everyone! I’ve noticed a lot of discussions around Executive Search in this community, and I have a specific question I’d love some input on. My background is primarily in tech recruitment, but I’ve transitioned into our internal executive search function this year, where we aim to fill around 40-50 VP/SVP+ positions annually across various business sectors, utilizing a blend of retained firms and internal sourcing/referrals.
Currently, apart from partnering with retained firms, we heavily rely on LinkedIn for sourcing candidates, but we lack sufficient data to guide our decisions regarding compensation and tools aimed at attracting diverse talent, a key objective for 2025. I understand that executive search often leans on networking and staying attuned to potential candidates, but I’m curious if there are any platforms, data tools, or events you consider essential for executive search—especially if budget were not a constraint.
In tech recruitment, I had access to numerous tools beyond LinkedIn, such as Gem for outreach, search, and market data collection, as well as Gartner reports and LinkedIn insights, alongside various industry events to engage with candidates. However, I find myself at a loss when it comes to similar resources in executive search. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Navigating Job Applications and Conflicts of Interest
About a year ago, I was approached by a recruiter from ABC Company for a specific position. I was submitted as a candidate and interviewed with HR, but the position ended up being put on hold.
Then, in the spring of last year, the recruiter reached out again to inform me that the HR director wanted to know if I would be interested in a different position. Unfortunately, I had to decline because I had already accepted another job two months earlier.
Recently, I noticed that the original position was still available on the company’s website, so I contacted the recruiter to express my interest. Here’s the catch: this recruiter represents both my current employer and the company I’m interested in, causing a conflict of interest. They’ve informed me that they cannot submit my application unless I resign from my current job.
I told them that I’m uncomfortable with that idea, so I decided to apply directly through the company’s website.
Now I’m questioning my decision: Am I wrong for not wanting to quit my current job for something uncertain? I don’t want to lose out on what could be a fantastic opportunity for me.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
