Starting new US firm as a non resident

Launching a New US Recruitment Firm as a Non-Resident

Hello, fellow recruiters! I’m in the process of establishing a new firm after selling my previous business, which focused on international recruitment for traders. This time, my goal is to concentrate solely on the US market while continuing to operate from the UK.

In my last venture, we were registered in Delaware, which made things relatively straightforward for non-residents. I’ve come across similar information regarding Wyoming’s registration process.

I would love to hear any insights on the differences between registering in Wyoming versus Delaware. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thoughts on a candidate recruiting tool?

I’d love your feedback on a candidate recruiting tool I’m envisioning—please be kind! Here’s a brief overview of my concept:

1) Application Tracker: This feature would cater to candidates seriously seeking jobs in specific fields. Similar to an ATS, users could input jobs they’re applying for and track their application status. They can also provide feedback on their experience, helping future candidates interested in the same company. It’s designed for genuine job seekers, not for mass applications.

2) Profile Building and Job Scraping: Users can create a profile that allows the tool to scrape the web for jobs that match their qualifications. Additionally, they would have the option to collaborate with an actual recruiter for personalized application support and networking assistance.

3) AI-Assisted Resume and Cover Letter Tools: The tool would include AI features to aid in creating resumes and drafting cover letters. There’s also potential to integrate an email drafting tool for follow-ups and outreach.

Do you think there’s value in this for candidates? What aspects do you like, and what would you change or add?

Thanks in advance for your insights!

How to transition to BD?

Transitioning to Business Development: Seeking Your Insights

Hello, wonderful community,

I’ve spent a considerable amount of time in recruitment, where I’ve honed my skills as a successful resourcer and account manager.

My current challenge lies in business development. While I’m not deterred by the idea of making calls and facing rejection, I often find myself hesitating. I want to optimize my approach, but I feel unsure about how to effectively pitch or navigate BD. Years in recruitment have shown me that success often relies on numbers, but I would greatly appreciate any tips, techniques, or guidelines you may have for transitioning into this field.

Additionally, I’d love to hear how you typically get involved in Preferred Supplier Lists (PSLs).

Thank you in advance for any advice you can share, even the tough love!

Hosting an event as a recruiter

Exploring Event Hosting as a Recruiter

Hey Recruiters,

I’ve noticed a growing trend where recruitment agencies are organizing events tailored to the communities they serve. For instance, if I specialize in tech, I might host a gathering for local product and engineering leaders to connect. This could also extend to HR professionals and others in related fields.

There’s significant marketing potential for agencies that organize these events, not to mention the valuable relationships that can be forged among attendees. While I have a few contacts I could invite, I’m curious about what we would actually do at the event. What would the agenda look like? Why would it be a worthwhile investment of everyone’s time?

In short, I’ve been in the recruiting field for three years, and I’m eager to understand how and why others have successfully hosted talent events. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Please help with a very short survey for a Master’s degree

Quick Help Needed for a Master’s Degree Survey

Hi everyone,

I’ll keep this brief. I’m exploring the possibility of pursuing a Master’s degree and plan to focus my dissertation on using Data Science to analyze which elements of a CV are the strongest predictors of graduate hiring success. To evaluate the viability of this topic, I’ve created a very short survey that I’d love for you to fill out:

I would greatly appreciate it if you could spare just 5 minutes to complete it. Thank you so much for your help!

Best Sourcing Services for Educational Staffing?

Best Sourcing Services for Educational Staffing?

I’ve received the green light to explore additional sourcing methods, provided I can demonstrate the value of the investment.

At the moment, I’m primarily using Indeed Smart Sourcing and LinkedIn Recruiter. However, with Indeed’s outreach limited to just 30 contacts, it’s a bit restrictive. LinkedIn Recruiter offers more InMails, but unfortunately, I’ve had very little success with it compared to Indeed and our ATS. My top request right now is for Indeed Premium to gain access to 70 more contacts and additional useful features, but it’s significantly more expensive—over double the cost.

I’m looking for recommendations on tools that provide a good return on investment for sourcing educational staff. Any suggestions for creative sourcing strategies or reputable paid services? Is ZipRecruiter worth the investment? Has anyone had experiences with Teacher-Teacher or Smartspring? I’m also interested in ethical AI-powered services for corporate use. Thank you!

Building Talnet – Split & Social Network for Recruiters | Job & Talent Marketplace

Introducing Talnet: A Comprehensive Split & Social Network for Recruiters | Job & Talent Marketplace

I’m excited to share that I’m developing a platform that began as a simple MPC marketing tool but has evolved into something much more substantial! Here’s what you can look forward to:

• Split Network Functionality
• Searchable and Filterable Talent & Job Marketplace
• Recruiter Profiles to Showcase Jobs and Anonymized MPCs
• The Original MPC Marketing Tool That Inspired It All
• Reports Dashboard (currently in development; expected by the end of 2024)
• A Comprehensive and Free Knowledge Base (set to launch in late Q1 2025)
• And much more on the horizon!

I would love your input in shaping this platform as a community. I’m planning a beta test in mid-December with a select group of 50-100 accounts. Early adopters will enjoy a complimentary full license for the first year in exchange for their feedback. Additionally, there will be free plans available. My aim is not to generate revenue (I already make my living by placing software engineers), but to create a valuable resource for recruiters to collaborate on placements and share insights.

If you’re interested in participating, please send me a direct message to join the waitlist. I’ll notify you when we launch, which will be no later than December 31st.

Let’s build and thrive together! 😃

Does AI have a place in HR?

Does AI belong in HR?
Every day, I come across new AI features and companies, and the buzz surrounding AI in HR has been growing recently.

Several new firms are utilizing AI to manage HR administrative tasks, such as automatically creating and updating employee handbooks, onboarding guides, and company policies. There are also AI agents designed to monitor changes like new hires, management transitions, benefit modifications, and legislative updates, ensuring that internal policies remain current.

While applicant tracking systems (ATS) and other AI applications related to hiring have been part of the industry for over a decade, one has to wonder if other AI tools will also become staples in HR. Is anyone else exploring or utilizing innovative AI solutions in HR?

Job filled?

Position Filled?

About a week ago, I had a job interview that I felt went really well. I received a call from the area manager later on, expressing interest in bringing me in for a second interview, and we scheduled it for December 5th. We’ve had some challenges coordinating our schedules since we work similar hours, so I was working around my break times to make it happen.

Today, however, I received an email stating that the position has been filled. Has anyone else experienced something like this?
