Unfair dismissal?

Unjust Dismissal?

I joined this company as a senior leader in February with the aim of establishing a U.S. entity. My background is heavily rooted in the U.S. market.

Over the last 10 months, I successfully onboarded clients and became the second-highest biller in the company. However, the last quarter was particularly challenging for the U.S. renewables market, leading to a significant decrease in billings. I was informed of my dismissal, with the reasoning that the market is unsustainable for the business and that we might not see any results in the next 3-6 months.

I was never placed on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) nor given any advance notice about this decision. To make matters worse, I received this news via a Teams call, even though we were scheduled to meet in the office the following day. Is this truly a fair dismissal?

Edit:

• Hired in the UK (London) for a permanent position
• Working remotely in the U.S. market
• Came to the UK on a Tier 2 Skilled Worker Visa

LinkedIn Recruiter Cost

Cost of LinkedIn Recruiter

Quick Question: Does anyone know the monthly cost of LinkedIn Recruiter in GBP?

Hi everyone! I’ve been in recruitment for four years, working my way up from a trainee to management, and I’ve always been actively billing. I’m now taking the leap to start my own agency and exploring various tools and systems to set up my operations. My current tech stack includes:

• Loxo

I’m really interested in getting LinkedIn Recruiter, but I’m having a hard time finding the pricing information. Ideally, I’m looking for a single-seat subscription paid monthly in GBP. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Recruitment government contracts

Subject: Seeking Advice on Government Recruitment Contracts

Hello everyone,

I hope this is the right community for my question! I’ve gained some experience in recruitment and am exploring low-value government contracts. Do you think it would be beneficial to partner with another agency to increase my chances of securing more contracts, or should I pursue this on my own?

I appreciate any insights you can share!

Should I take a freelance job I don’t like before landing a full-time position?

Should I accept a freelance job I’m not passionate about while I wait for a full-time position?

I’m currently a homemaker planning to re-enter the workforce. I’ve had several interviews and received positive feedback from a major company, but their offer has been delayed due to a visa issue. Recently, I was offered a remote freelance recruitment role at a small startup, with the potential for a permanent position in a few months. However, I’m feeling hesitant because the job includes sales responsibilities, and I don’t see myself wanting to stay with that company long-term. Should I take the freelance opportunity while I prepare for the big firm, which might take some time, or should I decline it?

Applying for position before recruiter interview?

Subject: Should I Apply Before My Recruiter Interview?

Hello! I was contacted by a recruiter regarding a position that aligns perfectly with my career goals. I was scheduled for an exploratory call this Wednesday, but due to some technical issues on the recruiter’s side, it’s now rescheduled for Monday. In the meantime, I’ve found the job listing online and have been reviewing it to prepare for the interview.

Since this is my first time going through the recruitment process, I’m wondering what the best approach is: should I go ahead and apply for the job before our call, so I can mention it if the conversation goes well? Or would it be better to wait and see if the recruiter encourages me to apply? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

How to expand recruitment reach?!

How to Expand Recruitment Reach?

Hi everyone! I appreciate you taking the time to read this. I’m seeking your advice on an exciting opportunity.

I’m considering a role at a recruitment agency where the CEO has expressed interest in my ideas for expanding their geographic reach. I have about a week or two to develop a strategy.

A bit of background: I have no prior experience in recruitment, and I’m still exploring my career path. I met the CEO by chance at a networking event, and after some discussions, she invited me to meet with her and her team to see if recruitment might be a good fit for me. The agency has been a respected presence in the area for 25 years, and everyone seems to know them.

Although they aren’t actively hiring at the moment, the CEO has mentioned that she appreciates my personality and attitude. She’s eager to see if I can help grow their office’s locational reach. A significant part of the strategy will likely involve networking and promoting the agency—areas where I believe I can excel.

Any insights or suggestions you have would be invaluable! Thank you!

Contingency Collaboration Opportunity for Recruiters/Agencies

Exciting Collaboration Opportunity for Recruiters and Agencies

Hello Everyone,

I’m the owner of a European recruitment agency, and I’m looking to explore potential collaborations with fellow agencies or individual recruiters. The arrangement can be flexible and tailored to our mutual needs.

To provide some context, our agency has recently ceased offering contingency recruitment services. As a result, we have a robust CRM system filled with a diverse client base that we are no longer servicing. However, we continue to receive inquiries from companies interested in working on a contingency basis, thanks to our strong market reputation. I believe there may be agencies or recruiters here who would be interested in leveraging these additional opportunities. Our leads encompass a wide variety of sectors, roles, and potentially even countries.

Here are some collaboration options I have in mind:

• Purchasing Leads: Available for negotiation.
• Launching a New Brand Together: We can co-create a label and facilitate remote hiring for participants once established. This could involve either 180 or 360 recruitment roles, depending on what works best.
• Joint Venture: No upfront fees, with a 50/50 profit share (negotiable) based on successful placements.
• Native Language Support: We can provide a native speaker to assist in the recruitment process while your team handles the rest of the operations.
• Open to Other Ideas: While I prefer to collaborate with one party, I am open to working with multiple recruiters if there is mutual interest.

If you’re situated in Europe (including the UK) and are intrigued by this opportunity, please send me a direct message so we can discuss how we can collaborate effectively.

I look forward to connecting!

Best regards,
Stabley

How to search by two keywords in ApplicantPro?

Searching with Multiple Keywords in ApplicantPro

Hello! I’m looking for guidance on how to search for two different keyword phrases in ApplicantPro. For instance, if I want to find results related to “Software Engineer” and “Web Development,” what’s the best way to do this? I don’t need to use those exact phrases, but they serve as examples. I’ve attempted using quotation marks around each phrase and connecting them with an “&,” but I’m unsure if that’s the right approach. Any tips?
