I’m trying to find out if there is a need for my skill set.

I’m looking to gauge the demand for my skill set.

Hi everyone! In the past, I successfully used email marketing to secure sales calls for a friend’s agency, which inspired me to start my own agency. I’m curious if there is a genuine need for lead generation services in today’s market. I’ve noticed that the industry seems saturated with providers claiming to deliver 20 to 50 clients with little to no upfront cost, which seems too good to be true. My approach is different; I focus on generating high-quality leads who are not only interested in your services but also have the financial capability to invest. Moreover, my pricing model is performance-based. I would appreciate any insights or feedback!

anyone experience with Huntly.ai?

Has anyone had any experience with Huntly.ai? I’m looking to earn some extra income while working from home in the Netherlands, and I stumbled upon a website called ‘huntly.ai‘.

In a nutshell, Huntly.ai is described as a recruitment platform that connects tech recruiters with companies through a competition-based system, providing pre-screened candidates and charging fees only when a hire is made.

I’d love to know if anyone is familiar with this site or, even better, if anyone has actually used it.

It seems promising, but I’m unsure about its legitimacy.

Impact of an NDA?

Understanding the Implications of an NDA

I’m seeking some clarity on the consequences of signing a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). I’m currently on the lookout for a full-time position and am considering an internship opportunity. However, they require me to sign an NDA and a Confidentiality Agreement before any discussions can take place.

I’m uncertain about how this might impact my chances with other companies in the same field. Can I confidently sign the NDA, knowing it won’t hinder my ability to pursue full-time roles with other organizations in this industry? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Independent recruiters and small-sized agencies of the world! What’s the success fee and condition you offer your services with?

Attention independent recruiters and small agencies around the globe! What success fees and conditions do you offer for your services?

I’ve recently partnered with former colleagues to launch my own recruitment agency based in Hungary, mainly working part-time. We’ve been fortunate to receive inquiries from international companies in Austria and Germany. However, we had to rely on “eyeball estimation” to create our business offer, as we’re not well-versed in the pricing of HR services in those markets.

Ultimately, we secured a contract with one of the German companies, where we receive 15% of each worker’s gross salary for up to one year, along with a 60-day guarantee period at the start. The positions we’re filling include electricians, mechanics, and more.

So, did we strike a good deal compared to other HR providers in Germany, or are we simply seen as a more affordable outsourcing option from abroad? 😀

I’m curious to know—what are the recruitment fees like in your countries?

Job after PhD

Job Search After PhD

Hello everyone,

I’m reaching out to seek advice from professional recruiters and talent acquisition experts. I’m currently based in Denmark and completed my PhD in organizational behavior in December 2021. While I continue to work at the university, focusing on research and teaching, I have about six years of prior industry experience in HR roles and recruitment. I’m eager to return to an HR-related position in the industry and am willing to start in an assistant role to learn and grow within an organization.

Over the past year, I’ve applied to numerous positions, but responses have been few and far between. I’ve started to wonder if my lack of recent hands-on experience is a barrier, or if companies are unsure of how to value my PhD and research background.

I would greatly appreciate any tips or strategies to improve my chances of landing interviews. Do recruiters still consider motivational letters important? Would it be worthwhile to apply for positions even when they aren’t advertised?

Thank you in advance for your insights!

Is internal recruitment dead?

Is Internal Recruitment a Lost Cause?

I’m considering a transition from agency recruitment to an internal role, but I’ve heard that the internal recruitment market is struggling. What’s behind this perception? Am I about to make a significant error in judgment?

To provide some background, the organization I’m joining is currently expanding and has created a new position within their recruitment team, which I will be stepping into.

Temps placements and the figures first 9 months

Temp Placements and Results from My First 9 Months

I’ve been working at a temp agency in Ireland, focusing on the construction sector, and I’ve achieved 85 temp placements along with 2 permanent placements in my first 9 months. Is this a low number for someone in a temp role after just 9 months? I come from a permanent recruitment background in the same field.

Am I the “Plan B”?

Am I just the “Plan B”?

I’d love to hear insights from experienced recruiters.

I submitted my application over a month ago and received a call from an internal recruiter who mentioned that my qualifications perfectly matched the role.

Here’s how the interview process unfolded:

1. First Interview: I had a session with a junior manager and someone from HR. I felt I performed reasonably well.
2. Online Assessment: Unfortunately, I don’t think I did well on this part.
3. Second Interview: I spoke with the hiring manager and felt okay about my performance.

After this, there was a week of radio silence.

Originally, there was supposed to be a two-stage interview process, but then the recruiter informed me that they wanted me to have an informal chat with the director. I inquired if other candidates were at this stage, and the recruiter confirmed they were not.

The director’s interview lasted about 10 minutes. He asked me standard questions related to the role. I felt I did okay but knew I could have performed better.

Then, there were three days of silence.

I reached out to the recruiter and received a call back explaining that they were finalizing details and he was passing my case to his team while he went on leave.

The long bank holiday has now passed, and there hasn’t been any update. I noticed no updates on Tuesday and again today.

I’m starting to feel anxious and suspicious, wondering if I’m merely a backup option in case their preferred candidate declines the offer. How likely is this scenario? Is it common practice in the industry to keep a candidate “on hold”?

Thank you for your thoughts!
