Subject: Seeking Support to Fill Open Positions
Hello Everyone,
I’m currently looking to fill several backend engineering and product roles. I’m reaching out to agencies and freelance recruiters interested in partnering with me on a shared basis to help close these positions.
Thank you!
Check out Dean DaCosta’s Start.Me page—it’s a treasure trove of resources for recruiters!
For those unfamiliar with Dean, he’s a sourcing and Boolean expert, and he runs a fantastic site called The Sourcing Links, packed with valuable information (I won’t share the link due to rules).
To find Dean’s Start.Me page, simply search for “Dean Da Costa Start Me,” and you’ll see it pop up across the first page of results.
Dean has curated an extensive list of tools, software, Facebook pages, and other resources that every recruiter should have at their fingertips. He regularly updates this page and includes the dates for each update or addition.
If you haven’t heard of Start.Me yet, it’s a great platform! It’s free to use, and I use it as my homepage to organize all my bookmarks and frequently used sites. Many users, like Dean, share their pages, and you can easily copy sections to incorporate into your own Start.Me for quick access. I’ve saved several of Dean’s pages and even discovered a fantastic Start.Me created by someone focused on AI and ChatGPT, featuring loads of links on how-tos, prompt engineering, OpenAI API, and AI tool aggregators.
I’m not quite sure how to search for other Start.Me pages, but I’m sure there are plenty more out there that could benefit those in recruiting or business development/sales!
Looking for Accountants in Berlin
I’m on the hunt for accountants in Berlin and have noticed they don’t seem very active on LinkedIn. It’s common for me to either get no responses or receive replies quite late.
Are there other platforms or communities where accountants are more engaged? I’d appreciate any recommendations! Thank you!
Transitioning from Recruitment
I’m considering new opportunities beyond recruitment. After nearly ten years in this field, I feel it’s time for a change.
I’m interested in exploring roles in sales, account management, business development, and the like, particularly within tech, SaaS, and fintech companies.
If anyone has made a similar transition, I would love to hear about your experiences. What challenges did you face, and what advice can you share? Thank you!
Challenges in Working with Recruitment Agencies
Hello everyone,
I’m looking to gather insights on the top three challenges that private sector companies often encounter when collaborating with recruitment agencies.
One common issue I’ve noticed is receiving CVs from candidates who are clearly unqualified. I’m eager to hear what other significant pain points you all have experienced or observed.
Thanks in advance for your input!
What’s Your Favorite Profile Summary?
Instead of discussing the necessity of profile summaries in CVs, let’s focus on what truly stands out to recruiters. What kinds of summaries catch your attention? Can you recall a candidate whose summary was particularly effective? Share your thoughts!
Exploring a Career in Recruitment: Is it a High-Income Skill?
I’m curious to know if a career in recruitment can lead to high earnings. Does anyone have insights on this?
Looking for recommendations on a quality recruitment agency course.
I’ve seen that James Blackwell offers a course, but it’s priced at about $10,000.
I’m hoping to find something just as valuable but at a more affordable rate.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
Business Development – CV Strategies
Are recruiters still using CVs to attract new clients? This approach was once quite effective for me, but I’ve noticed it hasn’t been producing results over the past year. As a professional in tech recruitment, I used to rely on the tried-and-true method of identifying strong CVs with the required skill sets and sending them to hiring managers, usually resulting in some interest from them.
What’s shifted in the landscape?
Seeking Advice on Indeed Registration
Hi everyone!
I’m excited to share that I recently launched my own recruitment agency and have landed my first client! 🎉
When I went to Indeed to post a job ad, I was informed that I need to be a registered business, which has restricted my account access.
Would registering as self-employed suffice, or would it be better to go all-in and set up a limited company?
Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
P.S. Why the downvotes? Just looking for some advice here! 😂
