Billing the organisation being recruited for

Subject: Inquiry About Billing Practices for Recruitment Agencies

Hello everyone,

I’m new to the world of recruitment and seeking some insights. I have a strong database of candidates, and I’m currently exploring how to structure my business model. For those of you who run your own recruitment agencies, could you please share how you typically charge organizations for successfully placing a candidate? Do you work with a percentage of the candidate’s salary, a flat fee, a retainer, or something else? Also, since I’m focusing on medical recruitment, does that influence your pricing models?

Thank you for your help!

Has anyone had any experience with them? I’m a bit worried about their 46% attrition rate and the negative reviews on Glassdoor. I’d appreciate hearing from anyone who has recruited for them.

Is it okay for the recruiter to ask for my date of birth ? And did I lose my chances of getting interviewed as I was hesitant to give it out?

Is it appropriate for a recruiter to ask for my date of birth? Am I at risk of losing my chance for an interview because I was reluctant to provide it?

Update: It’s been two weeks, and I’ve been ghosted… I’m feeling mixed emotions, mostly disappointment! 😂😞

For context, this is a recruiter from the EU, where there may be different regulations at play. I had an initial screening call that went really well, and the recruiter seemed very pleasant. However, they later called to ask for my date of birth, stating that it was necessary to complete my application in their system and that they couldn’t proceed without it.

I was hesitant to share this information and even inquired if they needed to know someone’s age for the position, to which they replied it wasn’t a requirement. Eventually, I provided my birth date, but I made it clear that I felt uncomfortable.

My question is: have I jeopardized my chances of getting an interview by expressing hesitation? Did my reluctance make the recruiter doubt my interest? Could my age potentially be a disadvantage in this corporate role?

[UK] What is the current state of recruitment software in this sector?

[UK] What’s the Current Landscape of Recruitment Software?

As a software developer with over ten years of experience, I’ve contributed to several custom software projects for recruitment agencies.

I’m considering developing my own multi-tenant recruitment software that can be licensed to agencies, supporting both temporary and permanent placements, along with features like invoicing, bulk communication, and calendar management.

What is the current state of software solutions in this sector? Is there a genuine demand for improved software that can serve as a primary system for agencies and consultants? How do the existing licensed software options stack up? Are there specific leading companies that agencies typically turn to for management systems?

I’m looking to assess whether this idea has potential.

Looking for Recommendations: Tech Marketing Recruiters
Hi Reddit 😊 I’m in the market for a fantastic recruiter specializing in tech marketing. I’ve tried LinkedIn and Google, but they haven’t yielded the results I was hoping for. Any suggestions on how to find a great recruiter? Thanks so much!

What do I do?

I’m seeking advice on a challenging situation. I recently joined a company as a VP to help expand our presence in the US renewable energy market. However, after six months, I feel like I’ve hit a wall. Securing new clients has proven to be incredibly tough, and so far, we’ve only achieved $110k in billings during my time here.

I’m feeling somewhat drained and am worried about letting my employer down. What steps should I take moving forward?

Filipino applying for a job in the US

Filipino Job Seeker in the U.S.

Hello everyone! I’m currently awaiting my work authorization based on marriage here in the U.S., but I’d love to gain some insights into how American employers perceive international credentials. I’m particularly interested in whether I might be able to secure a position that reflects my experience in the Philippines.

A bit about me: I have built a successful career as a Vice President of Compliance at an outsourced international bank, specifically with Wells Fargo. Prior to that role, I held senior leadership positions at several other international banks. While my responsibilities were essentially the same as those of my U.S. counterparts, I worry that my experience might not carry the same weight here. It seems employers often prefer candidates with U.S.-specific experience, which could mean I have to settle for a more junior position.

If anyone—be it employers or fellow job seekers in a similar situation—could share their experiences or offer insight into the hiring landscape, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance!

Can a high school graduated work in Malaysia?

Can a high school graduate work in Malaysia?

Hello everyone! My boyfriend has received a job offer to work as an IT Technician in Kuala Lumpur, with a 3-year contract and a salary of RM15,000 per month. However, he only has a high school diploma and lacks any formal course certifications or reference letters from previous employers, as he has primarily done freelance work. Is it possible for him to obtain a working visa under these circumstances? Thank you in advance!
