Anyone use paylocitys recruiting platform? Would love feedback

Has anyone had experience with Paylocity’s recruiting platform? I’m looking for some insights.

Hi everyone! I’m currently working as a contract recruiter for a company that uses Paylocity as their HR system. They’ve asked me to meet with them about the potential switch to using Paylocity for their ATS. To be honest, I haven’t worked with Paylocity before and I’m not overly familiar with it. If anyone has feedback or experiences to share before my conversation, I would greatly appreciate it!

Seeking Advice on Securing a Job in Canada with a Closed Work Permit and Extensive Experience

Looking for Guidance on Job Hunting in Canada with a Closed Work Permit and Extensive Experience

Hello everyone,

I’m currently living in Canada on a closed work permit and have gained one year of Canadian work experience. Additionally, I have nine years of international experience as a software developer. Despite my background, I’m finding it difficult to land a new job.

I would greatly appreciate any advice on how to navigate the job market given my situation. Specifically, I’m looking for insights on:

• Job search strategies tailored for individuals like me
• Networking tips and resources in the Canadian tech sector
• How to showcase my international experience effectively
• Information on employers or recruiters willing to consider candidates with a closed work permit

I am also open to relocation for the right opportunity.

Thank you in advance for your insights and suggestions!

Life science industry

Exploring the Life Science Industry

Hello everyone,

Yesterday, I shared that my current agency has encouraged me to establish a new desk in the Life Science sector. I’m reaching out to see if anyone with experience recruiting in this field can provide insights on aspects like fees and billing potential.

Currently, I’m evaluating whether to stay in my Healthcare desk, where I’ve successfully closed 6 deals totaling just over £40K, averaging around £6,666 per deal—about the norm in our office.

I believe Life Science has more long-term prospects, as it appears to be more in-depth compared to the transactional nature I’m experiencing in Healthcare. I’m genuinely interested in this area and aspire to become an “industry expert” in Life Science rather than continuing in Healthcare.

That said, I am weighing the risks of leaving a growing desk to start anew, especially knowing it might take 12-18 months to achieve consistent billing and earn a solid commission.

Additionally, I’ve noticed that few individuals in our office are billing over £150K annually. My goal, however, is to reach at least £250K a year and continue advancing from there.

If anyone can share their insights about the Life Science market, tips for building a successful desk, and realistic expectations for billing and timelines, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you! 🙂

Got stood up twice for an interview

I was stood up for an interview twice. Here’s what happened: They reached out to me to schedule a meeting, and I complied. The first time was on a Monday. After waiting for ten minutes, I sent two emails—one checking if he would be joining and another asking if I should reschedule. He replied with a brief apology but offered no explanation.

The second time went similarly. I waited without any notice of a delay, and after 10 minutes, my follow-up email went unanswered. Eventually, the interviewer joined nearly 25 minutes late and ended the call without saying a word. Honestly, I shouldn’t have waited that long.

Now I’m considering sending an email to their talent acquisition team to express my frustration, but I’m unsure if that would come off as petty. What do you think?

Impact of non-compete ban

Impact of Non-Compete Ban

Hello everyone,

I had a thought today and I’m curious to hear your perspectives: Do you think we’ll see a surge in new agency startups in Q4 due to the non-compete ban?

From what I’ve observed, many determined individuals often respond to non-competes with, “I’ll take my chances,” and venture out on their own anyway—although that’s just my personal experience. It makes me wonder, though, if there are many agency recruiters who would be ready to strike out on their own if they weren’t bound by these agreements, and soon they might have that opportunity. What do you think?

CRM and ATS

CRM and ATS Inquiry
I run a staffing agency specializing in light industrial and clerical placements. With a team of four recruiters, I’m in the market for a new CRM/ATS solution. I received a quote from Bullhorn for approximately $250 per user per month, but the one-time implementation fees are quite steep. I’m currently using Akken and am curious about alternative options. Does anyone have insights on the costs for Avionte or TempWorks? I’ve heard positive feedback about both. Thanks!
