Struggling with Job Advert Access – Am I Wrong to Push Back?

Facing Challenges with Job Advert Access – Am I Wrong to Advocate for Change?

Background:
I’ve spent the last three years in agency recruitment. Initially, we had three single-use job advert slots available each month—once they were used, they were gone. Our company website sees little success in generating viable candidates. Occasionally, we managed to negotiate for an extra slot or two.

In the past year, we’ve gained access to a reusable job slot on Indeed, which allows us to post, remove, and repost jobs as needed. However, this slot rotates weekly among team members, limiting each of us to just one week of access.

The Challenge:
I’m currently experiencing a highly productive quarter—over €50k in billings, surpassing my €35k target—and feel optimistic about my recruitment efforts for the first time in a while. However, management has recently eliminated all single-use job slots and revoked our access to CV databases. While we’ve been promised additional Indeed slots, there’s no concrete timeline.

This lack of advert slots means I can only post jobs during the first week of the month, leaving me with no options for the remainder of the month. This situation forces me into 100% cold sourcing, which is certainly part of the role, but it feels like an undue limitation. I truly believe I could achieve €80k–€100k in billings each quarter if I had better access to job postings and warm candidates.

I’ve expressed my concerns to management, yet they appear unresponsive—acknowledging our frustrations in team meetings but swiftly changing the topic, even when several team members share similar issues.

Am I Overstepping?
Should I continue to advocate for meaningful changes, or is this something I should simply accept? I genuinely want to enhance my performance—to drive more revenue for the company and increase my own earnings. But if management remains unyielding, am I merely hitting my head against a wall?

What’s the consensus—should I fight for better resources, or adapt to what’s currently available?

Thank you? No Thank you?

Grateful or not?

I just had a second-round interview (yay!) with a company I’m really excited about. I spoke with one of my potential future managers, and it went really well.

Now, I’m wondering:
The interview was arranged by HR, so I don’t have his email address.

Should I connect with him on LinkedIn to express my thanks, or would it be better to stay silent?

Thanks for your help!

How Can My US Employer Legally Pay Me as a Remote Worker in the Philippines?

How Can My US Employer Legally Pay Me While I’m a Remote Worker in the Philippines?

Hi everyone,

I’m a Filipino international student in the US, and my visa is about to expire. I plan to return to the Philippines next year, but my current employer in the US wants to continue my remote employment. They are looking for a straightforward and legal way to pay me directly without establishing a legal entity in the Philippines or using a third-party payroll service.

I’m looking for guidance to set this up as easily as possible for both parties. Here are a few questions I have:

  • What’s the simplest way for them to legally pay me from the US?
  • What tax obligations will I have in the Philippines? Do I need to register as self-employed or establish a sole proprietorship?
  • Will my employer face any tax or reporting requirements in the US if they pay me directly?
  • What’s the best approach to handle this situation?

If anyone has experience working remotely for a US company while living in the Philippines, I would greatly appreciate any insights or advice you can share!

Thank you!

Sourcing leads

Exploring Lead Sourcing Opportunities
Hi everyone! I’m considering joining a software company that focuses on lead sourcing for recruiters by automating live job roles and outreach, including optional AI-powered emailing features.

Having worked in recruitment in the past, I have a good understanding of the industry, though I’ve been away for a few years. I’m curious to hear if anyone has insights into the value of products like this (I know Apollo is one of the options out there). I’m feeling a bit torn about making this move since it comes with some risks, but the product really resonates with me and they’ve implemented unique features to set themselves apart from the competition.

Any thoughts or insights would be greatly appreciated!

How do I efficiently screen thousands of resumes?

Efficiently screening thousands of resumes can be a daunting task. I recently went through the process of shortlisting candidates and found the experience with tools like Rippling and Workable quite frustrating. Their basic filtering options and lack of advanced skill and industry-specific search capabilities left much to be desired.

So, how can we tackle this challenge effectively? I’m eager to discover methods that can help identify the right candidates without the need to sift through countless resumes manually—especially since I worry about overlooking potential fits. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Choosing Between Recruitment and B2B Sales in the UK

As I approach my graduation this summer, I’m eager to start my career in sales. However, I’m finding it challenging to decide between a recruitment career and a more traditional sales position in sectors like tech or finance.

Could anyone share their insights on which path might offer better earning potential, flexibility for working from home, and overall work-life balance? Your recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Is TERN Group legit?

Is TERN Group a legitimate company?

I recently discovered TERN Group, which presents itself as an AI-driven marketplace for healthcare recruitment and immigration. They claim to connect skilled professionals from India, North Africa, Jordan, Morocco, and South Africa with healthcare systems in countries like the UK, Germany, and the US.

TERN Group states that they offer comprehensive support for healthcare professionals seeking to relocate and work internationally. While their branding and services seem quite impressive, it almost sounds too good to be true. I’d love to hear from anyone who has direct experience with them. Have you or someone you know ever worked with TERN Group? Are they trustworthy? Thank you!
