How to become a travel staff agency

How to Transition into a Travel Staffing Agency

I currently operate a staffing agency that serves school districts and higher education institutions in California, focusing on therapists. I’m interested in expanding my agency to include travel staffing, allowing me to recruit candidates from outside of my state. I’ve searched online for guidance, but I may not be using the right terms, as I haven’t found the information I need. Any advice or direction on how to make this transition would be greatly appreciated!

Seeking Recommendations for ATS with Website Data Integration for My One-Man Band Recruitment Firm

Looking for ATS Recommendations with Website Data Integration for My Solo Recruitment Firm

Hello everyone,

I’m in the process of launching a solo recruitment firm and am on the lookout for an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) that can help me manage applications while also presenting valuable data on my website for each job listing.

I’m particularly interested in an ATS that can capture and display the following information:

• Total number of applicants
• Number of interviews conducted
• Predominant industries of applicants
• Rejection rate of applicants

I’d love to showcase this data in a dashboard format on my website, similar to the insights available in a typical ATS dashboard for recruiters.

Do you know of any ATS platforms that provide this kind of integration? Which ones would you recommend that align closely with these features?

Thank you for your suggestions!

Recruitment question

Recruitment Query

I recently applied for a position where I have over 10 years of experience. After deciding to leave my previous job, I took a 4-month break to reassess my career direction, and I’ve now decided I’m ready to return to work.

I had a positive initial conversation with the recruiter, which was followed by an in-person interview with the hiring manager the next week, and that went well too.

The day after my interview, the recruiter contacted me to schedule a phone call for the following week. I assumed this call would be to share the good news about my acceptance, as my extensive experience seemed to align perfectly with the company’s needs based on our discussions.

However, during the call, the recruiter informed me that they would not be moving forward with my application. She mentioned there was no negative feedback about my interview, and that the hiring manager appreciated our conversation. The reason for their decision, she said, was that they preferred candidates who are currently employed in similar roles.

To my surprise, just two days later, I found that the same job posting had been re-listed on their website.

What does this imply, and what steps should I take next? I’m starting to feel like the recruiter may not have been completely honest with me.

Enough, I want out.

I’ve reached my breaking point, and I want to make a change. I’ve spent over five years in recruitment and talent acquisition, partnering with some of the largest manufacturing and IT companies, both as an agency and in-house recruiter. Unfortunately, I’ve faced two layoffs—one due to COVID-19 and the other during the wave of tech layoffs.

In my quest for growth, I relocated twice for job opportunities without any relocation support, and at each new position, I earned promotions. However, my salary is now about 30% lower than it was two years ago. I’ve felt stagnant, not learning anything new in the last three years while finding myself in a teaching role instead.

I’m considering a shift to sales, particularly in manufacturing-related products—not services or software. I would appreciate any advice on how to transition out of recruitment or other options I should explore. I’m currently based in Barcelona. Thanks in advance!

How much is everyone charging as a full-desk recruiter?

Curious about pricing for full-desk recruitment!

Hi there! I’ve recently taken the plunge to go solo and would love to hear what others are charging for direct hires as full-desk recruiters, as well as for temp and temp-to-hire placements. Thanks!

Remote Customer Support Representative for hire

Seeking Remote Customer Support Representative Position

Hello everyone!

I’m Consolata, a dedicated customer support professional from Kenya, excited to bring my expertise to a new role in this field.

What distinguishes me is my strong commitment to delivering exceptional customer experiences. I understand how vital outstanding customer support is for enhancing business success, and I consistently strive to exceed expectations.

As this is a remote opportunity, I am well-prepared to work independently and ensure that my responsibilities are met reliably without the need for constant supervision.

I would love to share my resume and any other pertinent information with recruiters, staffing agents, or employers who have openings for remote customer support roles. Please feel free to reach out to me via PM. Thank you!

How does a fresher negotiate for salary??

How should a recent graduate approach salary negotiation?

I’m a recent graduate and have received interest from a service-based company following an interview. When discussing my expected salary, I quoted an average amount that graduates from my department typically earn during campus placements. However, the HR informed me that their client thinks my expected salary exceeds their budget and provided a very limited salary range.

The opportunity is with a well-known client company that has a great reputation, but the downside is that it requires me to relocate to an area I’m not particularly fond of. Although I expressed my reluctance to move, the HR suggested that I could potentially switch locations later if my manager permits, which I find hard to believe. I’m open to relocating if I can negotiate for a better salary, but I’m also concerned about the current job market and whether insisting on my desired salary would be a mistake.

Should I attempt to negotiate the salary? If so, how can I effectively do that without prior experience? Or should I simply accept the offer within their budget?

Accepted a new role at a startup!

Excited to announce that I’ve accepted a new role at a startup! I recently accepted an offer with a recruitment company, thanks to my connection with the owner who has other business ventures.

I’ll be the first full-cycle recruiter on the team, joining a business-focused partner and a few delivery specialists.

My background is in public sector technology, so transitioning to the private sector is a new challenge for me, but I’m eager to dive in!

If there are any seasoned recruiters or top billers out there, I would greatly appreciate any tips or advice to help me hit the ground running!

Just a note: I’m based in the UK, and they’re offering a 20% commission structure with a £5k threshold.
