Is now the right time?
Here’s a question you need to answer when looking for ways to grow your Recruitment/Search Business… Is now the right time to optimise or is now the right time to scale? To explain the two… Optimisation = How to get better results with the current assets I have Scale = How do I multiply my…
Stupid Recruiter Marketing
Relying on warm introductions or word of mouth to grow your Recruitment or Search Business is a catastrophe waiting to happen… I would go a far as to say it’s stupid… Don’t get me wrong, leads you get via warm introductions or referrals will be some of the best leads your business will ever generate……
Do you back yourself
Successful Recruitment and Search Business Owners back themselves… It’s an essential belief system you need to have in order to succeed… You need to be able to back yourself to get the results you want… Back yourself to follow through on the commitments you’ve made to yourself, to your employees, to clients and to candidates……
It’s easy to win more job orders
It’s easy to win more job orders… With sheer volume of either cold calls… MPC’s… Emails… LinkedIn… To name a few… Sure, there are things you can do to improve your outreach, and enhancing your outreach is 100% something you should be investing your time into… But overall, it’s pretty simple… Sprinkle a little bit…
They always get hit!
When I was younger, I used to box… I was the county champion, one of the best in the country for my age group… But despite that, no matter who I got into the ring with, I always ended up getting punched in the face… Sometimes so hard that I would see stars and want…

Why Hiring Managers want you to charge higher fees
Not all… But a percentage of the prospects who are in the market for your Recruitment/Search services actually want you to charge a higher fee… Why? It’s not because they want to pay above the odds… It’s because they want reassurance they’re getting the best service for something that’s likely critical to their business performance……
3 things recruiters who want more clients can learn from Dexter
I caught an old rerun of Dexter on TV last night… Great series if you’re into that kind of thing… I won’t ruin it for you if you haven’t seen it, but it’s a show about a serial killer whose M.O is to hunt and kill other dangerous criminals… He’s kind of like a vigilante…
You either win, or you learn… And the more you learn, the more you win
One of the biggest things that hold Recruitment and Search Business Owners back, keeps them stuck and stops them growing is missing the lessons in their failures… You’re going to have bad days, weeks, months etc… You’re going to fail and mess things up… You’re going to get things wrong, things aren’t going to go…
Better and faster
A mentor of mine shared an article on his Facebook page a few days ago, and it got me thinking about how the majority of Recruitment and Search Business Owners run their businesses… The typical Recruitment and Search Business Owners thinks in terms of “more and bigger” rather than “better and faster.” I blame the…
Recruiters becoming open targets
Almost every one of the Recruitment and Search Firm owners I work with share the same fear… And I must admit… It’s a fear I suffer from too from time to time… It’s the fear of putting yourself out there… You see, when you push your business and push your brand so more of your…
I’ll spell it out
It’s actually VERY simple… But most Recruitment and Search Business Owners fall short at the first hurdle… They have a handful of clients who use them religiously… But when it comes to winning NEW business it’s SLOOW… Most of their ideal prospects don’t even know they exist… And for the few that do, they’re viewed…
Recruiters can’t sell
Most Recruiters don’t know how to sell the service they deliver… They either don’t like sales and so avoid it completely out of choice (not the best business acumen but it happens more than you might think)… Or they think ‘winning’ a contingency job order is the same thing as making a sale… And so…
Your Fee
You have heard this quote before… But one of my clients shared it a couple of days ago and thought it served as a great reminder for you as a Recruitment or Search Business Owner (especially if you’d like to win higher fees) “A bar of iron costs $5, made into horseshoes its worth is…
Limit
On a recent coaching call with some of the Recruitment and Search Business Owners I help we got talking about self-sabotage… It’s something every single person I’ve ever met suffers from to some capacity… Being capable of so much but repeatedly making decisions that limit your success… Success or failure within the Recruitment/Search industry has…
Hunt then build
The longer I work with Recruitment and Search Firm Owners, the more I am convinced that they are split into 2 types: CHASERS AND BUILDERS. The CHASERS are like the hunters of old. They see an opportunity, and they chase it. Some days they come back with a fresh wildebeest to eat for a few…
Low fill rates turn your delivery into a gamble
I saw a comment on LinkedIn the other day that said… Some Recruiters fill 10% of the vacancies they work, and some fill 90%.. It depends on what side of the equation you want to align your services with.. That isn’t an exact quote, and I can’t remember who said it so forgive me for not…
10 Hiring Managers
Let’s say you speak to 10 Hiring Managers. Not just random conversations with people you’ve cold-called out the blue… I mean ten meaningful conversations with prospects who actually have a vacancy for you to work on… And let’s assume 30% of those conversations lead to completed placements. Not ‘job orders’, I’m talking about what I…
