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…

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…

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

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…

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…
