What we do we do well

We use “rec tech” to speed up business process and make recruiters

more competitive

We help recruiters use social media to generate business and source talent






These are the “things” I’d do if I owned a

recruitment business






Keep the new starter happy

They’re lonely, exposed and in need of friends (my ideal talent and clients)






Be a “B” if the data didn’t go on the system

… and I’d stop my recruiters behaving like hairdressers

renting my desks






Competency based digital recruiter questionsCan you use LinkedIn?How do you use LinkedIn to source talent advertise your jobs?






I’d get jiggy with tech (it’s my job to know how my business works)






BYOD – encourage use of

smart phones(and make sure they know how to

use them)






360 recruiter – break it up

(I want to be a specialist at the special bits)






Stop making assumptions about how my talent uses

social and ask them!






Shift!(I’d be open for business when

my talent is frisky)






Counter the counter offer!

(I’d front load the counter offer coaching and make sure

candidates know it’s coming)






I’d dump my current alternative goals






I’d have realistic goals






Questions??
