Adam our Managing Director joined us for this episode. He gives an insight into how things have changed in the recruitment world over a number of years – he was recruiting when recruiters would look at jobs in newspapers!  We also look ahead to think what'll change. Will recruitment processes be condensed? Is hybrid and working from home here to stay? As keeping up with the best talent is about changing your processes to fit with how the world has changed. If you're recruiting in an industry that is predominantly hybrid/working from home, then you need to expect that candidates are going to ask for it. Be in line with what your customers want. Listen to this guest episode if you're currently recruiting/looking for a job or trying to become a recruiter. The topics we discuss are so relevant for everyone associated with the industry - get behind the scenes on our opinions as recruiters.  Follow us on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/roni-newman/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannah-patel-commercial-recruitment/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/adolman/ 

This week we discuss trends in recruitment. As recruiters we’ve seen things shift in our roles over the past few months. In this episode we dive deeper into the ones that have stood out to us and we think will become more noticeable for recruiters this year. We’ve come to the conclusion that recruiting is not as much a sales job as people think – it’s more marketing! Essentially, we have to create campaigns and materials that will bring in the best candidates. So, if you’re a recruiter, get ahead of the trend and start thinking in the mindset that some of your job is to use marketing skills. Listen to hear more about new trends appearing in the recruitment industry.

In this new year, we're laying out our predictions for what jobseekers can do to stand out from the rush of competition.  Sure, a CV isn't everything, but it's the only way to get a foot in the door - is something most people think. But you can make the most of your job search by conveying drive and productivity. Go out of your way to make this impression. We give you advice on how you can achieve this in the episode - it's easier than you're thinking!  Social media has a lot to answer for when it comes to job applications.

This week we discuss what we think will be trends for businesses looking to hire in 2023. We take a look at things in recruitment that were starting to pop up more towards the end of last year. In a jobseeker market where the Gen Z workforce is becoming more dominant, it's important to keep up with changes that are happening right under our noses. Employers are expecting more than ever and have high criteria when it comes to impressing them in this candidate short market. They're wanting benefits that can stand out from the crowd and are focused on well-being and personal development. It's vital to keep up with what jobseekers think a good benefit is - as it's always changing.  Throughout the episode, we discuss more pointers with advice on how you can adapt your recruitment process to work the best way it can in these times. It's important to keep in mind what's changing and adapt your processes. Listen if you're a business/hiring manager looking for new employees and want to get the hottest talent!  Follow us on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/roni-newman/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannah-patel-commercial-recruitment/

This week we had some festive fun and recorded a Christmas special! It’s a game we like to call Would You Rather, but we’ve ‘Recruitified' it.

We may share some controversial opinions, but it’s just a bit of Christmas fun!
