June 29, 2020 10:27 - 16 minutes - 30.7 MB

The role of recruiters is changing! It's not enough anymore to just send CVs and book in interviews. We need to be “hiring advisors” to stakeholders.

How can recruiters be more productive?

June 08, 2020 06:40 - 12 minutes - 23.2 MB

I think most of us have had a few agency managers telling us to just dial more numbers and stay longer on the phone in order to hit your recruitment targets and be more productive.  I feel this approach is not the best because I've seen it cause more harm than good to recruitment processes, and it ignores some of the more complex aspects of recruitment (for example stakeholder management, employer branding and much more). Instead of telling you to dial more numbers, I wanted to outline 3 v...
