Ascension Search Partners’ Post

My hot take for this Friday: if you're a recruiter trying to increase billings, you may need to work less to make more. Here's what I mean. At Systematic we've had ebbs and flows where I've worked anywhere from 2 to 20+ job orders at a single time. Guess when I'm most successful? It's when I have the time to do a high quality deep dive on a handful of jobs, really canvassing the talent market, instead of just firing off a decent candidate or two and then going to the next position. I used to think the more I took on, the more I would place.... seems logical right? Well, if you're losing quality it doesn't matter. I'm incredibly lucky to be in an agency where I have management support to hand off job orders or take on more as needed. Because after a couple years I've seen this cycle over and over: --> Recruiter ends up with too many job orders --> They stop making placements --> They hand off some and deep-dive what's left --> Clients and candidates get better service --> Placements come rolling in Work smarter, not harder. Don't forget that quality is the best value proposition you have. #recruiting #placements #hiring #manufacturing

The last month of the year can be a golden opportunity to hire. Employed candidates have more free time to consider a new job due to their own reduced workload and many are re-evaluating their current job, prospects and planning for the future. This makes December a prime opportunity to reach these candidates. Here are 7 reasons we believe you should consider starting your hiring process in December https://lnkd.in/eFn6jEdY

Unfortunately, we at Alliance Consulting (Recruitment) have seen the below time and time again Recruiter: I'm sorry, but the candidate has accepted another offer elsewhere. Manager: But you said we were their first choice. Recruiter: You were. Manager: Then how did we lose them? Recruiter: While you put them through a 6-week interview process, another company offered them a position in a week.   Moral of the story: Move fast when hiring. Good candidates are in high demand. If you take too long, they will go somewhere else. #hiring #hr #careers

𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗖𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗦 𝗧𝗘𝗟𝗟 𝗔 𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗬 In a recent recruitment journey, we encountered a unique scenario. A joint venture led to an extended hiring process, spanning several months. Amidst the waiting game, keeping the candidate engaged and enthusiastic was a challenge. Despite the hurdles, our candidate remained steadfast, demonstrating unwavering commitment. Today, we celebrate a successful placement! The candidate embraced the opportunity wholeheartedly, seizing it with enthusiasm and dedication.

90 to 100% of placements are still in their roles in the past 12 months. 🎉 If you follow me, you know I like to collect our staffing data and today I did our numbers for placements that are still in their roles. For STEWART KELLEY & ASSOCIATES it is 100%. As you know this side of the business is for our #executivestaffing roles. ▶️ 10% have been promoted. ▶️ 25% have increased revenue year over year On the CLASSIC RECRUITING, LLC side of the business, they are running 90%. That is an unbelievable number considering they place both salary and hourly workers nationwide. ▶️ 18% of the placements have been promoted. When a company needs to utilize a search firm for support, their top priority is finding talent that will do the job and also go over and beyond. It's very costly for companies to place an ad and to interview the millions of resumes and filter out the right people, that's why they utilize one of our staffing firms. I couldn't be more proud of these numbers. It means that we ARE selecting the right people and making a match for #productivity, #revenueincrease and #cutlure. Looking forward in the next 12 months and to get that 90% to 100! #STAFFING #HIRING #EXECUTIVELEADERSHIPP #SEACHFIRM #HR #CEO #CFO #FINANCE #MANUFACTURING #CONSTRUCTION

10 years ago today, I completed my first week in the recruitment industry, embarking on a transformative 5-year journey with the same company. Looking back, I faced financial, personal, and professional challenges, but reframed them as invaluable learning experiences. This role, my first 'proper' job, laid a solid foundation for my career growth. Throughout my tenure, I navigated setbacks: from candidate disappointments to client rejections. These moments, though tough, taught me resilience and the importance of building strong relationships. Facing commission setbacks due to candidate turnovers instilled in me vital financial lessons. To those aspiring for a successful sales career or seeking a fulfilling job path, I recommend exploring recruitment. The skills and insights gained in this dynamic field can pave the way for a smoother professional journey ahead. #Recruitment #CareerGrowth #LearningExperience
