🎄The holiday season is almost here, with #Christmas and #NewYear just around the corner! We originally planned our #holiday break from December 28th to January 5th, but thanks to our team’s incredible hard work and dedication, we've wrapped up the quarter ahead of schedule and reached our goals early! 🚀 As a result, we’ll be closed from December 25th to January 5th, taking a well-deserved break to recharge for the year ahead. Rest assured, we'll be back, refreshed and ready to serve our clients and candidates, ensuring everything continues to run smoothly. We're immensely proud of our team's accomplishments this year and can't wait to kick off #2025 with even more success. Wishing everyone a joyful, relaxing holiday season! 🌟 Diego Utiyama Yuka Lai Ono Mieko Chihiro Maejima Insa Bremer Divya Krishnamurthy Eude parfait SARAKA Dominique Heldigarde Luague Felipe Hatadani

As #2024 comes to a close, we took a moment to #celebrate all we’ve accomplished together. 🎉 🎉 From hitting key milestones to supporting each other through challenges, this year has been about more than just business — it's been about #growth, #collaboration, and fostering a positive #workculture where everyone’s contribution counts. We're excited about what’s ahead. Here’s to more success, new opportunities, stronger teamwork, and even bigger things in #2025! 🎉 #Bonenkai #LifeatSpotted Diego Utiyama Divya Krishnamurthy Chihiro Maejima Insa Bremer Yuka Lai Eude parfait SARAKA Ono Mieko Felipe Hatadani

Candidates who say “I’m flexible with the minimum salary” often raise their expectations once they see the #job and company up close. Here's what we believe: Clients: If you’re willing to be flexible, communicate it early so there are no surprises later. If not, set clear salary bands in #jobdescriptions and stick to them to minimizes the risk of candidates inflating their expectations based on perceived value. Candidates: Understand what a competitive #salary looks like in your field, at your #experience level, and within your location, before taking the plunge. #salarygap #recruiterlife

Great work starts with great #training — but we’re not talking about those boring, 50-slide presentations and long training hours. Nope, we’re all about hands-on learning. 📈 Making mistakes and learning from them is how we grow, and it’s how we empower our people to succeed. Our recruiters bring their best with the right industry knowledge and the niche #skills they’ve mastered — all while fostering personal and professional growth. So, we might make a mistake here and there, but it’s all part of the process. Need top #talent for your team? Let’s talk about how we can support your #hiring needs and build a future-ready workforce. #LifeAtSpotted Diego Utiyama Yuka Lai Dominique Heldigarde Luague Divya Krishnamurthy Insa Bremer Matt Napier

Multi-agency recruitment is hurting your search. Especially for niche positions. Many companies think multiple #recruitment agencies will give them access to a larger pool of #candidates. And this often leads to overlapping candidate outreach, directly impacting your quality of interactions and damaging your #brand reputation. I believe, while a multi-agency approach may work for high-volume roles, it’s ineffective for niche or senior positions. Here’s why: 🌱 Limited Candidate Pool: Niche roles have fewer candidates. Multiple agencies contacting the same people can make your company seem desperate, dissuading interest. 🌿 Diluted Messaging: With many agencies, key information gets lost, and recruiters struggle to effectively sell the opportunity. 🌳 Time & Engagement: Managing multiple agencies takes more time (and other resources), risking delays and losing top candidates to other opportunities. So, in my experience, the best results come from working with a smaller, trusted group of agencies or recruiters — even better if on an exclusive or retained basis. That's something we have been prioritising at Spotted for some time now, and we’ll definitely stick to it!

A great hire is about more than just #skills—it’s about #culturalfit. When candidates align with your company's values and work style, they contribute to a more cohesive, #productive team.
