𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬, 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭. Let's talk about something crucial yet often overlooked: 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐬. When I speak to graduates entering the recruitment industry, many are completely unaware of what thresholds are—or worse, that they even exist. What’s even more concerning? Some have already committed to roles without understanding how thresholds could impact their earning potential. So, what exactly are thresholds? In simple terms, a threshold is the amount you need to 𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘭 before you start earning commission. It’s a way for the agency to cover the costs associated with employing you—things like your salary, equipment, training, and office expenses. Many recruitment agencies have thresholds, but they’re not always made clear during the hiring process. This could result in you stepping into a role where your ability to earn commission is significantly hindered. Here are a couple of examples to illustrate: 𝐀 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝: Threshold: £10,000 annually. Average agency fee: £10,000. This means you need to make 𝘰𝘯𝘦 placement per year before you start earning commission. 𝐀 𝐛𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝: Threshold: £50,000 quarterly Average agency fee: £5,000. In this case, you’d need to make 𝘵𝘦𝘯 placements per quarter before you see any commission. As you evaluate offers, it’s essential to weigh the average fee size, the threshold in place, and, of course, the commission structure (a topic for another day!). Don't walk into a role blind—understand the fine print and set yourself up for success. #Thresholds #Recruitment #Commission #CommisionStructures #Grads #Graduates

"𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭?” Graduates, be prepared to tackle this question head on in your interviews, as this is something that will definitely be asked. However, if you’re going to answer with cliché, overused answers such as “to make money”, “to help people” or to “work in a fast paced environment”, then don’t expect a 2nd interview as everyone else will be giving the same manufactured answers. Stand out by being unique. Stand out by sharing your 𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐈𝐍𝐄 motivations. Here are some 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋 examples of candidates “Why” stories which made them shine amidst a sea of candidates. 1️⃣ 𝘊𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘖𝘯𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘸 𝘶𝘱 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴, 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘥.
