Yesterday I debated the meaning of recruitment-life with one of our directors, Ralph Saunders. We discussed the pros and cons of candidate ownership, client ownership, bonus thresholds, discretionary commissions, and all other ways of divvying up the money in this racket. We reached the incredibly unsatisfying conclusion that the perfect system doesn't exist. Perfect meaning "fair and rewarding under all circumstances" for this argument's sake. But if there is always a possible circumstance whereby someone is arguably treated unfairly or goes unrewarded, how do recruitment companies not tear themselves apart? (lol, you get it? it's funny because they tear themselves apart ALL. THE. TIME 🤣🤣) Yet stable and (relatively) civilized recruitment firms do exist. What gives? The secret is balanced management. Companies outperforming the market and with low people turnover always have management capable of bridging the gaps in the commission & ownership system. Adjudication is one of the hardest things to do as a recruitment manager. That's why companies are obsessed with creating ever expanding policies to hammer down every eventuality. "If the aliens have landed in the month of May, candidate ownership goes to the consultant wearing red panties at the time of the meeting. Unless it's a leap year." Everything to avoid a decision. The perfect ownership/bonus system doesn't exist. But a capable recruitment manager recognizes the imperfections of the company's system, and bridges the gaps to avoid having people fall through the cracks. It's simple but not easy. #recruitment #leadership #management #executivesearch #talent #hiring #NEO #NEOsearchpartners

Finding recruitment challenging? It’s not just you. Jobs and Skills Australia’s latest Recruitment Insights Report shows that 62% of Australian employers recruiting for higher skilled roles had difficulty in March. Why? Despite possible expectations, the last time the number of employers reducing headcount outpaced the number growing headcount was all the way back in September 2021. See their (slightly blurry) graph below. Expect this gap to widen in 2024. Proactive Global APAC #industrialautomation and #robotics #recruitment

𝗘𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗷𝗼𝗯𝘀 #theguardian Recruiters have received a surge in job applications from disgruntled workers at companies that are removing employees’ flexibility over where they work after a flurry of return-to-office mandates were issued by large companies. Two-thirds of recruiters have seen an increase in applicants looking for new jobs who are working at companies that are mandating five days a week in the office, according to a survey. In addition, three-quarters of recruiters said they had seen candidates turn down new roles that did not offer hybrid working, according to the survey of 500 in-house and agency recruiters, conducted in November for the flexible workspace provider International Workspace Group (IWG). Similarly, 72% of surveyed recruiters said companies that do not offer hybrid working are becoming less competitive in the job market. https://lnkd.in/eujtwE8K

📣 DE&I and Recruitment Success … I know this one is a little bit sensitive. Anything that mentions DE&I is scrutinised and debated today. Recently, we had the opportunity to pull together a proposal to join the newly formed recruitment Preferred Supplier List for a major FMCG company. Stage 1, completed a pre-questionnaire, and was moved through to Stage 2, submitting a detailed proposal with lots of examples of our work recruiting for major brands over many years. 😀 Straight through to the final stage number 3. Hooray I thought, particularly having only recently placed a senior marketer in said company’s brand team. Stage 3 … An hour and a quarter on my feet, presenting to 3 people from HR and Procurement. Not a marketing person in sight! I thought it went well.  😀  A lively discussion, lots of examples, plenty of smiles and nods as I talked about the strength of our network and track record of placing marketers over 20 years or so. 2 weeks later, the feedback came back … 1️⃣  Impressed by our track record of sourcing top-tier talent for major brands. 2️⃣  My responses to all the many questions asked were thorough and on point. 3️⃣  Positive about our analysis and understanding of market trends and insights. But .. Alas, a perceived lack of focus on our approach to DE&I, and the initiatives we are taking as a business to increase it, and hence, Tarsh & Partners are not to be appointed as a Tier 1 supplier. I know of course, you can’t win 🥇 everything, and I know that embracing DE&I is important. I had explained that our sourcing and selection processes were thorough, robust and non-discriminatory. But, our priority is, and always has been, to find the best, most capable, most culturally-suited to the job and business candidates, irrespective of race, gender or any other characteristic. Placing great people in great jobs is what creates long-term value, and drives growth for companies and brands. ◾ Am I right about this? ◾ Did I get the pitch wrong? ◾ What do other people think? www.tarshandpartners.co.uk Experts in marketing, brand, digital and commercial recruitment 📧 [email protected] 📞 +44 20 3897 6676 Adam Tarsh | Janine Darley | Alex Hooper

Data insights every agency Owner/Director/Consultant in Australia/NZ should know. Measuring the candidate experience throughout the entire hiring process is crucial to making more placements. If all you are doing is measuring those at the placement stage you are making less placements than you should be. You don't have believe me, but you should believe the data, the data doesn't lie (not that I do but the data is irrefutable). The data attached clearly shows that when you provide an exceptional experience throughout the entire process (which is how this data is collected on Recruiter Insider) fill rates sky rocket! Additionally when your clients get it right your chances of filling the job are also significantly higher. Our clients use this data to educate and help their clients and the results are clear, it works! Both the consultant and the hiring manager play a key role in ensuring the desired outcome is achieved. There are no short cuts!

Ignition K.K. Choosing to be a recruiter means that delivering results should always come with fair and significant rewards from your employer. While many focus on the risks of moving to a new company, it’s important to also consider the risk of missing out on potential rewards by not being open to exploring new opportunities. If you never engage in conversations with other companies, you could pass up a great role without even realizing it. Time moves quickly, and both the economy and job market can fluctuate. With our limited time, it’s essential to remain open to new possibilities. By doing so, you ensure that you’re not turning down what could be the best opportunity of your career—without even knowing it. Continuing to work for an employer who doesn’t compensate you fairly, especially in a results-driven industry, may ultimately be a disservice to yourself and your professional growth. If you want to find out whether you are being fairly compensated then please DM me Michael Craven #ignitionkk #rec2rec #japan

LinkedIn's research reveals that: Australia’s job skills landscape is predicted to undergo a dramatic shift, changing by as much as 66% by 2030 due to the impact of new technologies such as AI. Almost three quarters or 71% of Australian employers have reported substantial changes in the skills and qualifications they are looking for in candidates. The need for upskilling and providing learning opportunities is critical for companies to prepare the workforce with the skills they need to thrive in the new world of work. While a demand for AI skills is trending, LinkedIn’s data reveals it’s the core human-centric skills like communication and leadership — alongside critical AI skills — that will be the true differentiators as the landscape continues to evolve. LinkedIn’s latest Workplace Learning Report highlighted the increasingly important role of soft skills, finding 4 in 5 professionals want to learn more about how to use AI in their profession and 95% of Learning & Development (L&D) professionals in ANZ believe human-centric or soft skills are becoming critical in the era of AI. #AI #Upskilling #TalentDevelopment

Reviewing the latest The Jobs Report, the Aotearoa New Zealand job market continues to present challenging conditions. A significant 17% decline in job postings over the last quarter underscores a persisting downward trend, further deepening an already sharp 42.3% annual drop. This landscape is shaping an environment where resilience and strategic planning are more crucial than ever for both candidates and employers. 📉🔍 What are the takeaways: 🔑 Sector-specific agility: Identify and adapt to sectors showing current growth and potential for future expansion with technological advancements or regulatory changes. For instance, renewable energy and digital health are burgeoning fields that promise long-term career opportunities. 🔑 Emphasis on transferable skills: In an uncertain market, you can benefit greatly from honing skills that are transferable across industries, such as digital literacy, project management, and critical thinking. These skills boost employability in various sectors and can cushion the impact of industry-specific downturns. 🔑 Long-term value creation: Businesses need to focus on both survival and creating long-term value through innovation and diversification. Investing in research and development or exploring new market segments can open/create alternative revenue streams and reduce dependency on fluctuating market conditions. 🔑 Cultural and strategic fit: For hiring managers, the emphasis should shift from pure skills alignment to greater consideration of cultural and strategic fit, ensuring that new hires can thrive in the company’s ecosystem and contribute to its overarching goals. To navigate these turbulent times, both candidates and businesses must adapt swiftly, harnessing strategic foresight and innovative approaches to remain competitive and resilient.
