👨‍💻 Recruiter: I just send a shortlist of 3 candidates for xx position krub. 👨‍💼 Client: OK, let me have a quick look. 👨‍💼 Client: Hey, 2 candidates that you send across is actually a friend of a friend. We already know of them. 👨‍💻 Recruiter: But when we approach the candidates. They said they never submit their CVs to the company or apply to any job the job advertisement at your company yet. 👨‍💼 Client: Yes, but we know of them and they are friend of a friend. So you can't represent them. 👨‍💻 Recruiter: But ... you didn't approach them and you don't have their official CV.. 👨‍💼 Client: Doesn't matter, I know of them. In recruitment - often time, there are many grey areas in what count as candidate ownership. Does messaging the candidate via Linkedin count as ownership? Does knowing the candidate personally count as ownership? My answer = candidate ownership is when you achieve these criteria: 1. You have the candidate's official CV/Resume (Linkedin PDF doesn't count) 2. You have the candidate's consent to send their CV to the company (for recruitment agencies). Agree or Disagree? Anything else to add? #recruitmentstandard #recruitment

Friendly advice from a recruiter - A must read for your CV. Avoid putting these on your CV: 1. **Irrelevant personal information:** This includes details like your date of birth and marital status 2. **Negative language or remarks:** Avoid any negative comments about previous employers. 3. **Photos:** including a photo on your CV is unnecessary and may even lead to unconscious bias. Unless it's relevant to the job (e.g., modeling) 4. **Reasons for leaving previous jobs:** While it's important to be prepared to discuss reasons for leaving during interviews, your CV is not the place for this 5. **References' contact information:** Simply state "References available upon request." 6. **Health-related information:** Avoid disclosing health conditions or disabilities on your CV. Focus on your ability to perform the job. 7. **Long paragraphs or dense blocks of text:** Keep your CV concise and easy to read by using bullet points, short sentences, and clear formatting. Long paragraphs can be overwhelming for recruiters/hiring managers to read. 8. **Unprofessional email addresses or social media (Github):** Ensure your contact information is professional. Avoid inappropriate email addresses and make sure your social media profiles are clean and presentable. 9. **Spelling or grammatical errors:** Proofread your CV carefully to ensure there are no spelling or grammatical mistakes. Errors can create a negative impression and suggest a lack of attention to detail. such as '2022 - 3023' #thisisnoa.com #cvwriting #jobseekers #recruitment

Black Friday Discounts... for Recruitment? Why Not? Black Friday is right around the corner, and for most e-commerce companies, it’s the busiest (and often most profitable) time of the year. Promotions and discounts are everywhere, from gadgets to furniture—but have you ever thought about Black Friday in the context of recruitment? Here’s a bold thought: what if I offered you a 30% discount on the usual recruitment fees to start working together? For growing businesses, the right talent is the best investment you can make, and with this kind of offer, it could also be a cost-effective one. Whether you're gearing up for Q4 or already planning for 2025, hiring the right people at the right time could make all the difference. So, what do you think? Would a recruitment “Black Friday deal” move the needle for you? Or do discounts in this space make less sense, even during this big shopping season? Let me know your thoughts—or let’s connect to discuss how I can help your business find the talent it needs!

What I've learned from making over 30 000 cold calls? ➡️ Your tone matters more than what you say. ➡️ Who, what, why. Tell these in the beginning of the call. ➡️ Long monologues don't work. Questions and being curious works. ➡️ You can't give up after making one unanswered call. Meetings are waiting for you in the follow-up. ➡️ Talk and articulate clearly. ➡️ Only suggest a meeting if there's a reason for it. ➡️ One more call mentality. A bad day, week or month can change with one call. ➡️ Call script is a must have in the beginning. It shouldn't be read from the paper though. ➡️ Cold calling is a skill and you can get better at it. That's a wrap. What would you add?

After helping a client with their salary review and pay gap issue, I wanted to share some important information!! Did you know that the EU Pay Transparency Directive, which came into effect in June 2023, requires employers to disclose salaries during recruitment and comply with requests for pay data? While this directive only applies to EU member states (who have until June 2026 to implement it), UK companies will likely feel the pressure to match these standards. Salary transparency has several benefits, including narrowing the gender pay gap by reducing bias in pay decisions and increasing confidence in negotiating pay. It can also expand the candidate pool, as four-fifths of job seekers are less likely to apply for a role if they can’t see a salary advertised. Consider implementing transparent salary practices to promote fairness and diversity in your workplace! Good to hear your thoughts on this and how your business is making a difference! If this sounds like something we can help with please do reach out! #SalaryTransparency #GenderPayGap #Diversity #Fairness

😡"We're Specialists"😡 Our visit to Hillhead this year was an absolute blast! 🏞️ Meeting with clients and candidates in such a dynamic environment was invaluable. Unlike most Recruitment Companies where only managers or Senior Recruiters attend meetings, we made it a point to involve the entire team. Why? Because exposing our team to the different types of machinery on display ensures they can genuinely speak about the equipment candidates will be working on and the clients they will be working for. At Neos Engineering Recruitment, we take engineering understanding very seriously. This is not just about filling roles, it’s about ensuring our consultants are fully aware of the skill set required and making sure the candidates we send are relevant and capable of excelling. This depth of understanding is what sets our recruitment process apart. The team came back from Hillhead with incredible insights, which will undoubtedly enhance the quality of our placements. It's easy for recruiters to claim they are "specialists", but how many have truly seen the machinery their candidates will be working on, beyond a photo on Google? Not many. At Neos, we bring practical knowledge and firsthand experience to the table. Are you client going through candidates CV's from an "Specialist Engineering Recruiter" that are miles away from what you asked for? Give NEOS a call.

Seeking Transparency from Recruiters: As I continue my journey of seeking new opportunities, Sundays have become my dedicated day to set up my follow ups on positions I applied for in the previous week. I truly do aim to apply for roles where I meet at least 90% to 100 % of the requirements, ensuring I am a strong fit. However, I've encountered a recurring challenge: discovering additional requirements after I've already applied, which disqualifies me from consideration. This is incredibly frustrating, and I know I'm not alone. To all the recruiters out there, I understand your responsibility to present the best candidates to your clients and business owners. But by not listing all the requirements upfront, you're inadvertently creating extra work for both of us. I also know you may not have all the requirements, but my guess is you have a gut feeling you don’t have them all.  Transparent job postings save time and energy for everyone involved. If all the requirements were clear from the start, many of us might choose not to apply, focusing instead on positions that are a true match. Transparency benefits everyone and makes the job search experience more efficient and positive for both the applicant and the recruiter. #JobSearch #OpenToWork #Recruitment #Transparency #JobHunt #CareerTips #putmetowork!

🌟 Speed is the New Competitive Edge in Recruitment 🌟 When it comes to hiring top talent, speed isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s essential. 💨 🔹 Did you know? Research shows that the top 10% of candidates are often off the market within 10 days! Waiting to compare candidates and lengthening your hiring process can mean losing out on exceptional talent. In today's candidate-driven market, hesitation can be costly. Many clients want a full shortlist to compare before making a decision, which is understandable in an ideal world. However, with high-caliber professionals in high demand and limited availability, the reality is this: if we don’t act fast, someone else will. Here’s the winning formula: 🚨🚨Act Fast + Streamlined Process = Top Talent Secured.🚨🚨 The faster and more efficient we make the recruitment process, the better our chances of landing that standout hire before they’re snapped up by the competition. 🚀 Let’s prioritize speed and keep our eye on the end goal: hiring the best and brightest, before they’re gone. 🌟 #Recruitment #Hiring #TopTalent #HiringStrategy #Speed
