One of my pet peeves in recruitment is the below conversation: Me: Sends Message Candidate: "what's the salary?" Me: "£70-100k Base + c. 10% Bonus." Candidate: "Not enough." Me: "So I know for future reference what does it need to be to make sense?" Candidate: ................... Just respond saying I need X to move, it means I can put you in that folder when roles do come up & not contact you with irrelevant stuff again and if it's close e.g. £110k I can ask the client to stretch the budget. #recruitmentetiquette #fintechrecruitment #salarynegotiation

I've interviewed 1000s of Sales & Commercial staff who have subsequently gone on to have 100s of interviews with Volition clients. Of all the skillsets we recruit for, it is still the one where "gut feel" feedback on people has the largest bearing on the outcome and who is hired. Here's a list of the best questions I & my clients have asked over the years. If you're hiring hopefully you want to incorporate some of these in to your interview process and if you're a candidate seeking out new employment hopefully these help you prepare for your next interview. Are there any other great questions you ask or have been asked? #fintechsales #fintechinterviews #salesinterview #interviewprep

In response to my post about how astronomical NY salaries are at the moment, someone reached out to me who is a British E2 Visa Sponsor in the US. This means Brits who know they can get a role in the US – maybe working for an ex-colleague or business, but just can’t get sponsored can get a Visa through him. He would then run you as a contractor on-site at the client and take a margin. He also saw this as a way for US companies to hire cheaper labour (paying a Brit their UK equivalent salary or slightly more) to move over to the US. Not as sure how I feel about that, as being paid below market is never ideal but it was an interesting conversation. So if you’re a US Business interested in hiring UK Talent as Consultants, drop me a message and I can connect you.  #e2visa #uktousimmigration
