What's the trickiest vacancy you're trying to fill? Often it's not the "Head of xxx" or "xxx Manager". It's a Technical Consultant with 2 years' experience. Or a Junior DBA. Recently it took me 2 months to fill a 1st Line Application Support Specialist role. These entry-level type of positions are critical for any company, but especially for SMEs. In my case it was for a construction business. Technical skills were important but CULTURE fit was massive. Stakeholder management skills were critical in order to deal with a wide variety of different users. We got there in the end, and both candidate and manager are a perfect match! But why so hard to find the right person, when you're hiring at entry/junior level? ➡️ There's not a lot of work experience to go on, so lots more CV screening and interviewing required. ➡️Typically less engagement, so harder to pin down for availablity and commit to interview. ➡️ More susceptible to counter offers. ➡️ Unrealistic salary expectations. What issues do you face when hiring such roles? Comments ⬇️ please!

'Can we talk about the economic state of UK staffing right now?' This UK recruitment downturn looks set to last 📉 "Net income fee is down YoY 14% Robert Walters, 15% Hays and 16.7% Page Group. Forecasts have been declining all year. Share prices have been heading broadly south since the post-Covid-19 hiring bulge." If costs stays the same, profit drops. Which could mean big redundancies in the market. You need a lower cost of carry whilst driving revenue. 💷 Instead of periods of large hiring and firing companies should seek to improve efficiency. Companies should look at strategies to improve data 📊 Better data can improve search results, which can reduce time to hire and job advertising spend. It can improve marketing and new business efforts as well as ability to leverage third parties and AI to drive more revenue. Finally, it's important for effective reporting and analytics.

𝐌𝐢𝐝𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 / 𝐏𝐚𝐲𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐯𝐬 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 🤺 With rules being put in place more contracts are being offered to employed / midlance professionals rather than freelancers. Due to DBA law we are seeing strict requirements for non ZZP workers specifically in Government / Semi-Government opportunities. As a freelancer would you consider this type of employment? #DevOps #Cloud #Recruitment

In Q2 of this year in the UK the average Perm Consultant made 4 placements and the average Temp Consultant made 6 placements. (UK) When we looked at the consultants at the Top 5 agencies on Recruiter Insider for Candidate Experience, we discovered that: 🚀 the average Perm Consultant there made 5 placements 🚀 the average Temp Consultant made 10 placements. In Q2 alone, the agencies with the highest candidate experience scores made 1 extra Perm placement per consultant and an 4 extra temp placements per consultant. Highlighting as always the impact candidate experience has on your placement numbers. The data doesn’t lie, an improved candidate experience means more placements. But if you are not measuring this you can improve it either. So if you want to make more placements get in touch with me. The data doesn’t lie!

Want to outshine your competition and attract top JavaScript talent? Start by getting everything in order before entering the market. Here’s how to do it: ✅ Ensure the role is approved ✅ Confirm your budget/salary is set ✅ Organise your competitive interview process, including deciding who will be involved and time frames ✅ Establish a clear framework for successful interviews (and stick to it) ✅ Define a strong value proposition Otherwise, you’ll face frustration, miss out on great candidates, waste time and money, and end up back at square one. The JavaScript market moves incredibly fast and candidates often have 3-5 processes they are interviewing at...sometimes more! Make things easier for yourself. Get prepared first. Ps. A good recruiter will be able to consult you on all of the above.

What’s more impressive as a hiring manager- a top performer of a company, or someone with higher billings? I’ve spoken to 2 candidates recently who are top billers in their company, both with billings >100k There are other candidates at other firms who are billings 200k< but are nowhere near the top of the leaderboard Surely those who are billing 200k+ are going to be more profitable and bring in the most revenue for the business, meaning they are more desirable? However, if everyone at the same company is provided with the same tools and training, then those who are at the top are more impressive, meaning the top billers generating >100k are more desirable? It’s important to understand all of the facts during the hiring process- just because someone has lower numbers, it doesn’t mean they don’t have the potential to shoot to the top of the leaderboard given the proper training, support, and structure What do you think? Would you rather hire a top performer (regardless of their billings), or stick to billing number (regardless of where they sit on the leaderboard)?

27 x 1st stage interviews. That's how many it took for a Founder to narrow down their shortlist into a manageable pool of Engineers to hire from. That's approx. 13 hours of pre-screen calls. After days of scrolling, searching, filtering and reviewing profiles and CVs. Not to mention co-ordinating diaries, managing expectations, and reviewing processes. Time, effort and energy that could be spent on building the business, product, customer base or fund raising. Or any of the other 101 things that needed doing. There absolutely should be a better way of doing things. But unless you're a Founder with an extra few thousand quid lying around to spend on agencies or talent teams.... What are your options? #hiringintech #techjobs
