The UK is widely recognized as one of the most fiercely competitive markets for recruitment and staffing. It’s no surprise that there seems to be a trend for them to expand into the US. Since talking to Elliott Manning - London NYC Austin Charlotte Cape Town on THE SEARCH podcast, people from the UK have been asking me for help entering the US staffing market. UK people need to get through some red tape, including state-by-state registrations, tax IDs, compliance, etc. but these things can be outsourced. ATTN: US perm placement agencies need to set up staffing immediately,  because these guys from the UK are good. PS: What do you think of this British Invasion?

One of the first steps on LinkedIn is to figure out your audience. And because there are millions on here... you need to focus on a niche. "Sales recruiter" isn't enough of a niche "Tech sales recruiter in the UK" isn't enough of a niche "Insurtech sales recruiter in the UK" is probably niche enough It's so easy to find any hire now But it's so much harder to find the RIGHT hire. This is where companies are happy to pay the fees ... to get access to niche, untapped talent that you can't fling a message to on LinkedIn.

Do you ever get frustrated when you're looking for Sales candidates with experience in emerging AI technologies, but very few are available? Well, now you won't. Cloudcat Recruitment has broken down the SaaS market into 200 sectors, and identified Software which is adjacent and transferable to your new AI technology. With this demarcation, you can build a mature Sales team with proven winners who have sold a very similar software to a very similar end-user. Check out the example below to learn more about how Cloudcat Recruitment has broken down the SaaS space into contingent parts, and how we categorise similar technologies in underdeveloped or saturated candidate pools.

EP#41 of RLU Podcast with Simon Harris, CRO @ Coptrz Listen / Download / Watch via: https://lnkd.in/ej9hneHG Delving into Simon Harris' insightful conversation offers fascinating points on sales, leadership, recruitment, and revenue generation. As the Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) at Coptrz, his perspective comes majorly from managing revenue streams in a drone technology company. Let's distill some pivotal points from his discussion. Importance of Guiding Junior Staff Simon underscores his belief in organic growth and the vitality of nurturing and training young employees. With the drone industry finding it challenging to source experienced professionals, he emphasises on developing in-house capacities. Emphasizing Personal Qualities For Simon, effective communication, charisma, integrity, a strong work ethic, and good administrative skills stand as hallmarks of successful leadership. A keystone in his view is the ability to own up to mistakes and learn from them. Key to Success: Work Effort and Honesty When it's about dexterity in recruitment and generating substantial revenues, Simon swears by the power of work effort and honesty. He identifies these virtues as the pivotal elements in succeeding in any business endeavour. Work-Life Balance & Self-Care While emphasising hard work and commitment, Simon shares his routine and discusses the importance of finding time for reflection and recreation. He insists on the importance of structuring the day around when one can perform at their best and leaving the office when the work is done. Advice to Younger Self Lastly, Simon Harris' one piece of advice to his 26-year-old self is to "slow down to speed up". He elucidates this cryptic mantra by stressing the importance of planning and truly focusing on the tasks at hand. According to Simon, it serves as the key to maintaining balance and achieving success in one's career. In summary, Simon Harris' discussion provides invaluable insights into sales, leadership, and revenue generation. Central to his philosophy are the pursuits of organic growth, fostering junior staff talent, and the role of individual virtues and social selling as game-changers in the business world. Youthful salespeople and aspiring leaders have much to learn from Simon! #podcast #leadership #revenue #socialselling

I've been triggered. The latest Royal Academy of Engineering and Beauhurst report - 'Spotlight on Spinouts 2024' - makes for grim reading*. Yes, there are plenty of amazing innovations. Yes, there are lots of inspiring and well meaning entrepreneurs. But too few of these companies are actually progressing. And yes, I appreciate how difficult the journey is. Much of today's discourse centers on the potential of the innovation. I have no interest in that. I want to get into the management of these businesses - specifically, the activity, decisions and compromises that are made in order to move these companies from the lab to the market, or at least to the next stage of the journey. This new podcast, Lab-to-Market Leadership, will talk with entrepreneurs, corporates, investors, and policymakers about what it actually takes to guide an innovation from the bench to full-scale market deployment. We'll talk with people who have actually made the journey - as well as gather perspectives from those who have been involved - and consider the lessons and insights picked up along the way. If you care about this space, you're going to want to listen. (* the report is very well put together, by the way) #science #deeptech #innovation
