📢 4 x Placements across 3 clients last week. 🦄 2 @ Tech Unicorn - Despite working with other agencies and using a very large TA function for months, we delivered two AE hires in just 3 weeks! 🌐 1 @ SaaS Platform - From job spec to placement, only 2 weeks. 📲 1 @ Customer App Company - After searching on their own for months, we stepped in and filled the role in just 7 weeks. We are more than just a CV source, reducing time to hire and the number of interviews required. ✅ Our reputation and established network allows us to engage candidates that are not actively looking ✅ The trust we have built in the community also enables us to bring the best candidates to the table, often who have already rejected or discounted the same position they had seen advertised. ✅ We get the data flow and business context involved, allowing us to technical screen our candidates and reducing the number of interviews hiring managers conduct. We have a lot of case studies now. If you are hiring Data or Analytics Engineers then we would love to explain why so many of the UKs top brands are trusting us to make their data hiring easier for them. ☎️📧 Cognify Search

If the agencies providing the best candidate experience outperform the industry average on fill rate by 40%, how can any agency afford not to measure the service they and their clients are providing. The results are clear, the data doesn't lie. Data and results are from agencies in the UK using Recruiter Insider.

B2B sales = where the progression and reward is as a salesperson If you’re serious about your sales career then you’ll need this experience. Particularly if you want to break into tech sales. If you have any cold outreach, prospecting or outbound calling on your CV from a B2B environment then use it. That’s transferable. And if you don’t, then it might be worth considering other B2B sales roles as a stepping stone. Sometimes it’s better to earn and learn. Rather than wait for the perfect opportunity. #salesjobs #jobhunting #salescareer

🔄 The Supplier Switch Dilemma: A Sales Leader's Perspective 🔄 I often hear from sales leaders, that convincing buyers to change suppliers is like herding cats—full of resistance and unpredictability! Our teams often face the ultimate challenge: getting prospects to abandon their comfortable status quo. It’s not just about the pitch; it’s about overcoming loyalty, fear of change, and that nagging doubt that the new guy might not deliver. Let’s be honest: changing suppliers is a leap of faith. It's like switching coffee brands - exciting until you realize the new blend is not at all what you’re used to. ☕️😱 So, to all the sales leaders out there: let’s empower our teams with strategies to navigate these complex waters. From building trust to showcasing undeniable value, we need to help our salespeople become the change champions and deliverers that buyers need! Cheers to turning reluctance into enthusiasm and making the leap to greener pastures a little less daunting! 🌱 #SalesLeadership #SupplierSwitch #ChangeManagement #SalesStrategy

A lovely review to finish a busy and successful week on ❤️🙏 Well done Lucy Dodgson. If you're looking to hire great B2B tech content marketers and writers, you know where to come. 📞 'I recently had the pleasure of working with Market Recruitment in securing my new job, and I can't recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, their professionalism, expertise, and dedication were evident in every interaction. The first thing that struck me was their personalised approach. Unlike some other recruitment agencies I've dealt with in the past. Lucy took the time to truly understand my skills, experience, and career aspirations. She didn't just try to fit me into any available position; instead, she listened and only put me forward for roles that were a perfect match. Lucy kept me informed at every stage of the process, providing regular updates and feedback from potential employers. This transparency gave me confidence and reassurance throughout what can often be a stressful time. Ultimately, Market Recruitment played a pivotal role in helping me secure my new job, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Their dedication, personalised approach, and professionalism set them apart from other recruitment agencies, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone seeking employment opportunities.' #testimonial #happycustomer #recruitment #b2bmarketing

It's Sunday, a day off for most. Yet despite being away from work, the most successful businesses I know are still creating opportunities and growing revenue. How? Lead generation. Staffed by overseas business development specialists. Pushing it 24/7. ☑ Identifying your ICP (Ideal Customer Profile) ☑ Scraping contact info either manually or with software ☑ Creating 3-5 stage targeted bulk email campaigns via cold outreach ☑ Researching and personalizing messages ☑ Turning cold outbound into warm inbound ☑ Nurturing leads through sales funnel ☑ Scheduling calls/appointments with sales personnel The above is done at volume, 250-500+ cold outreaches per day. Overseas business development and lead generation specialists are highly skilled in the above and come at an affordable price. This model has significantly increased revenue and improved margins for numerous businesses. For a remarkably affordable cost. The SaaS industry swears by this approach. This is how they generate dozens of sales call per day. Others have caught on, from dentists and IT companies to CPA firms. Anyone selling a service can benefit. Lead generation is a key weapon in the modern tech/internet marketing landscape. Hiring an overseas specialist or a team will save you 70% on the dollar while still generating the same opportunities. #leadgeneration #sales #marketing #businessdevelopment

2 tips to increase how often you get approached for relevant roles on LinkedIn ⬇: ✅ Add as many keywords to your profile as possible, you would be surprised how many Payments sales professionals don't have Payments on their LinkedIn profile and it can be causing you to lose out on loads of amazing opportunities. Recruiters use specific keywords to search for the most relevant candidates for a role, some jobs will be industry specific or will require someone who has sold in to a specific vertical so get them on your profile!! ✅ Know what role you want to be approached for and mirror your LinkedIn to be similar. I'm not saying lie about your experience but you can highlight key points which are more relevant to your desired role. These things not only make my life easier when head-hunting but will make sure you are getting approached for more desirable positions. Salt

🔎 A sign of how the Tech and Digital market is currently doing as we head into a fresh new month. We sat down with 2 of the region's biggest tech players this week; 🌟 One has plans to hire over 100 this year in Tech alone 🌟 The second is looking to hire 100 over next 2-4 months, across all areas of the business What's interesting is that these will be a combination of head office hires, satellite offices and fully remote positions. One client will be pushing for contract hiring and the other prefers to make prem hires. The beauty of partnering with a Talent Solution business like Discovered MENA is that we are a one-stop shop and cover both long term and short term hiring. We really can tailor solutions to meet our client's needs and we have a brilliant team of Talent Partners and Scouts who are speaking to the best Tech and Digital talent daily for a rapid turnaround. In fact, we are that agile we managed to submit a proposal to a Group Head of Talent, within 2 hours of the request, which they could present to the Executive team the same afternoon, in regards to a 50-position hiring project. May is looking very positive for those looking for a new opportunity and for clients looking to secure great talent to drive the business forward. #disruptingthefuture #talentsolutions #perm #contracthiring

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!

The fee structure most agencies use with clients is pretty standard industry-wide (X% of the candidate's salary for perm roles). Some agencies use alternative fee structures since it works better for both parties and creates more alignment - e.g. ongoing monthly retainers, embedded recruiters/RPO, flat rates, etc. Some markets have unique factors that make a non-standard fee structure more mutually beneficial for both the agency/client. Pricing structure and strategy is something that most agencies don't really dig into since it's easier to go with the status quo since it's what clients expect and are used to. I'm curious - if you've used alternative fee structures, how do you like it? Has it worked out better for everyone long term?
