SCAM ALERT! Heads up, folks! There's a concerning scam targeting Staffing Agencies in Southern California that we need to be aware of. Here's how the scam works: - A company calls in a panic, claiming their payroll person left and they need help processing payroll. - They send a deposit check that bounces, followed by a promised ACH that never materializes. - They cash the payroll checks, leaving the agency holding the bag for thousands of Dollars. This is a timely reminder for all of us in the staffing world to stay true to our client onboarding best practices and thoroughly research new clients' credit worthiness. This scam appears to be prevalent in the Inland Empire. Let's stay vigilant, protect our organizations, and steer clear of falling victim to such fraudulent schemes. #ScamAlert #StaffingIndustry #StaySafe

Jax 5.0 has arrived here at Jobot! OG Jax has experienced all 5 iterations of Jax the software. When asked what his thoughts are about the Jax 5.0 release, he went on to say... "Jax 5.0 brings all the great features from 1-4 and adds that 5.0 punch to it! My only suggestion would be to integrate more high protein treats!" OK, OG Jax didn't actually say that, but he is certainly hoping for more treats (: #recruiting #recruitment #staffing #changinglives

"Fox Search Group has only had one replacement candidate in 3 years of business" Arguably my favorite statistic to go to when speaking of the quality Fox produces during the Recruitment process but what does it really mean? 🔔 Quality - The 3 rounds of Technical / Cultural vets our team completes are one that only benefits the interviewing process as we don't want to waste your time or our candidates time. 🔎 Due Diligence - We are not "resume slingers" we look for the yellow and red flags so you don't have them pop up 2 months down line. The last thing you want to do as a Hiring Client is have to revisit this hiring, and I promise we don't want to either. Getting hiring right, the first time. 🎬 Interviewing you as the hiring client, first. Who do you really want in your hire? What is most important? Technical Skills, Culture fit, on-site presence, salary, a mix of all, etc. Without a proper in-take call, we cannot properly access our candidates, it starts with you! 📈 Confidence. We offer a guarantee period just like most agencies, but we're not worried about it. If it gives you peace of mind, of course we understand, but on our end we know our candidates are the right fit for you so enjoy it! In this market, having a trusted partner to help you make the right hire is CRUCIAL. Let's have a conversation and see if Fox is the right partner for you. #Hiring #ITRecruitment #Staffing #Recruitment #IT #BusinessDevlopement #Sales

Fake Job Post? A survey of 1,000 politicians found that politicians are some of America's most honest, respected professionals. In a national survey of used car sales people uncovered that used car sales are among the most integrity-rich professionals. Recent reports from a survey of timeshare telemarketers show that timeshare sales have the highest integrity related to any sales field. ... Sounds pretty ridiculous, right? It is, because no one would ever expect people were dumb enough to fall for it. Yet, recruiters will try to peddle similar nonsense, suggesting they do not know anyone who would ever post a fake job. These outlamdicioua claims are often met with one claim or another, suggesting that marketing, pipeline building, and exploratory job posts are real. Gaslighting can be painful. This is not subjective - https://lnkd.in/g936jxMR "A fake job, ghost job, or phantom job is a job posting for a position that is non-existent or has already been filled." A job post is not free marketing; it is not market research; it is not database building. If you are posting a job, and do not intend to hire for it in the next 30-60 days, and that is generous, then it is a fake job. It is not a real job if you post a job until you find a unicorn or just in case the need and budget arise. I have worked with many well-known recruiting agencies who would actively post fake jobs, literally made up of thin air to collect resumes. Seeing so many recruiters try and claim this is not a common practice is delusional and a clear sign the recruiter is lying to you. Fake job post are very much a real, far reaching, and a systemic problem, and I look forward to the day when this practice is made a serious crime.

If you want to sell RPO solutions you must do this.  It’s a BD step most recruiters miss, and it stops them landing deals. If you want to win contracts for multiple hires - or multiple months/years there is no way to avoid it.  MULTI-THREADING. Most recruiters hate this… Why? Because they’ve been taught to avoid HR, sidestep Finance, ignore procurement.  But if you want to sign big deals you MUST meet these people head on. You MUST have a process for proactively bringing them to the table.  And you MUST address everyone of their concerns before you even think about starting to close.  If you want to sell RPOs but your BD Process doesn’t focus on MULTI-THREADING you’re in for a tough time.

Job search duration varies depending on various factors, including industry, experience level, geographic location, economic conditions, and individual circumstances. In-demand fields, competitive fields, entry-level positions, and middle to senior-level positions have shorter hiring processes. Geographic locations, such as urban areas and rural areas, may offer more opportunities but also higher competition. Economic conditions can also impact the duration of job searches. To streamline the process, job seekers should use active networking, job search tools, and tailor their resume and cover letter. They should also leverage their network, stay organized, maintain an updated LinkedIn profile, and consider temporary or freelance work. By understanding these variables and optimizing their job search strategy, job seekers can reduce the time it takes to secure a new role. By staying persistent, using their network, and continuously refining their approach, they can improve their chances of landing their desired job. Our Sperton Germany team recently launched few Talent Mobility programs aimed to help professionals in Healthcare, IT and other industries with their job search in Europe.
