2024 is a year of milestones for me! I turn 40 soon, but I celebrated 20 years in Recruitment last week. Meaning half of my life I've dedicated to this one industry. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of connecting talented professionals with their dream roles, partnering with businesses to build exceptional teams, and witnessing countless success stories. Each interaction, each placement, and each negotiation has shaped my passion for this field. Reflecting on this journey, I’m grateful for the relationships forged, the challenges overcome, and the growth achieved. From early mornings sifting through lists of candidates to late nights ordering pizzas to the offices while we stay to fill those last orders, every moment has contributed to my expertise (including having 5 on-call phones that would all ring at 4 am simultaneously). The recruitment landscape has evolved—embracing technology, diversity, and remote work. Yet, the heart of our work remains the same: understanding people, and their aspirations, and helping them find their perfect fit. To my colleagues, clients, candidates, and mentors—thank you for being part of this incredible ride. Your trust, collaboration, and shared victories have fueled my passion. Here’s to the next chapter! Let’s continue shaping careers, building teams, and making a positive impact. #Recruitment #CareerMilestone #20YearsStrong #Manpower #ManpowerUK #ManpowerGroup

As we look ahead, it’s clear that traditional career paths aren’t meeting the mark. Here’s what to focus on in 2024: ☑️ Stop traditional career pathing to fixed destinations ☑️ Start agile career pathing to changing destinations ☑️ Design careers that facilitate growth by aligning business needs with employee goals ☑️ Frame professional journeys through searchable career portfolios ☑️ Build roles that expand expertise across various domains Let’s make 2024 the year of dynamic and adaptive career paths! #HRPriorities #2024Goals #CareerDevelopment #Opticruiter #HR #Recruitment

Ever regretted a new job decision? Starting a new job can be a rollercoaster ride. In the UK, research shows that nearly 20% of new starters regret their decision within the first few weeks. Moreover, about 1 in 5 employees leave their new role within the first 3 months. That's unsettling, right? I remember one new starter who faced absolute chaos on their first day. They arrived only to find out HR hadn't completed the paperwork, so the team wasn't expecting them. No desk, no laptop, and a team embroiled in a massive row. Not exactly the warm welcome anyone hopes for! This is why working with a recruiter can make all the difference. We streamline and simplify the onboarding process, ensuring everything is in place for new starters to feel welcomed and valued from day one. Say goodbye to unnecessary stress and hello to a smoother transition. What was your worst first-day experience?

10, 20 , 30 years at the same company and last day is 12/31... I was asked to speak in front of a group of employees yesterday at a company that will be shutting down operations come 12/31/2024. I represented CLASSIC RECRUITING, LLC. The company has been a staple in the area for over 75 years. Talk about commitment, these employees were perfect examples of people that enjoyed their jobs. They felt secure, but unfortunately the company needed to go in another direction because of financial and operational purposes. I spoke not only about how to write and build a resume, I spoke about the road ahead and what to expect when being let go from a company. It's an emotional roller-coaster that I was once part of years ago. I went over what to expect on the first week of unemployment and the weeks that follow. you have to remember, IT WASN'T YOUR FAULT. - We discussed how to network and who to ask for assistance for another possibility in work. - Went over how their next opportunity could be a better opportunity. - How to do your homework when applying at a company and interviewing ✨ Our futures are not guaranteed, it is our responsibility to plan as much as we can for future detours in life and within our careers. ✳️ You can show up early and stay late everyday but it is out of your control if one day the company decides to go in another direction. Within your career you have to be your own entrepreneur even when you work for a company, you need to plan for the future, you need to evaluate yourself on performance and what you want to accomplish in the future. Treat yourself like an employee. When companies decide to go in another direction, you will be able to stay afloat financially and emotionally. 2025 Starts in another 29 days, start the year off being your own entrepreneur EVEN if your employed by a company. #plantclosure #2025 #hr #chro #vphr #executiveleadership #seekingnewopportunity

Love this perspective that as an advisor you have Subrata Kabiraj! It's a culture thing and assimilation has a model that Edgar Schein talked about... .. Assimilation can be speeded up, following the process that Prof Schein recommends.. .... In all cases, it is like a hockey stick curve.. The first line to the New Staff sounds a bit divisive and a bit crushing... This may snub the curious minds... Try talking about it from an intergroup communication perspective (New Staff to the Tenured ones, Company/Leaders/Enablers in HR, Fin, IT, Admin, Sec, Legal, etc to the New staff)! And one can discover lots of interesting conversations. The Groupon CEO once said that, no one but the CEO must lead new employee orientation programs! When I attended a new employee orientation program during the remote work mandate due to Covid restrictions, 13 people joined virtually for a 2 day long session and 11 of them kept their videos turned off, some presenters didn't even come on video, some were late by 45 mins and new staff kept waiting. The HR guy who was leading the induction, telling everyone how to succeed in this company was someone who was a Covid time joiner and had never visited the office, was yet to see his first performance review process. When I asked him how many hours of crucial conversations he had with senior leaders about company vision, priorities and talent and capabilities, he had none to mention... And such folks tell you how to succeed in the firm.. Q-Why was he sent to run such an important program, when they had tenured HR leaders galore? A- As I said, it's a culture thing.. 😄
