Most agencies have a CRM. Few see it as the central hub for their business. Too frequently consultants become addicted to job boards and Linkedin to find today’s candidates for today’s jobs. And the CRM becomes a glorified bucket of CVs. If you want to improve your results and increase consistency of placements, take a fresh look at your CRM. I expect your next 10 placements are hidden in there somewhere. And if you’ve forgotten them, they forgot you long ago.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Rookie2Recruiter.com - The People Engine For The Recruitment Industry.Delivering context-rich learning and development initiatives for all levels of people in recruitment.

Relationships are everything in recruitment. It’s the biggest defence for why AI is never going to take our jobs. Yet how often do you review the quality of relationships you have with clients, candidates and prospects? What does good look like? And what will better be? And how do you plan to get there? I share my beliefs around relationships in recruitment and why most recruiters are failing at building them.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Rookie2Recruiter.com - The People Engine For The Recruitment Industry.Delivering context-rich learning and development initiatives for all levels of people in recruitment.

The clear answer is no. And the answer is yes. Because it’s your perception that drives decisions you make – bottom line is you can prove it is or prove it isn’t.The reality is the phone is still an important part of the fabric of a good sales strategy. A conversation will book a meeting more than an email ever will. Today we see high levels of call reluctance. Those who choose to avoid the phone are limiting their results. Even experienced recruiters are getting caught in the phone reluctance. In this episode I share root cause and a way out.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Rookie2Recruiter.com - The People Engine For The Recruitment Industry.Delivering context-rich learning and development initiatives for all levels of people in recruitment.

The podcast is back and I’m ready to share ideas with those who want to listen. It’s been six months since I last published an episode. A lot has been happening for me and in the recruitment universe. I’ve got a couple of observations from the last six months – namely recruitment has got very good at talking about the importance of business development. Yet not necessarily implemented enough to navigate the current landscape. And that ever present love it and hate it subject – Artificial Intelligence. It’s only going to get better and it will replace some recruiters and won’t replace others.The real question is will it replace your candidates?------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Rookie2Recruiter.com - The People Engine For The Recruitment Industry.Delivering context-rich learning and development initiatives for all levels of people in recruitment.

This episode is full of gold (even if I say so myself). Everyone in recruitment claims “it’s all about relationships” and that getting people to know you, like you and trust you is important. But no one seems to share how to do it. Until now. I share the ten tools that build trust in relationship based sales and the order of ascension. Most are stuck at levels one to three. Take your client and candidate relationships high into the top tiers of level 8, 9 and 10 and you’ll have partners for life.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Rookie2Recruiter.com - The People Engine For The Recruitment Industry.Delivering context-rich learning and development initiatives for all levels of people in recruitment.
