Most in recruitment understand the importance of finding the pain - unearthing the problem in their sales process. The clearer we are on the problem, the easier it is to showcase the value of the solution we provide. Unfortunately most clients don't recognise their problems. Because, just like us, they only know what they know. To increase your suc…

The elephant in the (meeting) room for recruiters is the simplicity of what they do. When you meet a prospect who boldly claims that “all agencies are…” or “other agencies are willing to do it for less” that there is little to no discussion about what “it” actually is. Whatever you recruit – CEOs on million dollar base or legions of temps to work i…

Training is in high demand in recruitment currently with businesses seeking to upskill their consultants. Much of the focus of this training is sales and BD orientated.

Everyone who works in recruitment has an opinion about KPIs. It seems (from the stream on Linkedin) to be a polarising topic. My call on it? A business without KPIs is going to be weaker for it. And just because you’ve worked for a recruitment agency that beasted you with them it doesn’t make them broken. It only means the beasting was. A KPI is a …

When you work in recruitment, life can feel like a series of jobs that get worked. Some you fill, some you don’t. To increase the number of jobs you successfully fill it helps to see the process as a campaign. To run it as a project. It’s not a vacancy your working on (too transactional) it’s a campaign to deliver the hiring messages to the right p…

Positioning helps others to understand your offering and how you can add value to their business. Many of the prospects (and clients) you encounter will have an assumption as to how you work and what you do based upon interactions working with your competitors. That gives them fluency with your competitors, not you. Recruitment agencies still compe…

Recruitment agencies across the globe are seeking the secret sauce to stand out from their competitors. When clients are hiring, most agencies focus on the “finding” of talent. The race to get product (CVs) to the client and to begin the process – to get candidates into interview or started in a contract. And in those agencies the emphasis is on qu…

As obvious as the title is, not everyone recognises this to be their truth. And when your customers (or prospects) treat you like your competitors it becomes more difficult to stand out. Being different is hard (apparently). Most recruitment agencies take the other path and attempt to stand out by being better. When your marketing and sales message…

How we frame in our mind what we do, how we do it and why we choose to do it for our customers is the start of our sales process. If we can’t formulate a coherent presentation to back up “This is how I work” we’re in danger of making assumptions. Assumptions that prospect already knows, that their experience with other recruiters makes them savvy t…

Review and self-reflection are an important part of growing your business. Taking time out of the day to day to look at what has been happening in your business.

How do you know how good you are at your job? What is your benchmark to create a definition of good? You know what you know. Only with deeper thought do you become aware of what you know you don’t know. And this reflection time is often missing. Take something as simple, yet as sophisticated as job qualification. Or as I prefer to call it – briefin…

What separates the average recruiters from those who are achieving exceptional results? It's all in the corner cutting. Many recruiters want to get from A to Z as quickly as possible, but in doing so, they sacrifice the quality of the steps in between. This leads to incomplete client qualification, missed opportunities with candidates, and a lack o…
