A short while ago, we ran a Poll about whether or not AI could replace some Recruiters.

The results (ca. 600 votes) were as follows:

- 21%: Yes – transactional roles only
- 65%: No – soft skills are too important
- 14%: Unsure / Too early to say

Thoughts? #Recruitment

Hiring (and retaining) Recruiters is one of the toughest jobs when growing your recruitment business.

Recruiters, if you were to hire someone to work in your (perhaps hypothetical) recruitment business, what would you look for in the first couple of hires?

[Hilton Lord @HiltonLord]

"Recruiters never get back to unsuccessful candidates"

That’s complaint number 1, right? Always top of the list.

For us, it’s a simple argument… Recruiters should make an effort to get back to every candidate who's made a ‘sensible’ application to a ‘relevant' job.

Do Boiler Room Recruitment Agencies still exist?

Are there still people at their desk 8am – 8pm every day?

I’m coming across this less and less – has that old school mindset disappeared?

Have you worked in a Boiler Room over the last couple of years? #recruitment

[Hilton Lord @HiltonLord]

If you're looking to start your own Perm Recruitment Agency at some point, get comfortable pitching retainers before you make the leap.

You’ll do a better job for your clients. You’ll make more money. You’ll enjoy it more.

There are big advantages to having more than one person in your recruitment business.

That applies whether it’s a business partner or an employee.

We say this based on over 12 years of experience backing recruitment start-ups.

Way before the 2020 apocalypse, we gave everyone the option of working from home whenever they liked.

Recruiters, if you can bring yourself to comment on yet another WFH post, let us know your thoughts on WFH and whether you think it's here to stay. #recruitment

How would you feel about an 8-stage interview process

It’d have to be a bloody good job, wouldn’t it?

8 isn’t a number we've exaggerated for effect – it’s a very recent example from one of our partners’ clients. How many interviews is too many? Let us know. #recruitment

[Hilton Lord @HiltonLord]

"Recruiters never get back to unsuccessful candidates"

That’s complaint number one, right? Always top of the list.

We've seen it debated a hundred times.

What are your thoughts on this? #recruitment #HR

Are you the Kanye West of Recruitment?

If so, we probably can’t be friends.

A huge ego is a major red flag for us when we’re considering backing someone.

Confidence? Yup.
Drive? Of course.
Ambition? Defo.

Egotistical knob? Pass.

Resilience and being money-motivated are two of the most common traits spoken about when describing a good recruiter.

What other traits do you think a recruitment business owner needs (or should cultivate) to ensure success? #recruitment
