The recruitment world never stands still. It’s always evolving, adapting to new challenges and opportunities. Right now, the buzzwords on everyone’s lips are AI and automation... Technology is changing the game - there’s no denying it. AI tools are making processes faster and more efficient, automating tasks that used to take hours and allowing recruiters to focus on higher-value activities. But will AI replace human recruiters? 🤷♀️ #Recruitment #AI #Recruiters

As the year comes to a close, it’s easy to look back at 2024 and feel like you didn’t quite hit every target you set for yourself. If you didn’t achieve everything you hoped to this year, our CEO Alex Dick has one message for you... #Reflection #Resilience #Recruitment

Christmas is often seen as a time of joy, celebration, and togetherness.  But for alot of people, it can also be a challenging and lonely time. Whether it’s due to loss, financial struggles, or personal battles, Christmas isn’t always easy—and that’s okay. It’s important to remember that while some are surrounded by loved ones, others may be quietly struggling. This is why kindness and compassion matter more than ever during the festive season. If you can, reach out to someone who might be finding it tough—a quick message, a phone call, or an invite for a coffee can make all the difference. To those who are finding this time difficult: you’re not alone. Take it one day at a time, lean on those you trust, and remember that it’s okay to feel however you feel. A small act of support can have a big impact. Be kind. Be supportive. Be there.

As candidates we’re told to come prepared to job interviews. Do the research on the company. Ask valuable questions at the end. Put in the work. Stand out. But this also applies to the company & hiring manager. “Let me just pull up your CV” “So tell me about your job history” “What are you looking for” All questions that could be answered if they looked through your CV… So hiring managers try this next time… “I can see that you’ve worked at X for 5 years, what would you say is your biggest achievement?” “It says you’re looking for your next challenge and more X responsibility. I think this role could be great for that and really push you in XYZ” “Can you name one thing that you have been missing from your career over the last few years that is important to you?” Asking questions like these is going to put the candidate at ease and you're going to create more discussion rather than playing 21 questions.

Corporate language that gives us the ick 🤮 Recruitment Agency Expo “get my ducks in a row” 🦆 “Nice to e-meet you” 🤷♀️ “Let’s throw this at the wall and see what sticks” - don't throw anything! “We need to invite you in for a meeting with HR” - probably because you threw something at a wall... “Eat the frog” 🐸 “Warm regards” - what's warm? “Teaching you to suck eggs” 🥚 “Ninja, Ninja environment” 🥷 “Smashing it” - smashing what? “Real quick” whilst they proceed to do it slowly... 💤 “Time is money” ⏳ “Just gotta get the sign off” - who's signing what? “Circle back to you” 🙄 “Leverage” - leverage what? Just be normal and use normal language people!! Any others? #Recruitment #Corporate
