Why is it hard to get a job as a Recruiter in 2024❓❓ Put simply, both Recruitment Agencies and Corporate Businesses have adopted a low-risk hiring strategy this year, still reeling from the reckless hiring of 2022 We all know what happened following this excess of hiring, bloated TA functions downsized, the market dipped for Agencies, all leading to mass redundancies As we enter Q4 2024, the market still hasn't fully recovered, but it has stabilized So, why is it still hard to get a job as a Recruiter❓❓ 👉 Agencies are really only hiring niche experts with local networks 👉 Full 360 agency experience is essential 👉 It's very difficult for an Agency Recruiter to change sector as the value is in their sector / niche expertise 👉 It's also difficult for Agency Recruiters to move In-House 👉 Most Corporates are hiring TAs through their internal referral network rather than sifting through 100's of job applications 👉 It can often be about 'who you know' rather than 'what you've done' 👉 If you've moved jobs several times over the last 4 years you are seen as high-risk Is the above rationale unfair? Possibly. But most Hiring Managers / Business Owners will say it's justified to avoid what happened in 2023 You may see our posts across Linkedin advertising multiple Recruiter roles all over the country and internationally Yes we are busy, yes the market has picked up, but our Clients are still only making strategic, low-risk hires As always, available for a chat with any / all Recruiters in my network.

The hiring game: internal or agency? 🚀 Have you ever wondered how long it really takes to fill a position? The average length of time varies depending on whether you're using internal hiring efforts or partnering with a recruitment agency. 🔵 **Internal Hiring Efforts:** - Longer time frames are common due to limited resources and multiple responsibilities. - On average, it can take between 30 to 45 days to complete the hiring process internally in the UK. (source: CIPD) - This includes posting the job, sifting through applications, conducting interviews, and finally making an offer. 🔵 **Using a Recruitment Agency:** - With their extensive networks and resources, agencies often speed up the process. - On average, a specialized recruitment agency, like Marketing Moves, can fill roles in 20 to 25 days. - This shortened timeline is crucial for maintaining momentum and ensuring your business doesn't miss out on top talent. 🌟 **Why the Difference?** Recruitment agencies streamline the process by handling all the legwork. From reaching out to qualified candidates to pre-screening and handling initial interviews, they lift the burden off your internal team. This doesn't just save time; it allows your team to focus on what they do best. 🏆 At Marketing Moves, we're proud to be the go-to recruitment partner for technology marketers.

Recruiting Realities: Beyond the Buzzwords and Back to Basics There are moments when we become so caught up in the details of recruiting that we lose sight of what matters most. 1. We have to have a brand! 2. We have to have an ATS! 3. And now, a new ATS! 4. We have to have a CRM! 5. Our job descriptions need a refresh, and let’s face it, our career site could use some work too. 6. And don’t get me started on the employee referral program. It's challenging to keep up with the thousand things that need to be done in recruitment. The truth is, though, that hiring isn't difficult. It all comes down to recruiting new members for your team. All you have to do is inform prospective prospects that you are hiring. There are many out there. The golden rule of recruiting is to let people know that you're seeking for new members for your team. Even though it's quite simple, a lot of qualified applicants miss out on opportunities because they were unaware of them. Spreading the word is the main goal of recruitment. It's possible that some of the applicants won't be a good fit, but that's a normal part of the process. You must spread the word about your hiring and cast a wide net in order to discover the suitable candidates. People, cast that net! Creating a culture where everyone in your organisation recognises the value of informing others about job openings is just as important as publishing on job boards or your career website. Regretfully, a lot of businesses fall short in this regard. They don't put up enough effort to let others know they're hiring, either because they're too proud or because they believe it makes them appear needy. This is a serious error that could ruin your efforts at hiring. Hiring is not about advertising; rather, it's about being modest and asking bright people to become part of your team. #hiring #Talentacquisition #EffectiveHiring #SpreadTheWordHiring #BacktoBasicsRecruiting

📞 Hiring Company to Recruitment Agency: "Yeah, we won’t be able to get back to you on the candidates until the end of next week. If we lose them, fair enough, we understand." 🗣️ Hiring Company to Recruitment Agency (6 weeks later): "I don't understand why we have no candidates for our role!" The number of times I’ve seen this exact scenario is crazy. One of the biggest killers of candidate experience is slow communication and excessive time between stages. I get it. Things come up. But here’s the deal: 🚫 If you’re not ready to hire – don’t hire yet. 🚫 If the budget isn’t signed off – don’t hire yet 🚫 If you haven’t mapped out the process – don’t hire yet 🚫 If internal candidates are still being assessed – don’t hire yet This exact scenario happened to me about three weeks ago. I won’t name the business, but while working on a couple of roles for them, it became clear they have a bad reputation among candidates in their niche due to similar poor experiences in the past. And guess what? People talk. If you find it difficult to hire, maybe it’s time to look in the mirror first. #Recruiters, how can we avoid this? Share your tips! #Jobseekers, what are your biggest frustrations with slow hiring processes, and how has it impacted your job search? #Hiring #CandidateExperience

Get the best out of your agency partner! 🤝💼 For hiring managers, partnering with a recruitment agency can be a game-changer. Hiring the right talent is not just about filling a position—it's about finding someone who can bring value, vision, and vitality to your team. Firstly, the "why." Recruitment agencies are specialised in sourcing talent quickly and efficiently. They have access to a vast pool of candidates and can leverage their networks to find the perfect match for your needs. 🚀 According to recent data from the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC), agencies can reduce the average hiring time by up to 45%, allowing you to focus on what you do best—running your business. Next, "how" to work with a recruitment agency. Clear communication is key. ✔️ Start by sharing a detailed job description and essential criteria; this ensures the agency understands your exact needs. Regular check-ins and feedback sessions will keep the process on track. Remember, it's a mutual effort—your input is crucial to refine the search and make adjustments as needed. Lastly, picking the right partner is vital. Look for an agency with a proven track record in your industry. Check testimonials and case studies to see their success stories. It's essential to choose a partner who aligns with your company's values and culture, ensuring the candidates they present will be the right fit.
