Think hiring an RPO Specialist should be done in-house? The value of using a recruitment agent is not just a matter of convenience; it’s a strategic advantage. Recent studies by the University of Manchester found that companies using specialised recruitment agencies to hire RPO Specialists saw a 25% reduction in time-to-hire. This is a game changer for businesses looking to fill crucial roles without delay. With over 30 years in the industry, we at biggSolutions have seen first-hand how leveraging expert recruiters can streamline the hiring process. Recruitment agents have deep networks and access to talent pools that aren't available through traditional hiring methods. According to a 2023 CIPD survey, companies using recruitment agents for specialised roles like RPO Specialists reported a 35% increase in candidate quality. Engage with biggSolutions to discover how we can deliver the best RPO talent for your team.

Are you #OpentoWork ? Have you been put off having the "Open to Work" banner on your profile because of what pseudo experts, that have never worked in recruitment, said in a post? I have seen a number of posts and reposts of so called experts creating click bait by saying the Open to Work banner is desperate. The Open to Work Banner was created by LinkedIn to help people that want a job to be seen, the same as #Hiring is used by employers to let people know they are hiring. Recruiters want to be able to find the people that are open to a new job. If you don't use the Open to Work Banner, our clients struggle to fill their vacancies and you struggle to get that great job we want to talk to you about. #LinkedIn was originally created to help people find a job through online networking, don't be put off by Social Media Guru that don't have a clue about recruitment. If you are unsure about your job search, talk to a recruiter, we are the experts after all.

What do a Recruiter, a Car Salesperson, and Estate Agent have in common? The good ones are good, and the bad ones ruin it for the rest of us. We all get a bad reputation. But, why use a recruiter? As the world’s largest family-run recruitment company Reed, and other recruitment agencies, play a pivotal role in streamlining the hiring process, offering comprehensive services tailored to the needs of both employers and jobseekers. Below is some information why it's good to work with a recruiter, either as a business or a candidate. Its not all about cost. For me it's offering a supportive, professional and personal relationship. It's about knowing the market, the opportunities and giving you the options to make an informed decision when speaking to a specialist. For an informal chat, reach out directly to see how we tailor our services. #whyusearecruiter #reed #reedsouthampton #reedportsmouth #reedwinchester #finance #accounting #carsales #estateagent #avoidcowboys https://lnkd.in/eErQZprw

The question of salary, bonuses and benefits is unsurprisingly a topical subject in the world of Recruitment.....what is perhaps more surprising is the lack of understanding of the true science that motivates people to be successful. Dan Pink's Talk at the RSA is a true insight into how people are motivate.....pay people enough to take the issue of money off the table so they can think about their work! https://lnkd.in/ekiBif4U

Indeed Job Advert: We're looking for a Technical Consultant (Azure) with design, technical architecture and implementation experience... for £40,000 🤦‍♂️ The average salary for a Technical Consultant in the UK right now is £55,000 The average salary for an Azure Consultant in the UK right now is £70,000 I get it, different businesses have different needs and budgets. But to come to market for a role with a job title and salary that are so disconnected is a recipe for disaster. If you're hiring, look at the data 🧑‍💻 Align your job title and budget to the market. If your budget isn't big enough, it might be worth rethinking the job title. Do this, and you have a least a small hope of connecting with people that can do the role for the budget (although for £40k I doubt you're getting much architecture experience!) And if you don't know where to find that data... give me a shout, I have hundreds of data points to will make your hiring easier 😉

I have the pleasure of sitting down with Ray Walker CCWP this Wednesday 8th May, to discuss all things #IR35. We'll talk about the changes that came into effect in April and what that means for organizations and contractors. It got me thinking about the spotlight often shining on permanent recruitment in the realm of talent strategies, talent pooling and DE&I initiatives. Freelance or interim recruitment, on the other hand, is frequently viewed as reactive and challenging to integrate into long-term strategies. In many cases, the engagement with contractors falls outside the purview of the TA team, instead handled by a separate entity focused on project resourcing. However, as the economic landscape continues to demand adaptation, with unfortunate layoffs of permanent staff becoming more prevalent and an increasing number of workers transitioning to contracting roles, it prompts a critical question: Is it time for organizations to re-calibrate their approach to freelancer hiring? Especially if organisations are determining contractors as Inside of IR35. Whether a freelancer is engaged for a single day or a year-long project, their presence reverberates throughout organisational culture and productivity, akin to that of a permanent employee. It's important to acknowledge the impact freelancers have. I've had some interesting conversations with the team at Worksome who are doing some great work trying to bridge the gap between permanent TA strategies and freelance resource needs. Would love to hear your thoughts on the topic!

Being a 'Specialist Recruiter' is not a new concept, everyone has a niche now. But, if you genuinely know the space you support.....and can build trust and credibility in your market over the phone - why not do that at scale? I spoke to a client last month who had 27,000 1st connections specific to the market they support struggling for new client relationships. What was their BD strategy? Over a month emailing a list of 2500 cold contacts from ZoomInfo using a 4 stage email campaign....you know the ones. Responses so far....Zero. What were they doing on LinkedIn to engage what is a fairly hefty audience....nothing........in fact they had never posted anything, ever. Based on user stats over 20,000 of that same Recruiters connections visit LinkedIn at least once a week for 7.5 minutes on average. You can communicate with them everyday through content. And they come voluntarily - Its a completely different communication strategy . If they spent some time talking about whats happening in their market right now....building some credibility and trust they could reach 8x more than the cold list off of ZoomInfo in a shorter period. If only 1% of that audience ask the recruiter for help thats 200 enquiries a week! So again.... if you rate yourself in your niche. Why are you waiting for that connected call, or email response to give yourself the chance of standing out?
