Scenario: You have R86,400.00 in your bank account and someone stole R90 from you. Would you get so upset and throw away the rest of the R86,310 in the hope that the person who took your R90 will give it back?? Highly doubtful. You’ll more than likely move on and continue about your business. Perspective: We get 86,400 seconds in every day; 90 seconds of someone’s negativity shouldn’t ruin the rest of your 86,310. Be Intentional: Don’t sweat the small stuff, change your perspective. You’re in control. Own your day. #Perspective #OwnYourDay

SA Recruiters, our latest "Ask Dem" is LIVE NOW on our Ask Dem LinkedIn group! ❓Ask Dem: Fee Discount before being Asked? Hi Dem, I wish I had clients like this all the time. In the first 4 months of this year we will invoice one of our best clients R600K. We have given them a slight discount in previous years when they asked for a discount. Our fee with them is 17.5%. My question is, should we be proactive and offer a discount before they ask us for one? Our hope is that this would strengthen our relationship further. We are currently working on two more high level positions for their company. 🙋🏻DEMsays… FOLLOW THE LINK BELOW AND JOIN THE ASK DEM LINKEDIN GROUP TODAY AND READ DEM’S RESPONSE… https://lnkd.in/duFRx7D7 Many say that the most popular part of DEMsays is the ongoing “Ask Dem❓” Q & A’s for Recruiters. A recruiter's day is full of tough decisions and judgment calls.

At Visions Recruitment, we believe that the true measure of success in recruitment goes beyond just filling positions. It’s about finding the right fit for both the candidate and the company as well as building pure relationships with both parties, ensuring long-term satisfaction and performance. Here’s how we quantify our success: Quality of Hire: We look at the performance and progression of new hires over time to assess the quality of our matches. This includes evaluating their contributions, cultural fit, and retention rates. Time to Fill: We track the time it takes from job requisition to offer acceptance to ensure efficiency in our recruitment process without compromising on quality. Candidate Satisfaction: Through feedback surveys, we gauge the satisfaction of candidates with our recruitment process, aiming for a positive experience regardless of the outcome. Client Retention: The ongoing partnerships with our clients serve as a testament to our ability to consistently meet their recruitment needs. Cost-Effectiveness: We monitor the cost per hire, ensuring that we provide value to our clients by optimizing our recruitment strategies to be both effective and economical. Diversity and Inclusion: Success for us also means building a diverse workforce for our clients, reflecting our commitment to inclusive recruitment practices. By focusing on these key metrics, Visions Recruitment ensures a comprehensive and successful recruitment strategy that benefits you, the professional client and you, the professional candidate. #Visionsrecruitment #Visualisingthefuturetogether

I once got a cold call from a Recruitment Agency in Cape Town asking if I was in the market for new opportunities. This was the only question that was asked and the only time I got to speak over the next ten minutes. The caller must've had a PHd in Yappanomics because she continued to tell me all about their fantastic culture, how they are changing the game blah blah blah. After she finished, she proceeded to tell me the salary range. The commission structure... and last but not least... THE DESK COST 😂 Not my proudest moment, but I couldn't help but laugh a little. I was just so taken back at the fact I didn't get a word in throughout the entire conversation. A conversation let alone an interview goes two ways. I could immediately gauge what type of environment I would be setting myself up for if I entertained the conversation any further. I felt like I was being spoken to off of a piece of paper with a script on it. Also... A desk cost?... Excuse my ignorance, maybe I'm speaking out of my means but I don't believe I know of another job that charges their employees for the infrastructure they use... Imagine a builder got charged on their salary because they were provided the bricks to build the house... This feels extremely outdated. To all my fellow recruiters, I'm curious... Have you ever experienced something like the above? If you are 9-5 on site Monday to Friday, you're running out of money by the end of the month AND YOU ARE BEING CHARGED A DESK COST - I want to hear from you. I want to hear about your position, what it consists of and how you're being remunerated and looked after. This is a safe space - let's connect and let's chat more about your situation 🤝

𝐋𝐞𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧📖 One of the things I'm most proud about in my Role in Ocho is how we prepare our candidates for interview. Truth is, most candidates will face failures and rejection as part of their journey and how we pick ourselves up, dust ourselves down and use that feedback as a positive tool to improve performance is the only way to move forwards. Being genuine experts in our field, we can provide the most detailed and useful insights into the Interview processes people face, reducing anxiety and allowing them to give the best possible representation of themselves and the best possible chance of securing their dream role. Think of us as the Mickey Goldmill in your corner, using our knowledge in the ring to compliment your experience and give you the confidence to get the absolute best performance every time. If you've interviewed unsuccessfully recently and you're wondering where you're going wrong, get in touch, one of our team will be more than happy to help you secure your next career move! Right now I'm keen to speak to: 🥊 QA Engineers (Intermediate & Senior) 🥊 Front-end Developers (React & TypeScript) 🥊 Python Engineers (ideally with some AWS) Drop me a PM today Ryan Quinn Phil Gamble Aaron Somers Colin McAlinden Brendan McCrory Andrew Harrison Mark McCracken Nicola McKee

Email Scam aimed at Recruiters Just noticed this. Scam candidate uplaods CV to database (such as CVlibrary) Potential victim (such as me) sends an email to promote a job. I think the scammers email has been auto generated [first name][Last name][email protected] Scammer responds with a standard template email (I believe AI generated) Potential victim (again - me) responds to schedule a call Scammer sends a scam number - I was sent 01515 289323 (At least I believe its a SCAM, maybe I have just missed out speaking with the perfect candidate for my client) #hr #recruitment

As a new week begins and the mass of unemployed wokers start their job applications, I am sharing the article I wrote for Teal on “How To Read A Job Description”. In this competitive market, I recommend you concentrate on jobs you are a HIGH match for. https://lnkd.in/gM3idp-X
