This is a colossal face-off!

🇬🇧 v 🇦🇺

No, I am not suggesting an international recruiting football or cricket World Cup.

(Mind you, how cool would that be?)

Nor am I trying to compare the recruiting skills of Australian and UK recruiters.

No, this is a significant competition to see how many recruiters each country will send to the new series of Savage ‘Recruit’ masterclasses.

Here are the rules;

• Each country will have six Masterclasses in cities spread across the country.
• Australia has had Sydney, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Melbourne, and Brisbane.
• The UK starts in three weeks and will be in London, Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow and Belfast.

Now, critically, what is the current score?

Australia 🇦🇺 had 875 attendees to their six masterclasses

With a few weeks to go, the UK 🇬🇧 has 455 attendees signed up for their six. ( as of last Friday)

This is closer than it looks because there is always a rush of signups towards the end. (Recruiters do not like to ‘commit’ 😊)

So, who will take the ‘Savage Recruiter Cup’? UK or Australia?

Now, you would not sign up to help win some made-up competition. Quite right, too.

But there are fabulous reasons to join us in the UK Masterclass series.

I am grateful to the REC and JobAdder, who are supporting the ‘Recruit’ book launch across the UK.

This presentation will summarise the critical skills, tactics, and attitudes required to be an outstanding agency recruiter.

Every attendee will also get a copy of the book at the event.

I hope my presentation will be illuminating and entertaining as I draw from the book and anecdotes from my (long, long) recruiting life.

Check out this video grab from the Australian series, and then read on for more.
