The Savage UK Recruitment Director Masterclass

It gives you a unique ‘action plan’ for growth in disrupted times. And you will leave it with a prioritised ‘Growth […]

Into Africa. A recruiting safari.

Today is the last day of the ‘relaxing’ part of my trip to South Africa, and I write to you from the magnificent Delaire Graff estate just outside Stellenbosch, in the Cape Wine lands. But tomorrow it’s D-day. Day one of the Savage Truth Tour of South Africa, kicking off in Cape Town with a 3-hour seminar.

The Savage Truth gets even more Savage!

For several decades I have owned and run recruitment companies in Australia and elsewhere. In January this year I made a massive change to that situation. At the end of 2012 I sold my entire interest in Firebrand Talent Search, the global marketing and digital recruitment company that I founded with a like-minded group of […]

Look for clients in pain!

Every great recruiter knows how to triage their job orders, and understands the importance of prioritising. By and large, we only get paid for the people we place, so we have to work exclusively on committed clients and committed candidates. One thing I am fond of telling the recruiters everywhere, is that a client in […]

6 strategies to improve your client meetings – while you are in reception!

Success in recruiting is all about doing a lot of small things… very well. Pretty much all recruiters follow the same process.

So, experience has taught me that getting the best outcome depends […]

It’s not ‘cultural’. If you are a jerk, you are just a jerk

Recently I was asked by one of our Sydney recruiters to join her on a client visit to a high profile Ad Agency group. I jumped at the chance because I love speaking with clients, and we were booked to meet two very senior people, both at Executive Creative Director level. We arrived on time […]

Discrimination in recruitment. Not only good – essential!

Last week I blogged on the importance of “job order triage”. Great recruiters ruthlessly prioritise the briefs they work on, and put most effort into the highly fillable few. Well, what about the candidates to invest time in? Some recruiters take the view that as there is a talent shortage, every candidate needs equal help […]

Real leaders give people what they need. Not what they want

This post is for anyone who manages people, or who hopes to in the future. It will probably draw some flak too, but that’s because I don’t really believe in generational differences. I think it has been largely hyped and exaggerated. I have had plenty of employees who fit into the so-called ‘Gen Y’ age […]
