Burnout. Why do recruiters resign?

What causes ‘burnout‘ and why do so many people fail in recruitment? And why do so many promising recruiters, seemingly on a positive trajectory, give up and move on? Understanding this and acting on it is a fundamental competency for any recruitment leader, and, in my experience, it separates the great recruitment businesses from the […]

12 crucial recruiter tactics for 2023

  2023 is going to be a rocky road for most recruiters. There will still be outstanding opportunities, and some markets will fare better than others. However, recruiters must focus on different priorities to thrive in the next 12 months and set themselves up for the subsequent boom. (Which is inevitable because there is a […]

Celebrate a lack of candidates

Candidate Shortages! Do not complain about them ever again. Please. A shortage of quality candidates is a good thing! As I told the lads on the “Confessions of a Recruiter” Podcast. A tight talent market means clients need us like never before. If they could find candidates easily, they would not come to recruiters, would […]

You are 3 messages away from disaster

This is for every single person in agency recruitment. Plenty of individuals and companies have had an excellent year, and well done to them. It’s been hard work. However, outstanding market conditions have covered some cracks and glossed over some flaws in your business makeup, or in how you recruit. I see vulnerabilities everywhere I […]

Everyone is so focused on recruiting talent today. The conversation is about skills shortages and hiring tactics. Unfortunately, this is as true of recruitment companies themselves as it is of employers generally. But the truth is that focusing on recruitment as your number one priority is an error.

There are two types of recruiters.

There are only two types of recruiters. You are one – or the other. And the group you are in decides your recruiting future. Firstly, there are ‘honest recruiters’. Honest about their ability.

The best recruitment party ever?

I have been to hundreds of recruitment parties. You have been to quite a few, too, I imagine. Record months to be celebrated. Awards nights. End of years knees-ups. But this one was special. After a Covid-induced hiatus, the People2People STRIDE awards were back! 100 staff from the eight offices across New Zealand and Australia […]

Beat your fears with this

The phrase ‘Ten seconds of courage’ is not my own. I heard my brother say it in a speech, and he later confessed to having lifted it from an elite Australian athlete. No matter. It is the concept that’s important here. It sounds strange to evoke the word ‘courage’ to describe what is essentially a […]
