Recruiters need more time, engaged candidates, and a stronger sales pipeline.
Recruitment Leaders need that too, plus, trained and engaged recruiters, tech ROI, best practice, profit, and stability.
I recently spoke at the Recruitment Agency Expo London on the topic 'Automation - How to Improve Recruiter Performance" and I wanted to share my talk and takeaways.
Improving Recruiter Performance With Automation
Now more than ever improving recruiter productivity and performance is critical. But with potentially too much recruitment technology and data, and not enough process and best practice, productivity is hard to deliver, measure, and manage. Performance is hard to improve. And in the middle of all this, economic and environmental factors are creating so much distraction.
But if you could automate what you can, and train what's left (the good stuff!), then your recruitment data, your database, and your 3Cs (candidates, clients, colleagues) will be in a really good place, perhaps even 1st place.
At RecExpo London I talked about:
The barriers to great recruiter performance.
How to make marginal gains and what Kaizen has to say about being "lean" (and mean!) and what recruitment leaders can use from this model.
How can you de-administrate and re-humanise your recruitment business with recruitment automation, so you can improve recruiter performance?
Where can recruitment automation have the most impact? Clean data, candidate sourcing, screening, candidate and client management and experience, sales?
What tips do I share for how recruitment automation can add pain and stress relief.
Why recruitment automation is great for startups, as well as "big fish" recruiters.
How do you get started with recruitment automation?

That’s the equivalent of Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday being almost totally unproductive. Automation takes away the repetitive admin so recruiters can spend more time on revenue-generating BD.🌱 Leads nurtured via CRM systems make 47% larger purchases. Nurturing is where automation shines.

How to Remove People from Your LinkedIn Company Page
Recruitment leaders and marketers!I bet you have people on your LinkedIn Company Page who do not actually work for you. Maybe they did, but left. Maybe they never did! Here's how you remove someone from your LinkedIn company page.Removing Randoms from Your Company LinkedIn PageAs a recruiter, you’ll know that the lovely staff number you see at the top of the Company page on LinkedIn may not a true reflection of who actually works there. You’ll go to that space and attempt to source from it. You use it to help you head hunt talent and find new clients. If you’re a recruitment leader you’ll use it to source talent for your own businesses.If you’re a recruitment marketer or recruitment leader you’ll get pretty fed up of the fact that you can’t control who appears on your company page.You can’t stop anyone from adding themselves.And you can’t nip into a leavers’ profile and redact your company. We all know that someone’s LinkedIn profile is theirs and not even LinkedIn have the right to edit it.There is hope! You can actually get these "random" people who don't work for you removed. It takes a little time and effort, but it’s worth it.I get that this depends upon the size of your business. If you employ thousands of people across the globe, keeping track of your company employees on LinkedIn is a big ask. I’d at least suggest you have a more robust starters and leavers process – and ensure that someone (anyone!) has responsibility for this task. I often go into businesses (either staffing companies or business with in-house recruitment teams) who have no idea who this job would sit with, and the page is out of control.If you come across someone who doesn’t work in your business, you can begin the “removal of randoms” process by clicking this "Removing People from a LinkedIn Page" link.Have a Process for your LinkedIn Company PageThere’s nothing stopping you from having a monthly process for checking your company page and looking for those randoms. Be sure to spend a little time on this. Random staff can make your business look random. They can make your business look bloated with fakers, have sector specialisms which are not appropriate, and overall have a negative impact on your ability to be taken seriously and trade.Plus, via our Recruitment HIIT training platform, we deliver LinkedIn for Recruiter training for time-starved recruiters, who think they have a handle on LinkedIn, but want to improve their profile, increase their relevant application response and place more jobs.
