F**k Corona! Time to Get Fit, Recruiters!

Prior to today, 60% of recruiters found it hard to deliver results day in and day out. Who knows what the figure is now? We are all on one almighty pit stop! BUT the race is still on - you've not been retired!The recruiters that we work with are shell shocked - there is no book on the current situation. Every day is a new day, with data and news to either make you smile or frown. For those of us who have been through a recession, it's flipping tough - BUT there will be an end to it, and you will be defined by how quick you get out of your pit stop, and get back on the track! This blog is perfect for recruiters who need to focus during this distracting time, and to up the ante and get back in gear!Corona will be smashed! Where will you be when it is?Five Ways to Be Your Best Recruiter Self! I’ll give you 5 tips that will boost your mood, your results, and (ideally) your pay packet! Be Recruitment Fit - A survey of 2,500 companies found that those with “comprehensive training programs” have 218% higher revenue per employee and 24% higher profit margins. So, set dedicated time aside every week to improve your skill, whether you’re new to recruitment, or been in the game a little longer. Ongoing learning will really set you apart from your competitors. This is the time to really “gen up”! Don’t waste it. And don’t wait for your manager to tell you to train yourself. Take control! Know Your Market: 61% of sales prospects said they would be more responsive if they were provided with relevant information. So, you need to know what’s going on in the market. What are you doing to keep abreast of current affairs in your clients market? Do you know what’s happening globally, nationally, or even in their local town that may be effecting their ability to grow business? Yes, the obvious news is the big C word, but there is more than this going on – aim for What’s Your Plan? As the old adage goes, failing to plan equates to planning to fail! This is where too many recruiters go wrong. They land a great job to fill and hit the phones straight away, with very little direction. allocate time to think about options - where might your candidate be now? where might this go wrong - what might I struggle to find - plan for this! Be Consultative Not Sales Driven: 51% of sales leaders focus on increasing customer retention through deeper relationships. Sales are important, but your clients and candidates want to know that you understand their needs. This is SO important right now. Learn what they need. What are their current pain points? What are the key skills that they are struggling to recruit for? Now that recruitment may be on hold (or the total opposite) what can you offer in terms of advice. What are your candidates' motivations? What ignites a fire in their belly about their current role? Find out what their plans are beyond Corona! Actively Recruit At All Times. Just because you don’t have a role to fill right now or you’ve already got your short list together, it doesn’t mean you can sit back and relax! Absolutely not! Recruiters spend, on average, nearly 1/3 of their work week (about 13 hours) sourcing candidates for a single role. Great Recruiters are always recruiting. Make sure you regularly use your CRM to source great candidates which can be built into a search / shortlist ready to go when you win new business. Again, Corona has created a pit stop - use this time to train and network like you mean it! Get cracking with your best practice. Be the recruiter you've likely always wanted to be, but ironically candidates and clients have got in the way! :-)HIIT Us, Recruiters!Our high intensity interval training - Recruitment HIIT - helps recruiters source, convert quicker, and develop healthy pipelines, and recruitment marketers attract, engage, and retain candidates, generate leads, and colleagues (3Cs).TRY RECRUITMENT HIITREAD ABOUT OUR RECRUITMENT TRAININGBOOK A CALL TO DISCUSS RECRUITMENT TRAININGPS.

Bullhorn Buys Adapt – What Does this Mean for You?

Recruiters, I assume you’re keen to be smarter and bill more this year. You could be 29% more profitable when you use a CRM. Plus 34% more productive! But just as you’re focusing on Brexit getting “done”, and impeachments, 2 things happen to cause a major disruption in The Force!Star Wars 9 wasn’t as good as it could have been Bullhorn Buys Adapt!Bullhorn Buys Adapt… What Happens Now?Actually, not much changes – read Bullhorn’s FAQs on their website:We are committed to supporting Bond customers and ensuring that they are successful moving forward. While we have no plans to accelerate development of new features as part of Bond, we will maintain support for the existing product for the indefinite future. So, Adapt isn’t being “sunsetted” (retired), and Bullhorn will continue to have developers maintaining the product. But, really, what many of our Adapt clients tell me is what they have today works for them. The issue they have is their recruiters’ usage of Adapt, rather than the Adapt CRM itself – and that’s what needs fixing in 2020!I’ve checked in with my team of Adapt trainers (the best Adapt trainers in the business!) and listed below are our 5 reasons to get your Recruiters trained to use Adapt better. Training your recruiters to use Adapt to source, attract, convert, and place candidates and clients is a key goal. You never know, this may also help you retain your recruiters too?Note: if you’re migrating to Bullhorn, keep watching – the tips below are just as useful. We train recruiters to use Bullhorn too!1. Are You Suffering from the 72% Placement Issue?72% of the placements made last year were with candidates you already had (before you spent at least 13 hours sourcing them from LinkedIn and job boards.)So – training your recruiters to clean up (some of their) data and working it is the crux of all of the things you need to do this year.In fact, Bullhorn’s research on what you want to improve tells me that 55% of you see speedier sourcing as your key goal. 2. Recruiters are Distracted 36 x An Hour… No Time for Calls! Recruiters are checking their emails 36 x an hour, and mobiles phone 45 x a day…What a waste of time! Time is needed make calls and interview candidates / convert clients.Again – how have your teams been trained to use Adapt to run their desk?Every client we work with wants their recruiters to make more viable calls… How are you using Adapt to generate warm call lists and turn those candidates and clients into invoices?80% of you want to be more organised, using technology! Adapt’s Planner is a fabulous tool to create order out of potential chaos.3. Your Attrition Is Affected by ChangeThe recruitment industry suffers a whopping 43% attrition rate – and this is often down to a lack of training on core systems. For example, the CIPD note that 2/3 of leavers claim a lack of training is their main reason for quitting. Ask yourself:What training are you delivering this year to KEEP your staff? How are you planning on making them more productive and effective recruiters?It is likely that you have the three things you need…PeopleDataSystemBUT the purpose and process are missing.Did you know that continuous training can increase sales by 50%? More training = more sales!4. How Much Money Are You Spending NOT Using Adapt? Perhaps £140,000?We recently “traffic lighted” a client’s recruitment workflow. What were they doing well (green)?What needed a little retraining (amber)?What parts of the recruitment workflow were they not delivering through Adapt, or not delivering at all (red)?The outcome? We found that a team of 40 recruiters were “drowning” in data and systems and were spending in excess of £140,000 using systems other than Adapt.Plus, dirty data, unhappy recruiters, useless MI, and no doubt lots of missed sales opportunities. (Hence no budget for training!)Processes and ROI skewed by “too many systems not enough process”. (It doesn’t cost £140k to train your teams to use Adapt!)5. 60% of Candidates Have a Poor Experience… But What About Recruiters?There is so much online about the poor candidate experience, and APSCo tells us that most of you want to fix this issue - but what about the recruiter experience? 2/3 of recruiters who quit last year stated "you didn't train me" - what a terrible waste of time and resource, when it takes approx 6-12 months to get a recruiter to decent billing levels. (It costs approx £10,000 to replace a recruiter!)What’s your plan this year to improve your teams’ experience of recruitment and sales? Surely their happiness directly affects that of your candidates (and clients)? And you'll save £100,000s!Adapt CRM: “It’s What You Do With It That Counts!”We’ve spent the last 20 years working with Bond / Erecruit / Bullhorn – we’re pretty good at Adapt and Bullhorn adoption and recruitment training. In fact, we’re one of the few teams who know the difference between the two.Recruitment is a tough market, made up of busy recruiters and sales people. If you’ve not got the time, mindset, or budget to move from Adapt this year think:“It’s what you do with it that counts!” HIIT Us, Recruiters!Our high intensity interval training - Recruitment HIIT - helps recruiters source, convert quicker, and develop healthy pipelines, and recruitment marketers attract, engage, and retain candidates, generate leads, and colleagues (3Cs).TRY RECRUITMENT HIIT FREEREAD ABOUT OUR Recruitment TRAININGBOOK A CALL TO DISCUSS Recruitment TRAINING

How to Monetise Your Recruitment CRM

Recruiters and recruitment marketers! This is a crucial read if you want to drive this year with a sales-led marketing strategy and “let’s make some money from our recruitment CRM and Recruitment data” plan. Stats tell us that you can improve productivity by 29% if you use your CRM effectively.How Can You Make Money from Your Recruitment CRM? Do you want to make money from your recruitment database (eg. Bullhorn / Adapt), or just spend money on it?Do you want your marketers to generate leads, or just pretty pictures and mugs? Do you want to ensure that your sales team are effective online, and not just on LinkedIn and job boards all day and still only place a small % of their jobs?With the advent of Bullhorn buying Adapt, and Access Group buying Microdec and Volcanic recently, Brexit, and everything else in the recruitment tech and data space, you can be forgiven for wanting to scream… can I just get on with flipping selling and recruiting? These are all best in class recruitment systems, and when used well can really drive profit, if you have a strategy for that to happen!Recruitment Tech – Data in, Invoices Out?But irrespective of which system you have they all have one thing in common – what you put into them and what you get out of them. I’ve been talking to my clients about data, tech and marketing, with the sole aim of trying to help them make sense of something that has been evading them for some time – they have the same questions:How do I get my recruiters to improve their placement rates?How do I get my recruiters to make more phone calls?How do I get my recruiters to source and place, without spending all day on LinkedIn?How do I get my marketers and recruiters working more collaboratively? And get marketing to deliver leads?How do I get candidates to actually come to my website? And how can I get my website to make me money?How do I improve the value of my recruitment business?For me, it’s simple. It’s about 3 things: Data, Systems, PeopleAre People Really Your Most Important Asset?We are often told that our most important asset is our people… but I beg to differ…These days, I’d suggest that data is critical, systems are crucial – and process is the glue that joins the three crucial assets together. People make the systems work, systems drive the process.Hence, people, process AND data are your most important assets.I realise that whilst recruiters and their leaders are great at rolling up their sleeves and mucking in to hit target, recruitment systems and data still appear to be failing to deliver profitable processes. But are systems and data really the issue? Or are the people to blame?Are Your Recruiters the Problem Between the Keyboard and Chair (PIBKAC)?With 2/3 of the UK leavers last year quitting their jobs due to a lack of training, does the recruitment industry suffer the same fate? Does it have a lack of trained recruiters? What is the impact of this? Lost fees, bad reputation, candidates and client-disloyalty? (Currently the average 10-person recruiter blows £10k when someone leaves (contact me to see why).Or, is your recruitment data still holding you back, even though, with GDPR, you thought you’d shed some significant “weight”?Is your recruitment software driving recruitment process, or just driving your recruiters insane and they yell “it’s admin”?Recruitment Process is Key for this Year and BeyondWith the data you have, the systems you use, and the people you employ, you need something that binds them all together. PROCESS!This is why I have come up with the model below. I call it my “dig up stupid” model. This came to me watching the Simpsons “Homer the Vigilante” episode. Admit it – as a recruiter you have “enough” data?But do you have a process for capitalising on it, or simply searching it? Have you divided into 2 of your most important segments (level 2 and 3)? These are the people you have sold to and placed, and those you have met / engaged with but did not convert. What training are you given for effectively using your data and Recruitment CRM?What recruitment systems and processes do you have for your recruiters and marketers to actively convert / retain this data? Or are you fixated on finding new data, and / or getting distracted with data that you genuinely don’t need?Recruitment Data + People + Process = FeesThink about the cash you may be blowing by not training your recruiters to use your systems. And note, that 2/3 of job leavers last year quit through a lack of training. Ask yourselves what you plan to do this year, with GDPR (and Brexit...) out of the way, how are you going to really monetise your recruitment technology?Systems are one thing, getting your recruiters to use them… that’s the key. That's why my team and I have created recruitment HIIT - the only OnDemand Recruitment Training Platform to have both Adapt and Bullhorn (and soon other recruitment software, recruitment best practice, LinkedIn, Job Adverts, Inbound Sales, Recruitment Marketing, and so on...)HIIT Us, Recruiters!Our high intensity interval training - Recruitment HIIT - helps recruiters source, convert quicker, and develop healthy pipelines, and recruitment marketers attract, engage, and retain candidates, generate leads, and colleagues (3Cs).TRY RECRUITMENT HIIT FOR FREEREAD ABOUT OUR RECRUITMENT TRAININGBOOK A CALL TO DISCUSS RECRUITMENT TRAINING

A 9-Minute Adapt HIIT to Make You a More Efficient Recruiter

Recruiters, we know you’re busy! We know you’ve got calls to make, candidates to place and sales targets to hit. But you struggle to find the time. You need some speedy tips to use Adapt super-quick to help you generate faster placements. Recruiters! HIIT Adapt!We love HIIT (high intensity interval training) and use this in our Adapt Training (and LinkedIn, Job Adverts, Inbound Sales, and Recruitment Marketing Training). HIIT isn't just for Joe Wicks fans and gym-bunnies, when used in recruitment training, it can help create focus and make sure that your learning sticks!Adapt has a ton of great features that can make life as a recruiter much easier. Here are my nine simple 1-minute hacks to help organise your time, improve productivity, cultivate relationships and generate key leads and job opportunities:Start with a Studio – Whatever your focus for the day, ‘My Studios’ is a great place to start.

Simply click into ‘My Studios’ from the My Adapt menu, choose your studio, and in less than a minute you know what you need to do to achieve those targets. Preview Your Priorities – We know as recruiters you are busy. You have candidates to call, clients to visit and jobs to fill. So you need to be able to manage your time and your to-do list effectively. A great way to achieve this in Adapt is with the notification icons at the top of your Adapt CRM screen. Use the calendar icon to ensure you never forget a client visit or internal candidate interview. Or focus on the task icon to manage your call-backs, CV chases, and interview feedback. Let this one-minute hack drive your priorities and help you take control of your pipeline.Build a Boss Studio – Adapt is well-known for its awesome, prebuilt studios but we know that Recruiters like you want the freedom to do things their own way.

If only you didn’t have to spend so much time building your search each time... Spoiler Alert! You don’t have to! Once you have your winning formula, simply save your search to access and rerun it whenever you want… But wait… there’s more! Make that search Active and it will automatically run at a time and interval that suits you. That’s two hacks for the price of one, and all competed in a blink of an eye. Keep Your KPIs Close – Consistently hitting your targets and KPIs is a must for all great Recruiters. But how do you know if you’re on the right track? How can you monitor your progress, and plan your next point of attack if you don’t know how much is left to achieve? Well worry not, Adapt has the answer! Click into the KPIs tab in your My Adapt menu, set the consultant filter to yourself and change the period to suit your business goals. And there you have it, a visual representation of how close you are to your targets!Tackle a Task – As Mark Twain famously said, “If it’s your job to eat a frog, its best to do it first thing in the morning and if it’s your job to eat two, eat the biggest one first…” We’re all guilty of procrastination, which is what Mr. Twain was alluding to here. By using the filter option in your Task menu, you can be sure that you’re tackling the most important first. So, Recruiters - set your filters and eat your frogs!Get Cosy with a Contact - Maybe it’s been a while since you touched base with one of your top candidates. It’s all gone a bit quiet and you’re worried a competitor might be closing in. Never fear, Adapt Studios are here! My Clients and Contacts dashboard helps you to keep track of all the clients and contacts that might need your attention. Give the ‘last contacted’ column a couple of clicks and, quick as a flash, you have a call list of contacts that may be in danger of cooling down.Sure-Fire Shortlists – Every recruiter knows that a great candidate pool is essential for hitting targets and filling jobs. However, building that candidate pool can be time-consuming, and is often a game of numbers, with the ratio of shortlists to placements being high. This super quick hack will save you stacks of time by heading into searches again and selecting one of the three (yes three!!!) shortlist search options – fill in the relevant criteria and watch the candidate names role in. You’ve spent less than 60 seconds running that search which has resulted in a high-quality shortlist. Bag Some BD – As a recruiter, you’re never far away from that next big lead. You pick them up all the time, off the back of phone calls, as a result as of a catch-up coffee with a client, or just scrolling through LinkedIn. Adding a Lead can be done with just a couple of clicks and only takes a minute. So, my big tip is to do it now and save time later!And if, recruiters, you need to blitz your business development even further, why not check out the latest in our Adapt Smackdown series?Read more about how we work with recruitment leaders to generate ROI from recruitment software with our recruiter success training courses.HIIT Us, Recruiters!Our high intensity interval training - Recruitment HIIT - helps recruiters source, convert quicker, and develop healthy pipelines, and recruitment marketers attract, engage, and retain candidates, generate leads, and colleagues (3Cs).TRY RECRUITMENT HIITREAD ABOUT OUR ADAPT TRAININGBOOK A CALL TO DISCUSS ADAPT TRAINING
