Creative agencies are facing staffing issues right now. They've done their best to hold on to top talent amidst industry challenges. Many elite shops have had to take on lower-quality work just to keep the doors open. Now, with business picking up, skeleton crews are stretched thin, employees are overworked, and the projects are often less interesting. Some team members are clocking in 60+ hour weeks, and overtime is only approved by clients. Your A-players are starting to look elsewhere, and they’re reaching out to me! But we have a solution. We can help you build a bench with the top freelancers available. They're pre-vetted, with their hold schedules and rates. Plus, we provide reports from previous clients to ensure no surprises. It might cost a bit now, but it will pay off in the long run. Remember, the industry is cyclical, and it will bounce back. Don't lose your top talent now when you'll need them tomorrow. #CreativeAgencies #StaffingSolutions #Freelancers #TopTalent #IndustryChallenges #WorkLifeBalance #FuturePlanning

Here is a list of the key reasons I’ve heard from agencies over the last 8 years that I actually agree with as to why measuring the candidate experience isn’t a priority for them right now. There isnt one! Not a single one. Candidates deserve the best service you can give and if you aren’t measuring it you can’t improve it. No one is perfect but we can all improve.

We’re hiring SDRs. If you’re a recruiter looking for a change, this might be for you. You’ll be sparking curiosity and starting conversations with recruitment and staffing businesses across the UK and US. Not with templates and scripts (okay, maybe some), but with authenticity, curiosity, and a bit of courage. How? Any way that works: ➽ Phone ➽ Video ➽  Voice Note ➽  Email ➽  Smoke Signals You’ll report to Ollie Bates - legend in the SDR game. Sometimes he “hits target”, often he’s obliterating it. He’ll be your mentor, coach, and occasional co-conspirator. You’ll also be kitted out with borderline ridiculous tech enablement. So, no fluff, no wasting time - just tools to help you focus on smashing it. OTE is 57.5k What You’ll Bring: ➽  A recruiter’s edge: You know how agencies work, how recruiters think ➽  A relentless drive: You don’t stop at “good enough.” ➽  Natural gravitas:   When you talk, people generally listen. ➽  Insatiable curiosity: You ask better questions because you genuinely care about the answers. This isn’t for everyone. If you want easy, predictable or boring, this isn’t it. But if you’re ready to take what you already know and apply it in a way that excites you, we’d love to hear from you. Recruiters who’ve made the leap into this role rarely look back. Will you be one of them? Find me. Apply. Let’s talk. Ps. If it’s not for you please give the post a like to share far and wide. Cheers!

🌟 Celebrating 5 months of running my own tech recruitment business! 🌟 This GIF is to past me... After 8 years in agency recruitment, I made the decision to bet on myself—and it’s been one of the best (and toughest!) decisions I've made. From navigating new challenges to signing new clients, freelancing with my former agency, I have managed to make a few placements (wooo), it’s been a whirlwind. But I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished so far. 💪 Business development doesn’t come naturally to me, but I’m thrilled that companies have been open to working with someone new. It’s a reminder that hard work, building relationships, and showing up with a genuine approach can make all the difference. 🙌 To anyone out there on their own entrepreneurial journey—keep pushing, the wins are worth it! Here’s to many more months (and years!) of growth, learning, and success. 🚀 Denu Recruit - follow for more roles and to track the growth!! #EntrepreneurLife #TechRecruitment #ProudMoment #KeepGoing

This time of year can be a tricky one... Summer is pretty much here and holiday season has begun, especially in Europe. However IBC is sneaking up on us and with budgets set - hiring needs have become pressing for many. The thing is throughout June, July and August recruitment process can slow down as people are in and out. To get ahead of this, it's worth considering: ☀️ Is everything signed off? Budget agreed? We don't want to loose time later. ☀️ When can interviews happen? Can interview rounds be scheduled in key stakeholders diaries sooner rather than later to avoid delays? ☀️ Keep candidates up to date. Most people don't mind waiting, but being out of the loop is far from ideal. ☀️Remember candidates have holidays too - plus they could also be juggling school holiday timetables. ☀️ If you want somebody in place for September you need to start the process now. #neuco #hiring #summerrecruitment
