The Elite Recruiter Podcast

Jan Tegze the author of Full Stack Recruiter and the new book Job Search Guide be your own career coach, appeared as a guest on The Elite Recruiter podcast. Jan shared his insights on the challenges faced by recruiters in the current job market and how to succeed. Jan revealed that he stumbled upon the recruiting industry by accident but quickly found that he enjoyed helping people find new jobs and advising them on their job search. He discussed his latest book, The Job Search Guide, which provides job seekers with tips and tricks to improve their chances of landing their dream job. He also discussed his newsletter for job seekers and recruiters, which aims to dispel recruitment myths. The conversation delved into the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the job market and how recruiters can navigate a tough market. Jan emphasized his plans for publishing more books for recruiters, including a book on diversity recruitment strategies. He expressed his frustration with career coaches who scam job seekers by selling false promises. The speakers discussed the importance of recruiters creating quality content to stand out and build their network. They criticized the industry practice of preying on job seekers with scams like ATS-proof resume templates. Yon debunked the myth of ATS systems being effective, stating that companies only use them for storing candidates due to the high cost of customization. The speakers suggested that recruiters can stand out by creating helpful content for job seekers and focusing on providing quality rather than chasing likes. The conversation highlighted the importance of recruiters being active on LinkedIn and building their network. They emphasized the value of creating quality content that helps job seekers and being recognized as an expert in the field. The speakers noted that networking is about what you give and get, and accepting connection invites can give others access to your network. They also touched on the trend of recruiters sharing photos with quotes on LinkedIn to generate likes. The conversation continued with a discussion on the misuse and over-reliance on AI tools such as Chat GPT and Boolean search strings. Jan argued that while these tools can be useful, they should be used alongside human skills and experience. He warned against overusing these tools, which may lead to a decrease in response rates and ultimately, a lack of trust in recruiters and their agencies. Jan advised against this approach, as it can be intrusive and does not give candidates an advantage. The conversation also addressed the claim that 75% of resumes are not read, which Yon deemed as nonsense. He cautioned against blindly trusting influencers and urged candidates to interact with recruiters on LinkedIn to build relationships and gain a better understanding of the company and role. Overall, Jan's insights on the recruitment industry and job search strategies provide valuable knowledge for both job seekers and recruiters. His emphasis on ethical recruitment practices and building relationships with hiring managers is a refreshing approach in a time when the recruitment industry is often criticized for being impersonal and profit-driven.

James Blackwell, Director of the Agency Blueprint and managing director of Ronald James Group, was interviewed by Benjamin on the Elite Recruiter podcast. Blackwell discussed his journey in the recruitment industry, starting as a car salesman before falling into recruitment and eventually starting his own agency in 2015. He spoke about the common issue of recruiters setting up their own agency and becoming highly paid employees for their own business instead of growing and scaling. To hit the seven-figure mark in a recruitment business, Blackwell advised building a client attraction system through a Dream 100 campaign for repeat business and winning clients exclusively retained by creating a unique methodology and signature sales pitch deck. However, to scale beyond $100-250k, it is important to learn how to be a business owner and not just a recruiter. Blackwell emphasized that a highly employed solopreneur is not a business owner. During the conversation, Blackwell discussed strategies for small and solo recruitment agencies to thrive in a recession by being leaner and more agile than larger agencies. In addition to sending automated email or LinkedIn campaigns, agencies should consider going the extra mile to differentiate themselves, such as building a marketing agency to help boost a client's brand and attract better talent or offering a free workshop to potential clients. Regarding starting one's own recruitment agency, Blackwell advised on the importance of having a mentor and a plan to map out the niche market and win clients, and not to worry about the website initially. He also suggested not taking investors and focusing on building a proper business by getting some money coming in and then building client acquisition system and operations. Blackwell emphasized the importance of investing in oneself and not taking 50-50 partnerships or giving away billings every month to companies that invest in recruitment agency startups. Blackwell recommended the book "How to Get Rich" by Felix Dennis for its practical advice on building a successful business with systems and "Built to Sell" by John Wobbleau Talk for its principles on building a business that is not reliant on the owner. He also shared his favorite quote, "If you think you can, then you can, and if you think you can't, you can't." Throughout the conversation, Blackwell emphasized the importance of building relationships and honing persuasion skills as a recruiter. He recommended the book "Search and Placement" by Steve Finkel as a valuable resource for new recruiters. For experienced recruiters, he suggested considering going out on their own to build their own business empire or partnering with their current agency to add value and progress within the company. He also advised against seeking investors for a recruitment agency startup, as this often results in giving away a large portion of billings without receiving adequate support or systems to build the business. He emphasized the importance of investing in oneself and finding a mentor for guidance and support.

In a recent Elite Recruiter podcast episode, host Benjamin Mena interviewed Katrina Collier, author of The Robot-Proof Recruiter, about the changing recruitment market and the importance of staying relevant in the age of AI. Katrina Collier shared her background in recruitment, starting as a trainee recruitment consultant after moving to London from Australia. She also discussed the lack of education around the recruitment profession and the importance of improving candidate experience and recruitment practices.  The conversation centered around Collier's book, The Robot-Proof Recruiter, which argues that recruiters cannot be replaced by technology. The book aims to help recruiters understand the challenges of recruitment in a digital age and how to stand out in a crowded market. Collier emphasized the importance of treating candidates with compassion and kindness, pushing back on hiring managers when necessary, and doing proper intakes to ensure a better human experience. The book has received contributions from 85 people worldwide, making it a comprehensive manual that recruiters need to read. Collier donated her royalties from the book to a charity that aims to end modern-day slavery.  The conversation also touched on the impact of the pandemic on recruitment and the need for more education about the profession. The speakers discussed the impact of overhiring in the recruitment industry and how it affects people's lives. They talked about how companies knee-jerk react to economic changes by firing TA teams, the lack of awareness among recruiters about the slowing of hiring, and the responsibility of the C Suite in signing off on requisitions. They also discussed the impact of irresponsible hiring on people's lives, emphasizing the need for recruiters to remember the compassion and empathy that they lost during the pandemic.  The conversation then turned to the impact of AI on recruiters. Collier expressed skepticism, stating that AI will only create more noise and spam unless the person using the tool is creative and curious enough to personalize messages. They also gave an example of a highly personalized message from 2015 that went viral on Twitter but did not elicit a response from the recipient. The speakers also touched upon the issue of overhiring by companies and the need for the C-Suite to be held accountable for the impact on people's lives. However, they remained optimistic that the job market will eventually level out.  The speakers provided advice for recruiters, emphasizing the importance of being more creative and trying different methods to get in touch with hiring managers. They emphasized the need for a proper job intake process, as it is the most overlooked part of the hiring process. Recruiters were encouraged to spend time upfront with hiring managers to understand their needs and not to accept outdated job descriptions. The conversation also highlighted the need to look forward and understand what the company really needs, and the importance of getting hiring managers to invest time upfront to save time and money in the long run. The conversation ended with the advice to drop attitudes and partner with hiring managers to fill roles.  Katrina Collier LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katrinacollier/ Robot Proof Recruiter Book: https://amzn.to/41qGvUy Katrina Collier Website: https://katrinacollier.com/ With your Host Benjamin Mena with Select Source Solutions: http://www.selectsourcesolutions.com/ Benjamin Mena LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjaminmena/ Benjamin Mena Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/benlmena/ Benjamin Mena TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@benjaminlmena Benjamin Mena Twitter: https://twitter.com/benjamin_l_mena The Elite Recruiter Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theeliterecruiter/
