This week’s episode is a collaboration between RAG Podcast and Recruitment Mentors Podcast!Hishem and I host two of the most well-known, highly-regarded podcasts in our sector. We started them at roughly the same time, and we even used to record them in the same Hoxo HQ studio! After sitting down together at the recent recruitment expo, we realised that we’ve released well over 500 recruitment episodes and interviewed/met 1000+ over this periodWe thought it would be interesting to come together to discuss the five traits that we see in the most successful recruitment founders. You'll find that Hishem and I do agree on most areas, but we have slightly different views in certain areas too.Hope you enjoy this special episode and do take notes!!00:00 Introduction09:03 Chapter 1: Creating a Business that Works for You16:11 Chapter 2: The Power of Niche and Brand33:30 Chapter 4: Building a Sales Culture44:30 Getting Out of Your Own Way56:44 Prioritising Personal Health and Well-being__________________________________________Episode sponsor: UntappedSafe to say, last year was tricky for the recruitment sector globally. Many have had to operate through uncertain times, making tough calls and streamlining where possible.However, accessing lower-cost resources internationally has proven to be the 2023 cheat code for business performance. But anyone who has tried it knows it’s not easy to get right. That’s where Untapped comes in. Untapped is one of the hottest companies in the market right now, helping agencies in the UK, US, Middle East and Australia transition to the new world, leverage elite remote individuals and even build whole offshore sourcing and recruiting teams. They source from the most exciting talent pools on the planet for recruitment staff and embed elite talent into your company to improve diversity, productivity and the cost of your teams. Your UK team will also love the help with some of the repetitive, time-consuming work that lands on their desk, improving their job satisfaction. They put around 3000 candidates per month through an intense 4-stage interview and online testing process to find the top 1% and secure these people roles in UK agencies doing research, marketing, finance, sourcing, end-to-end recruiting, coordination and account management. All candidates are benchmarked against UK competency frameworks and are tested for the highest level of communication and language skills. It’s a simple process: You pay a deposit to kick off the search, they provide a candidates shortlist in 14 days. You can also put people through your own process and then hire perm or on a freelance basis, depending on your needs. They are totally transparent with salaries. Typically, your global talent will earn 30% more than their local benchmark, giving you high levels of motivation and work ethic, but you’ll still pay 70% less than a UK equivalent support. It’s a no-brainer to complement existing teams to handle surplus demand or to ease cost pressures. If you’re not using this time to rip up your business model and rebuild it with global resources, you are going to fall behind those that do. Due to demand and capacity restraints, they are operating a waiting list at the moment, so be quick to get in touch: www.tryuntapped.com__________________________________________Episode Sponsor: Hoxo Ready to find 25+ warm leads within 7 days on LinkedIn?As a recruiter, most of the working day is spent chasing people via cold outreach on...
