Recruitment leaders who want to scale and grow their businesses through their data, recruitment systems, and of course people, need to listen to this 15 minute podcast.
It’s crucial that your team engages with your recruitment software and generates the process and management information you need – this podcast contains some insight into how recruiters and their leaders can be more effective with their people, systems and data.
As a business the Barclay Jones team spends a lot of time in the board room and training room talking to recruiters about their Recruitment CRM. We find the same challenges over and over and so wanted to put the common obstacles together and share our thoughts on how you can overcome these challenges in your recruitment business.
In this podcast, Chloe and I discuss the key issues that prevent Recruiters from being “addicted” to their CRM system, creating great data and using that data to make money. It will be 16 minutes out of your day, and will give you some sustainable ideas to save you time and money.
I am a Recruiter Success Trainers at Barclay Jones, and help recruiters with their Adapt, Bullhorn systems, as well as LinkedIn success and attracting candidates through the best Job Adverts. One of our key goals is to train recruiters how to be effective using their CRM. We train recruiters to use systems to create more phone and face time – and to hit their KPIs!
Why Doesn’t My Team of Recruiters Use Our Recruitment CRM?
So, you’re a recruitment leader who needs to see your CRM engagement improve. This will lead to more candidates, clients and cash. In this podcast I talked about:
Why doesn’t my team of recruiters use our Recruitment CRM?
How has recruitment technology changed over the last few years and what impact has this had on the businesses they have worked with?
Why are recruiters still using spreadsheets?
Why is recruitment office culture important to effective adoption?
Why do recruitment leaders need to improve adoption of systems?
And how do they improve adoption?
Are there any quick wins to get my recruiters using my CRM and hitting their KPIs?
With GDPR, recruiter retention and wanting to grow before 2020, recruitment leaders need some practical and sustainable advice for how to get their teams and systems more connected to sales-led processes.

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.
