When my team and I begin working with a recruitment business, we often find that their recruitment system is seen as “sales-prevention-software” and thus an expense rather than an investment. But every recruitment leader and IT leader in recruitment wants their CRM and recruitment software to deliver real value into the business.
This Recruitment Leaders’ Podcast will give you ideas on how turn your recruitment software (for example Bullhorn and Adapt) into a key recruitment business enabler.
How Can You Make Your Recruitment CRM (at Least) Cost Neutral?
In this episode of my podcast, I spoke to James Payne about:
We all know what our recruitment software costs… or at least how much cash we give the supplier, but how do we know that it’s working? And what does “working” even mean?
Uptime? Creating loads of admin for busy sales people? Creating a great datadump of candidates that recruiters won’t have time to source from, so go “off-piste” on to LinkedIn instead of being on the phone. Of course not, recruitment leaders!
How do you know that your system is not working for you? And by working, we mean delivering what your business needs, not just a database to host GDPR compliant data?
Which 3 barriers to changing recruitment CRM should you ignore or further research?
What are the opportunity costs of not moving from one recruitment software to another?
How to lose clients by not moving your technology forward
How is your CRM actually restricting your more experienced (and high value) recruiters?
How can you use recruitment tech to retain your staff? Recruiter churn is embarrassingly high in a sector which professes to be able to recruit
Do we have too much data?
And a great question… How can you make your Recruitment CRM cost neutral?

How to Use Recruitment Awards in 2022 to Drive Your Sales Pipeline
We’re passionate about recruitment awards! Whether you’re entering, winning, attending or spying, there’s ROI to be had for recruiters, beyond simply having a recruitment award trophy.There are 2 things I want to talk about today:The Recruitment Awards happening in 2022A top tip on how to run your recruitment sales strategy with awards, without even submitting an awards entry!We Are Award Winners!We are proud to be triple award winners, including the APSCo award for Affiliate Member of the Year. Luckily, we followed our own advice when submitting our entries. As a frequent judge and recruitment marketing mentor, I help recruitment marketers to craft their awards entries and to focus on which awards are really going to add value.(Recruitment Award Winning Hack: often the best awards are the ones which are NOT recruitment specific – i.e. the ones for your sector… which are not always recruitment – IT / Games / Medical, etc.)1. Your List of Recruitment Awards for 2022Check out our 2022 list recruitment awards list below! (Have we missed any recruitment awards for the remainder of 2022? Contact Us to get them added.)This year recruiters need to do more with less. The goal is never to win an award. The goal is to generate more speed and pipeline. To give you support, we’ve created our Recruitment Awards Toolkit for recruitment leaders, recruiters and marketers to improve their awards submissions, and see ROI from the events (whether they enter, win, or simply attend!).Onrec AwardsMarch 2022 - The prestigious Onrec Awards 2022 Ceremony now in its 16th year has cemented itself in the calendar as the industry's must attend event.

As a previous judge and recruitment marketing whizz, my expertise in recruitment websites delivering ROI could help you nail this one!2. Recruitment Awards Driving Your Sales Strategy (Without Even Entering)Let's face it, now more than ever, your inbound sales strategies are absolutely crucial in a post-pandemic world where the war for talent is raging, counteroffers are rife, and clients need recruiters that they can trust, who understand their niche.My top tip to add turbo to your sales strategy? Speedily research which awards are prevalent in your niche sectors, and track the shortlists and winners and use this data to target your client base. By definition, clients that are entering awards, tend to be high growth, ambitious, and likely have money and time to spend on recruitment too!. Surely?We know how important it is to see ROI from entering awards. It’s great to win and be recognised, but what about not entering at all, and simply using the awards process to drive your sales process? Use this great awards list website (and Google) to help you unearth a list of awards in your sectors. Plot the dates into your diaries and pick up the phone!
