Are you average? The average recruiter spends 13 hours a week sourcing candidates. That’s way too much time, especially when the best candidates are off the market within 10 days.
Our Recruiter Fitness Circuit on Recruitment HIIT will show you how to source the best candidates quickly using an effective, structured recruitment process so you can attract, engage and place candidates before they are snatched up by your competition, and even your cllients!
Candidate Sourcing: Start With Your CRMFirst
Great recruiters don’t spend time sourcing in the wrong places. You need to be using your CRM as the first point for sourcing. We call this CRMFirst.
72% of candidates are already on your CRM before you source them elsewhere. We encounter too many recruiters who advertise jobs when they have candidates right under their noses – what a waste of time and potential fees, and waste of cash on systems and job boards you don't need!
Are you wasting time sourcing candidates that perhaps are already on your CRM?
Do you need to generate more phone time?
Are you spending time advertising jobs you already have candidates for?
Our Recruiter Fitness Circuit HIIT will show you how to:
Dramatically reduce your sourcing time,
Strengthen your pipeline and
Increase your fees.
Below is a sneak peek from Recruitment HIIT to show you how you can drive a speedy, effective sourcing strategy.
Our Step-by-Step Sourcing Tips for New and Experienced Recruiters
During our sourcing training we train recruiters and resourcers to:
Be prepped to source speedily.
Source from your CRM first.
Use sourcing tech to attack your own data, and data you do not have (yet).
Then search the web for candidates you genuinely do not already have.
And all the while focussing on sourcing before advertising, improving speed, and protecting your candidate and client relationships.
Improving Your Recruitment Process
Recruitment requires speed, skill, and process. When managed correctly, recruitment is a fun, rewarding process. Yet, numerous systems, crazy volumes of data, and candidates and clients with their own agendas and goals can make the recruitment process a challenge.
Our new Recruiter Fitness Circuit on Recruitment HIIT has tips and guides to ensure you drive the 4Cs - candidiates, clients, colleagues, and cash! Our recruiting tips will make sure you save time and follow best practice throughout your recruitment process from the point you receive a job order to securing your placement, and beyond.
Our high intensity interval training - Recruitment HIIT- helps recruiters and resourcers source, convert quicker and develop healthy pipelines. We aim to save every recruiter and resourcer at least 1 hour per day (6 working weeks a year). More billing time, more fees!
We’d love you to try Recruitment HIIT free.

Why AI Might Not Fix Recruitment Productivity
Recruitment Leaders - are you looking to engage with tech to help you drive productivity? Are you needing significant RoI from your tech stack? Be careful you don't fall into the pit of "tech before process".In the 2 decades we've been working in recruitment, a persistent, cyclical problem is starting over again — and it's being amplified by the advent of new technology like AI.😔History Repeating Itself: Tech Before ProcessMy team has watched a trend unfold: the belief that simply "buying data and tech and throwing it at a problem" will magically fix it.Unfortunately, it rarely does, and I fear we are seeing this pattern play out again with Artificial Intelligence.The core issue is that the recruitment industry often engages with technology without truly engaging with the process the technology is supposed to fix.We get why. A LOT has happened in and to the recruitment sector in the last 2 decades - it's a big ask for leaders to stand back from the coal face and really invest time in the problem when it's been so disruptive...But, we've seen this cycle before:The CRM wave: A sophisticated recruitment system is bought, added to the recruitment business, and recruiters are told to use it, often without a fundamental change to the underlying workflow.The Automation trend: Tools are purchased to automate tasks, but the initial problem (unproductive activities) remains because the why and how of the automation weren't properly addressed.Now, AI: In the rush to purchase the latest AI tools, many recruitment firms are overlooking the essential step of asking: "What problem are we trying to solve, and how will this technology specifically help me do that?"🤔Purchase V ProblemI recently said to a client who was trying to get buy-in from his recruiters for the AI tools he's bought:Are you processing the AI, or AI-ing the process?One way is wrong, the other right. Food for thought...This focus on the purchase over the problem means we miss the fundamental goal:Fixing recruitment productivity. Empowering recruiters to do the right things at the right time.🙋 WIIFM? What’s In It For Me? The Missing LinkA healthy skepticism - or outright fear - exists among many average recruitment consultants about what AI and automation are really there to do for them.If you're an innovation leader, your mind is likely 20 steps ahead, focused on the competitive edge, efficiency metrics, future-proofing, and adding value to your business. But when introducing new technology, you must take it back to basics and think with the recruitment consultant / resourcer / manager in mind.You need to answer the crucial question for them: "What’s in it for me (the consultant)?" - WIIFM?Stop talking about backend efficiencies and start talking about the individual's tangible benefits:"This will help you make more money.""This will enable you to take a longer lunch break.""This will free you up to see your kids' school plays."Ultimately, this tech is meant to enable recruiters to spend less time on low-value, time-consuming tasks (often up to 80% of their day) and more time on high-impact, revenue-generating activities. Because right now, the stats clearly show they are incredibly busy... potentially doing the wrong stuff.If you want technology to succeed, you have to connect it directly to the recruiter’s personal and professional drivers.What are your thoughts?What is the biggest barrier to getting your recruiters to use new technology effectively?And how will you ensure that you get true value from your tech, data, and people in the next year, and beyond?Automation Buddy / Bullhorn RoIWe are Automation Buddies set on helping ambitious recruitment businesses who want to increase speed and sales.We coach to inspire, and build your automations so you can recruit and sell!Plus, through our Bullhorn Vision service we help generate serious ROI from your Bullhorn, data, and people.READ MORE ABOUT OUR BULLHORN VISION SERVICEREAD ABOUT OUR AUTOMATION BUDDY SERVICEBOOK YOUR FREE CONSULTATION
