There are a lot of myths about recruitment automation, what it is, and how it's implemented. These myths prevent recruitment businesses who need to scale / grow / have head space / bill more, make real progress.
Read more, and watch our 5-minute mythbusting video for insight on the reality of recruitment automation and how it's a giant-killer, playing field leveller, and sales enabler.
Recruitment automation (not to be belittled by the mere "marketing automation") is allowing many recruiters to save money, time, headspace, and...
Weaponise their data.
Speed up their placements.
Sell more.
Plus more...
But like all advances in tech, there are myths and legends which surround it.
Myths like:
It's a time-consuming beast of a project.
You need a full-time employee to implement it.
Once live it's a full-time job to manage it.
If you can't go "big bang", don't bother!
I chatted with Wayne (AKA "The Automator") and Jay (from Bullhorn) about these myths versus the reality. What is the reality of implementing recruitment automation?
Automation Myths... Busted!
We chatted about:
What really happens during an implementation?
What do you gain (and what do you lose) when you automate?
How can you start your project with a small number of powerful automations to give you breathing space and reduce reliance on expensive 3rd party systems like LinkedIn Recruiter and Job Boards?
What does a good "cadence" of automations look like?
This short myth-busting video is a must-watch for recruiters big, small, and cute, who need head space, easier and cheaper sourcing, reduced reliance on Linkedin and job boards, stronger pipelines, and happier recruiters.

Automation Tip - Housekeeping to Increase Speed and ROI
We've got a 1-minute tip to ensure that your automations increase speed and ROI - and it's all about housekeeping!Often, housekeeping an automation platform is the last thing on anyone's mind, especially when recruiters need quick wins like more leads, opportunities, candidates and clients, and placements!But on my Automation Buddy programs, where I coach and build automations for ambitious recruitment businesses, I often find their automation system bloated, difficult to manage, sluggish, and driving little ROI.I find:Too many lists.Active automations which no longer needed.Duplicated surveys.Unnecessary fields are syncing.Difficult to assess ROI.The Impact? Anti-ROIWhen you don't keep your automation system clean, and you ignore regular housekeeping, you will inadvertently achieve the total opposite of what automation was setup to do for you.Wasted time: You spend time unpicking each time you want to build a new automation, or when you want to analyse an existing automation.Spam and disengagement: You risk spamming or over-communicating with candidates, contacts, and recruiters, creating disengagement and unsubscribes.Reduced speed: Your automations may actually slow down and create delays with processing unnecessary data.But I have a fix for you to ensure that automation housekeeping is on point keeps your system running smoothly and delivering massive ROI.Watch My Quick 1-Minute Automation Video, Nail Your HousekeepingAutomation BuddyWe are Automation Buddies set on helping ambitious recruitment businesses who want to drive revenue using automation.READ ABOUT OUR AUTOMATION BUDDY SERVICENeed more Bullhorn / Automation Tips?
