Topic: Demand for career transition services highlighted: s and employees are calling for outplacement and career transition provisions. Services such as career guidance, CV or interview advice should be a compulsory part of all redundancies, those polled by Hays stated. In fact, nearly two thirds of employers want the government to fund this kind of support. Nearly half (47 per cent) of employers believe it should be compulsory for organisations to provide career transition services to staff being made redundant, the study of almost 300 human resource professionals and line managers found. More than 750 workers across the public, private and voluntary sectors were also involved in the research, which revealed that they are expecting further redundancies in the next 12 months. The Institute for Public Policy Research states that the number of people working part-time because they are unable to find full-time work has exceeded one million.…; Added by Stewart Roberts to Total Back Office Solutions Limited at 11:26am on May 28, 2010

Comment on: Topic 'Fee Question? Do you get paid for performance?': r see it as a value for money proposition. They see value, but not value for money. Worse, is the guarantee. This creates so much angst, I decided to get rid of it altogether. So I structured my fee this way, no guarantee, half fee after 6 weeks, the other half after 6 months, but only payable if the candidate still employed. This was based on the premise that a good manager has a pretty good idea a Recruiter will work out within 6 weeks and if the Recruiter is still there after 6 months they must be working out ok. (Interested to hear comments on that.) With one client, all was going well, both parties happy and got paid after 6weeks. Sent the second part invoice after 6 months, they refused to pay. The Recruiter was not working out. Still employed though, but not working out. And this is in the Rec2Rec business. …; Added by Michael Webb at 5:58pm on April 14, 2011

Comment on: Topic 'Submitting Candidates when ONE is already set to interview': than a "possible" offer. At that point you will then have just that, an offer. So what's the problem here? Until you have an offer for your candidate (and an acceptance....and a start date....and an invoice.....and a payment....) you've got "a shot" at those things happening. Why not take 2 shots? Or better yet - oh no! Here I go! Why don't you ask your client? "Hey, Larry. I'm torn here. I know you're pretty pumped up about Jane's interview Monday - but I've uncovered a sharp guy that is also right on target. Which way would you like to go?" A rule I learned a few decades ago still holds true: If your client is still taking sendouts - they better be yours! …; Added by Jerry Albright at 3:09pm on November 28, 2012

Topic: Apprenticeships in specialist professions encouraged: ruitment company could benefit from the creation of more opportunities for apprenticeships in specialist professions, which are likely to result in a skilled talent pool in the future. Business secretary Vince Cable is urging young people to pursue a career in aerospace, according to the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, which also revealed that expansion of apprenticeships at Level 3 and above is underway. Those looking into recruitment company accounting may want to know that there is unmet employer demand for advanced level apprenticeships, especially in sectors such as engineering. Commenting on the revelations, Steve Huxham, chairman of the Recruitment Society, stated that increasing opportunities for people to take up apprenticeships can result in the emergence of a mixed economy. "One of the benefits generally for society and for business is that it makes people realise that apprenticeships have real value so that people who have gone through quite demanding apprenticeships are not devalued," he explained.…; Added by Stewart Roberts to Total Back Office Solutions Limited at 5:56am on July 20, 2010

Topic: Hiring activity up, but competition is intense: t up a recruitment agency may find some encouragement from the latest figures on the state of the labour market released by Totaljobs.com. According to the recruitment firm, hiring activity is picking up as the number of vacancies created has increased by more than six per cent over the last few months, reports the UK Press Association. However, people looking for recruitment agency formation advice may be concerned to hear that job hunters still face a difficult period as some secretarial jobs are attracting 26 applications. "A slight rise in recruitment has encouraged those in employment to have confidence to seek their next position," John Salt, director of Totaljobs.com, is quoted by the news provider as saying. "This is increasing competition for those out of employment and increasingly pitching the desperate against the ambitious in a two speed jobs market." Recruiters setting up their own companies can outsource back office solutions such as invoice and payroll management in order to free up their time.…; Added by Stewart Roberts to Total Back Office Solutions Limited at 7:06am on July 21, 2010

Topic: Small firms bullish about trading conditions: ess Factors Index published by Bibby Financial Services could offer some encouragement to those looking to set up a recruitment agency in the near future. A poll conducted by the organisation found that despite business output declining by 12.4 points during the second quarter of 2010, the majority of small firms (72 per cent) remain optimistic about their current trading conditions. One in six (17 per cent) small and medium-sized firms admitted that their business is either doing well as a result of actually benefiting from the recession, or that it is in the best shape ever. This is an increase from ten per cent in the previous index and Edward Rimmer, UK chief executive at Bibby Financial Services, said it is encouraging to see optimism among UK business owners and managers despite economic momentum slowing down. People setting up a recruitment company could outsource back office requirements, including invoice payments, timesheet management and payrolls in order to free up time to focus on business building.…; Added by Stewart Roberts to Total Back Office Solutions Limited at 6:50am on August 2, 2010

Comment on: Topic 'To Job Board or Not to Job Board...that is the Question.': lking to my client. lots of times, our clients would say we have subscriptions to all the main job boards so don;t send us anyone who is on a job board. we would always say we can't guarantee that the candidate is not on a job board but even if they are, it should not matter because if they are qualified and you are not talking to them, I've done a good thing by making them aware of you and you aware of them. I don't believe that the main service a recruiter brings to the table for the client is the identification of the candidate. It's the art of getting the candidate to accept the position with your client. Identifying a candidate with the right skills is easier today than ever before. Recruiters are not paid what they get paid for sourcing candidates. a name on a list just means you have someone to call. it's a long way off from sending an invoice.…; Added by Slouch at 12:16pm on February 3, 2010

Comment on: Blog Post 'Social recruiting? It's just a passing fad (unless you're a household name comp…': ld I feel inclined to continue trying to squeeze something out of the Social Recruiting world? No. Not unless I have no need for cash flow. Is it an emerging platform? Well I guess it is. Can someone in my position afford to stake my claim early and await the arrival of my desired candidate pool? Perhaps spending months/years in the "early adopter" role? No way. Funny how the question seems to be "Can anyone show me a result or two from Social Recruiting?" - as if somehow putting a few hires together would justify this entire charade? (Pronouced "sha - 'rod" for those of you in the UK) What I find interesting is how the discussion isn't "how much better" Social Recruiting is. It's "does it even work?" Anyone whose livelihood depends on sending an invoice from time to time is most likely NOT putting much emphasis on the SM Strategy. …; Added by Jerry Albright at 10:20am on February 16, 2011
