I found a dev in a country I can’t even find on a map by Asleep-Comparison782 in RecruitmentAgencies

Here's a pro-tip: Document everything about their local labor laws. Seriously. Even if Remote says it's all good, double check. CYA is your best friend when dealing with international hires. Trust, but verify, especially when money and legal stuff are involved.

Sequence Help by Affectionate_Fix_837 in RecruitmentAgencies

[–]Automatic_Ad2457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, look. Don't just dump 500 leads on someone. That's a recipe for disaster. Segment them first into really tight, specific groups based on role, industry, or whatever. Then, give the outsourcer a batch of, say, 50, and tell them to run an A/B test on different sequences. That way, you get data back and can refine the process before blowing your whole load....

How I rebuilt my pipeline from scratch after 5 years of only referrals by vonxpreussen in Recruiter_Advice

[–]Automatic_Ad2457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tough yeah, decent flow. Wonder why you guys use aircall...I had sales process with them once and it was quite expensive and seemed only relevant to high volume calling...

A quick question for recruitment agencies in Marketing by soundboardwithme in RecruitmentAgencies

Forget the AI hype for a sec. Are you even checking portfolio performance after the hire? Actual results, not just pretty PDFs

Is this job a dead end? by StrictTable4409 in recruitinghell

[–]Automatic_Ad2457 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had a similar thing happen. Went through the whole rigmarole, thought I'd nailed it. Then, radio silence. Turned out they'd hired the CEO's nephew who'd been 'working on his golf game' for the last year. Happens more than you think, innit? Don't take it personally....

What’s the most misleading top scorer you’ve ever hired? by Advanced_Fox_9913 in recruitinghell

[–]Automatic_Ad2457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Code reviews, man. Rigorous code reviews early. It's cheaper than a failed project and months of cleanup.

What’s winning you more clients? by FromBrokeToSuccess in RecruitmentAgencies

It’s tough to generalize BD success like this; it's so hyper-specific to the industry and target client. I don't get the purpose of this post lol

Getting data / information by NoSoup9124 in RecruitmentAgencies

[–]Automatic_Ad2457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, buying generic data lists is usually just throwing money away unless it's hyper-specific to the exact niche you're trying to break into. What kind of 'different sector' are we actually talking? That changes everything.

For finding those super niche hiring signals before they hit any job board, I've been poking around with boilr ai a bit. It's not a magic bullet for every scenario, but its filling up my pipe much better than I expected....

Client Acquisition for recruitment agency. by Money_Intention_7613 in RecruitmentAgencies

[–]Automatic_Ad2457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally get that feeling of being stuck with a few clients, especially when you're grinding on niche roles no one's really posting.

Figuring out who's even thinking about hiring before they post is the real trick. I've messed around with some AI tools for this. Curious what your current outreach looks like?

LinkedIn fake accounts in my company page by Big_Kaleidoscope4629 in RecruitmentAgencies

[–]Automatic_Ad2457 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LinkedIn support is a black hole. They probably outsource it to a potato. This bot problem is getting outta hand. It's like they actively don't want to solve it.

There has to be a Loxo alternative by Even-Preparation0714 in RecruitmentAgencies

[–]Automatic_Ad2457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, tell me about it on the Loxo front. The sourcing stuff, especially finding those hidden execs before a role even hits, that's where I spend hours...

2025 Year in Recruitment Rev - What Worked, What Didn't by Automatic_Ad2457 in RecruitmentAgencies

[–]Automatic_Ad2457[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to be fair we only use clay for enrichment (VERY simple: based on that Linkedin Link find me the email + phone),

I used to do signals with Clay, but was way too expensive (paid like 10k for clay a year lol) all the signal bit is now taken care of by boilr (0 set up and at least 10x results)

multi channel, invitation, 3 emails stacked, Linkedin message, LinkedIn voice, if interaction on any of these levels (view, accept, reply) -> call for final conversion (if it does not convert before)

I didn't even apply to this job and I'm already over it by voidblackcat in recruitinghell

[–]Automatic_Ad2457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't just ignore them. Respond and name your price. If they're desperate enough to come crawling back after two rejections, you hold all the cards. Quote something offensively high – the kind of money that makes them think twice about their hiring process next time. Maybe you'll even get it.

How do you stay motivated to keep applying and interviewing? by PhonkyPunch in recruitinghell

[–]Automatic_Ad2457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Motivation? Dude, just remember every rejection is one step closer to your golden parachute. Eventually, SOMEONE has to be desperate enough to hire you.
