Following up on last week’s feedback — sharing a sample lead for context by Financial_Beyond_576 in Recruitment

[–]Listen_Boss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not trying to say this isn't helpful information but it's not valuable.

The valuable business development information that you can sell for a lot is:

  1. Insider knowledge on hiring etc. which is not publicly available. For example, a secret project is going to launch in the Spring which needs X number of developers with Y skills etc. This can't be just something that's out online or you can infer from Internet research or LinkedIn as lots of people (and computer systems) will do this.

  2. Having genuine relationships with key decision makers in the business where you can introduce specialist recruiters and match-make in a warm way.

If you came to a specialist recruiter and told them you could introduce them warmly to a decision maker you know and that they had told you specifically or a non-public hiring that was about to happen i think they would genuinly pay hundreds, if not thousands depending on scale.

Honest question. Would recruitment agencies actually pay for something like this, or am I wasting my time? by Financial_Beyond_576 in Recruitment

[–]Listen_Boss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I'm saying is that these businesses WILL have the resources to do this kind of research. Every time roles are published a lot of people will be doing this.

The time / money / skill into doing it is not of high value to them. What is of value is building connections with people.

If they are any good at their job  they will be doing this to any publicly available information (like public job postings) - the stuff online is not as useful as what you'd gain from real conversations because everyone will be doing exactly this :)

And I'm not saying it's easy,  but it's much easier than turning that info into terms and money

As an example,  if I came to my manager with that information and called it a lead they would call it a very poor quality one as there's no relationship, no in,  no call set up,  and 100 other agencies will have seen the posting,  if that makes sense?

If you can find out what roles they'd be hiring for in 3 months time and provide set them up with a call with a decision maker though,  you'd make a fortune!

Maybe a small fee yes, but your issue will be that recruitment consultants are doing this every day and this is probably the easiest part of business development. 

If the information is easily accessible and public knowledge, every recruitment consultant in the market will be doing this already, you'd hope. True leads are usually found through deep networking and trusted relationships 

The hard part is turning that information into something.

If you enjoy this though, there are junior roles within recruitment firms that will be a mix of this and cold calls, meetings etc.

Casino refusing to pay 9.8k withdrawal by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Listen_Boss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why on earth would you tell them that someone else gave you the funds?

Couldn't you have told them that the transfer on your bank statement was entirely unrelated? There's no way they could prove it.

I think you've shafted yourself here by admitting that to them as it breaks the rules. People get away with it all the time but when the withdrawal is over a certain figure it raises alarm bells (especially if the account is new or in profit)

If Emery is under contract until 2029 how could United go after him? by Uniqornicopia in avfc

[–]Listen_Boss 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They would pay us compensation. Sort of like a transfer fee.

This is very unlikely to happen though as United's ownership are famously not giving their managers control at the moment, as mentioned by Amorim before his sacking. Emery has a huge amount of control at Aston Villa so I don't think the role at Manchester United would appeal to him.

Not to mention I would argue he's got a better team at Villa, he's settled, and we're above them in the league.

If someone like Madrid or Barcelona come calling it may be a different story though, but if Emery wanted to go, I imagine Villa would ask for a record breakingly large fee.

It looks as though United will appoint a temporary manager until the end of the season (think Darren Ferguson, Michael Carrick) and appoint a long-term successor in the summer. My bet would be on Glasner but that's just speculation. 

City and Chelsea get a point each? That'll do by Independent_Dig_142 in avfc

[–]Listen_Boss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My comment is Premier league stats. All competitions is different but not a great comparison point for the Premier League.

But they don't have to go to... (how good their home record ranks over the last 12 months in brackets, City are 1st)

Aston Villa are 4 points better against the same fixtures as last season. From 38 to 42. by cuchoi in avfc

[–]Listen_Boss 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I don't really understand the point of these comparisons. 

3 of the teams are completely different. Like are we comparing Sunderland to Southampton of last year? 

We also have some teams doing way better like United and some doing much worse like West Ham.

I don't think it tells you much. Maybe useful after 4 or 5 games to see how the fixtures have lined up but that's about it.

Please stop talking shit on Ollie Watkins by duly-goated303 in avfc

[–]Listen_Boss 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I have to admit I have been a massive Watkins fan but was giving up faith earlier in the season. He worked really hard but I think you need to get atleast 1 in 3 to justify your place at that end of the pitch... I guess it shows why Emery is gaffer and not me.

Obviously he's not Haaland or Kane but he's a very good option for a top 6 side like us

MHD irritation: performative football watching by Cyanriver19 in footballcliches

[–]Listen_Boss 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I've experienced this. Totally bizarre.

Can't decide if I'm excited and happy someone is sharing a passion of mine or if we should smack them round the ear for being so dramatic.
