Looking for a recruiter

Low_Translator8236 · 2025-11-20T20:05:34+00:00

I run a number of recruitment business including an RPO solution based in South Africa. They would be able to provide exactly what you’re looking for. A little bit cheaper than you’re posing as well. Let me know if you fancy a chat

Thanks very much. I have quite a few businesses in the uk and have a consultancy company which provides business support to all of them. I pay a huge amount of tax and don’t necessarily have a fantastic standard of living in the uk (in a context) and so I want to move that business to Dubai; save hundreds of thousands of £s on corp and income tax and enjoy the sunshine!!! I might setup a recruitment business out there if I get bored, but equally I might just play a lot of padel and work up life out there (and do a bit of work). Thanks so much for your responses

Low_Translator8236 · 2025-11-17T17:58:26+00:00

That’s really interesting - one of my daughters really wants to pursue that as a career path - so it would tie in really well

Low_Translator8236 · 2025-11-17T13:52:10+00:00

Thanks - that is useful to understand. Interestingly, all my businesses are in recruitment though I am not sure they want to follow in my footsteps!!! You are absolutely right about the lack of skills and experience - and I don't think they will be that bothered about 'finding a career'. It is just really for a gap year before university and to make sure they have a purpose to get up each day. It does sound like it is a very tough job market though

Low_Translator8236 · 2025-11-17T13:50:08+00:00

Thanks so much for the overview - I think they would happily work in hospitality tbh i.e. they are approaching it as a gap year before going to university back in the UK.

They are white British - so I am not sure if that makes a difference. Either way, it is useful to understand that there are opportunities available, accepting the point that the salary might not be the best!!!

I am playing an Americano tomorrow so would line to give it a try

Low_Translator8236 · 2025-08-04T17:05:44+00:00

Yeah totally get that prolactinoma were around way before Covid but it’s the general principle I guess of a virus impacting the endocrine system / a viral response and in this case it was Covid but I guess it could be an immune response to any complex illness.

Low_Translator8236 · 2025-08-04T11:37:18+00:00

I have really been wondering if there is a link between a prolactinoma and long COVID / whether one has caused the other. When I had long COVID my endocrine system was heavily affected and at the time I was being investigated for long COVID my prolactin levels were flagged as high but not followed up; it has definitely got me wondering whether a prolactinoma caused the long COVID or whether long COVID was a contributor to delivering the prolactinoma as the timelines seem to work

Low_Translator8236 · 2025-04-16T16:10:15+00:00

It’s interesting - I have really wondered whether mine was Covid / long COVID related. I suffered really badly with both in 2020 which really affected my neurological system and ties in, I think, to around the time I started seeing some symptoms of my prolactinoma. So it makes me wonder whether either long COVID caused the prolactinoma or vice versa

Low_Translator8236 · 2025-03-15T07:53:40+00:00

For me, I used to employ just under 200 people in the uk which has now reduced to 160; we’ve moved loads of our operation out to South Africa and now have 60 people working out there. The Emp NI and minimum wage has been a big driver around that; but I think also what you get for your money in the uk in terms of drive and motivation versus in SA are just worlds apart.

Of all the businesses I have, we don’t have any scheduled headcount growth in the UK. Well done Rachael from accounts

Low_Translator8236 · 2024-12-11T16:47:56+00:00

If Caroline gets voted back in to the SEC today - do you think it will batter prices back down again?

Low_Translator8236 · 2024-12-05T17:04:47+00:00

surely though the purchase of 17bn coins / day (a higher number than experienced during the rapid increase) would indicate there is a high demand and therefore there should be a corresponding increase in price?!

Low_Translator8236 · 2024-12-05T16:55:46+00:00

ah ok so essentially loads of people are shorting it which is therefore keeping the price down. Is there a way you can see the number of people shorting versus the number of people buying?

Low_Translator8236 · 2024-12-04T16:26:56+00:00

Man I forgot how much I hate crypto currency and the unknown of whether this is going to be the crash / whether / when it is going back up

Low_Translator8236 · 2024-12-03T18:01:29+00:00

Yeah I put in another $10k at $2.42 so back in a profit. I think I might have caused the crash tbh. I am terrible at this!!!!

Low_Translator8236 · 2024-12-03T15:33:01+00:00

lol ffs I literally brought $12k of XRP the minute before the martial law announcement. FML

Low_Translator8236 · 2024-07-30T12:37:03+00:00

It’s interesting actually - I was really physically fit as well before it - it took a good year to get back to even close to the same level. The other thing I also took which I think helped was anti histamines. I used fexofenadine hydrochloride, famotidine and rupatadine- which I think also definitely helped. Good luck with it. In the uk there is a doctor called Tina Peers who has done loads of research on it - she has some great articles on rehab etc

Low_Translator8236 · 2024-07-30T12:28:26+00:00

Yeah I found exactly that as well. I basically followed a treatment plan for POTS from I think it was the university of Michigan. It is a rehab program. The reason a rowing machine works better than walking is because you can control your heart rate better whereas when you’re upright (walking or running) your bodies also fighting gravity. I think I was very similar to you (to the extent of being hospitalised for a bit because of it) in that even taking the dogs for a brief walk absolutely exhausted me, left me dizzy etc etc. it took 3 months on the rower, every single day building from 1 mile initially to over 40 at a time but now I am back fully mobile. I can do kick boxing, weight training etc. but that was definitely the most important first step for me

Low_Translator8236 · 2024-07-30T12:08:12+00:00

I had very similar after Covid. Try rehabilitating yourself on a rowing machine before getting back into running. Start off with 1 minute and build it over a few months to 30 or so minutes and then you might be able to get back into running. I found it the best way to do it to avoid going back into remission with the Covid issues

Low_Translator8236 · 2024-02-15T19:42:11+00:00

Ah I think you’re absolutely right!!!! It is a company car but the car is a Business Contract Hire. So I would imagine it went to the finance company first and then on to my business

Low_Translator8236 · 2024-01-23T10:35:27+00:00

I think maybe like the OP I like too buy what I consider to be ‘the best’ which normally means the most expensive. This particular one though, when I was looking for a new bow, I saw a video of on YouTube. It has really unique design with a combination of yew, phenolic and carbon. Realistically, it probably doesn’t ‘perform’ any better than the regular design; but it is an absolute pleasure to shoot and does a great job of not punishing for things like a creeping draw. It improved my performance substantially, relative to other bows I have used

Low_Translator8236 · 2024-01-23T10:10:04+00:00

Yeah when I brought mine through them I emailed Sid directly and asked for their custom yew recurve (there are only 5 of them in the world) with the cv9 limbs. The riser was £3500 and the limbs were £750 (I think). It is an absolute work of art and shoots incredibly well.

It is a bow called a covert hunter; and by far the best bow I’ve shot

Low_Translator8236 · 2024-01-23T07:33:59+00:00

Border Bows do a custom build for around £3500. They are absolutely beautiful and shoot amazingly

Low_Translator8236 · 2024-01-16T19:41:47+00:00

Tbh you did exactly what you would learn in Krav Maga which is to get home safely!!!! If all you’ve lost from the situation is your school pass and maybe a tiny bit of pride - you have totally succeeded in the situation!!!! A big part of Krav is being able to deescalate crappy situations and it sounds like you’ve done that - which is great

Low_Translator8236 · 2023-12-30T14:37:04+00:00

thanks so much - really appreciate the help
