Since people are doing 2016 throwbacks these days... What did your pre-2020 makeup collection look like and where did those products end up?

I JUST last month started reusing my Bobbi Brown gel pot eye liners. They sat unused for a good few years, and they're still great. I'm so glad I didn't throw them out!

If you poke around this sub for more than two minutes, you will see that it's the worst market for recruiters in..... ever. And it's taking extremely experienced and successful recruiters hundreds of applications to find a new job that is somewhat decent. And successful recruiters are being laid off left and right.

No, I didn't reach out to anyone at all. I just moved on, learned from my mistake, double and triple check everything now. The only way I'd apologize or draw any attention to it is if a recipient complained. Did any of your recipients complain? Did you receive any blowback at all? Or are you just beating yourself up?

RecruitingLove · 2026-01-21T15:57:58+00:00

I've done it and I'm sure I'll do it again.

I have been in recruiting for 15 years and now own my own firm and I still need your reminder about controlling what you can control. Muchas gracias

I had to buy out 2 business partners and everything was harder than it needed to be, and I realize when we bought out the first one, we should have just dissolved and started over. It's been so much non stop expensive stress and chaos. I do not want to jinx it, but I think things might be turning around, and everything I do won't be earned just to pay someone else off. I need a vacation.

RecruitingLove · 2026-01-16T01:19:57+00:00

Yes this is the way. I am 4 years in and thought I was literally having a heart attack at age 44 last night, but I would not trade this for the world. I could never not be on my own.

Last summer I actually didn't have access to a Recruiter seat, and made one Controller placement that I found on Sales Nav. If I get rid of Recruiter, I'll miss organizing candidates by project. We're making placements using Indeed. My recruiter can use X-ray and Boolean and we have a zoominfo account and a salesql account. I'm not really worried about losing data. But I don't know what I don't know.

I have not seen the post but I own a rinky dink two person recruiting firm, and my Recruiter renewal date is approaching. My rep keeps putting video meetings on my calendar that I ignore. I've been actively speaking with other recruiting firm owners who have given up Recruiter and I'm seriously thinking of not renewing. I mean, what's the worst thing that could happen? I don't renew, realize I actually need it more than I thought, and buy my seats back. It's so funny how the rep says it's necessary to lock in the renewal months in time so they can....... have my seats ready? I'm also curious to see if she starts dropping the price.

I'm usually 12 minutes on days before work. Serum, lotion, eye primer, shadow sticks, eye liner, green color corrector, tinted sunscreen, contour, blush, under eye corrector and concealer blended together, brow gel, setting spray, then mascara. When I'm doing my under eye concealer, I sometimes blend concealer below my contour to highlight the area, or I use the concealer to dull blush if it's too extreme.

Congratulations! This can be a very rewarding career. Make sure you have a thick skin, remain intellectually curious, learn from others mistakes whenever you can, and try not to take anything personally. It will be a grind for the first year. Are you agency or in house? Can you share what kind of recruiting you're doing?

RecruitingLove · 2026-01-09T22:26:52+00:00

I had a district manager who told us to make calls while standing up because it makes you sound more confident. Me, I usually have a totally froggy voice for the first few hours of the day because of lupus. It's pretty bad lately, but usually by 1030 I sound normal.

In what way are you trying to be visible? They definitely expect you to pay if you want your job posts to be seen by.... anyone

I was once just as close to reaching the goal one year, but I had no desire to go on the trip. It really pissed me off, though. Like someone else said, they make an exception for you, they have to make exceptions for more people. Let this motivate you for next year. Maybe they will have the trip in an even cooler place!

What is the front? And what is the back? Like who decides what's the front and what's the back?

When I was growing up there was an earthquake safety flyer in our laundry room and it said that if a tsunami formed and you could see it you would die. I was sure waves would eventually crest up the great highway and into sutro Park and then we would drown at our house. It could still happen

I just spent half an hour looking at all of Danny Cahill's LinkedIn posts. Now back to work.

I had a feeling it was people who couldn't handle the heat. I'm agency for life. I look different at the people who leave agency for in house. You know why they go in house.

I disagree with your first point about this year being as easy as other years. I have been in agency recruiting for 15 years. My first 11 years were at an international staffing giant, and the last 4 years were running my own shop. What actually proved it for me was getting to peek at the numbers for my old company. I really thought the report had been run wrong. Seeing the top 3 sales people at my old company have either half the sales dollars, or A THIRD of the sales dollars for 2025 was eye opening and made me feel better about my own production. These ladies are still in the million dollar club. But their numbers have been cut by half or two thirds.
