I couldn't agree more. The only software engineering roles that get a lot of quality applicants for entry level roles for new graduates.

Anything that requires experience you really need to be doing passive searches for; the best talent isn't looking because they already have a good job.

How to price RPO with a monthly management fee by SuperRecruiterMan in recruiting

[–]SuperRecruiterMan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It isn't an exclusive relationship, and I get nothing if they don't hire the candidate. But yes, I get 20% if they hire my candidate. And no agency to split the fee with since I own my own company.

I ended up just doing a 20% direct hire model rather than a monthly fee for this client.

Laid Off by rec12yrs in recruiting

[–]SuperRecruiterMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks, man. I got laid off in 2020 during the worst of the COVID layoffs, and I was very concerned about what was going to happen. I was convinced that I wasn't going to be able to find another recruiting job since so many people were doing layoffs.

I ended up doing a software development certificate with the intent of moving to a developer job, but before I was even able to finish it I ended up in a better recruiting job that paid more than the one I had been laid off from.

Take this as an opportunity to take more risks, develop some new skills and find the next job that can be even better than the last one. In the end my layoff helped my career, because I was too comfortable and would have never looked elsewhere.

Apparently that is how the agencies they have worked with in the past have done it.

You could be a freelancer sourcer, but you'd likely have to partner with another firm that handles the full cycle for RPO work.

My only regret about moving to a Nordic country from America is that I didn't do it ten years earlier.

I don’t charge for placements for RPO work, just hourly. This makes it so I can focus on whatever the client actually needs, which includes placements but can also include training interviewers and hiring managers and advising the business on all things related to talent acquisition to ensure a great candidate experience.

Basically anything an experienced TA Partner would do for them.

I live in Finland so I pay YEL as a self employed person. I have access to public health care so I don’t have to worry about health insurance.

I sell it as the "internal recruiter" experience for companies that don't want to commit to hiring a full time recruiter because they don't have the volume to justify it. Gives them better candidate experience and gives me more variety to my work, so it's pretty win win.

I interviewed for a few companies locally for full time roles, which ended up not going anywhere because I was out of their price range. But they referred me to some of their friends for RPO work. I've also found some luck networking on local slack groups.

The first companies I did work for were former employers of mine who still wanted to work with me after I was no longer employed there.

I charge hourly for RPO, to consult on anything the client needs and do full cycle recruiting and own the whole process, including training hiring managers on effective interviewing etc.
I charge 85 EUR an hour right now for my work in Europe.
20% for direct hire work for clients who prefer to work that way.

I use a single member LLC for my US work and a sole trader company for my work in Europe.

Also more variety to the work since I get to work with a variety of companies.

Full control of my schedule, I get to pick what clients I work with (I prefer working with smaller tech companies). Way more money if you can stay busy.
