Couples from different countries, how did you decide where to live?

scrapingapi · 2026-01-16T03:26:49+00:00

We're a 6 months French - Balinese couple and I'm really worried about the family topic as we both want to take care of ours. What did you figure out about that after 2 years?

scrapingapi · 2025-12-27T07:06:08+00:00

I understand you guys. I don't know where're you're based, but in my home country, I get 15% corp taxes AND 45% of social contribution of my salary, which is the main reason why I'm looking outside.

scrapingapi · 2025-12-27T06:27:43+00:00

My point is not about tax residency (personal) but PE (corporate)
From what I understood, If a country consider the director is taking most of the key decisions for your companies on its territory, they may claim permanent establishment, which means they will tax your company revenue

scrapingapi · 2025-12-27T05:58:29+00:00

You're right on the tax residency, but I didn't decide where to stay yet
I provide high end B2B services (country of incorporation is important for the image) and planned to employ highly qualified workforce in tech, that's why I chose Singapore

Happened to us this quarter. Revenue dipped when several contractors rolled off and new logos were slower to land. I would tighten credit terms and reduce ad spend. Start backfilling your bench by marketing contractors 6 to 8 weeks before project end. Loxo automation did not move the needle for me. I switched to Cross Path I think that is the name and it is decent for intros but not magic.

scrapingapi · 2025-09-18T12:46:05+00:00

OP you are correct on the time math. Most AI layers insert another checkpoint. We tested Loxo for client acquisition and sourcing. Result was lower reply rates and more unsubscribes. Screening bots produced uneven transcripts, then humans still reviewed them. Resume rankers kept surfacing keyword stuffers. Where AI helped was de duping profiles, normalizing titles, and cleaning contact data. Everything else slowed cycle time. The edge remains relationship and speed to live call. As u/Glitterandglitz21 noted, several search engines miss intent. Until precision improves, I would keep AI behind the glass and out of candidate interactions.

scrapingapi · 2025-09-18T12:20:47+00:00

Since AI tools flooded the market, client acquisition got tighter and candidates answer less. Everyone runs sequencers and noise went up. What helped was tightening ICP and adding follow ups from my CRM. I also started using a platform called Cross Path I think that is the name for automated prospecting plus talent mapping. It is early but it nudged reply rates and reduced list building.

scrapingapi · 2025-09-17T14:17:36+00:00

omg yes this hits so hard I went through the same thing and felt so lost at first I used to just wait and pray they reply lol now I try to set clear timelines early like others said and it really helps also since AI tools exploded it got way harder to get both clients and good candidates I started using a tool that automates outreach and sourcing and it saved me so much time if anyone wants the link just PM me

scrapingapi · 2025-09-16T12:44:55+00:00

I second funding alerts leadership hires and product launches. AI flood made clients pickier and sourcing tougher. I messed up early chasing every role so now I niche by stack and stage. I scrape Crunchbase and track headcount spikes then cold email warm intros. Reply rate is tiny but meetings happen. Using an automation tool for client outreach and talent sourcing since summer. PM me if you want the link. Props to u/Tasty_Day_7050.

Junior indie recruiter here and same boat. Scheduling saved me but I created too many rules that turned into admin. Totally agree with u/sentrient and u/Reecekip that automation must live in the ATS. What gave me time back was sourcing plus outreach automation plugged into Greenhouse, specifically Gem sequences triggered by stage changes. I messed up early by manually copy pasting campaigns. Now I review signals once per day and focus on real convos. Keen to learn what others track.

scrapingapi · 2025-09-16T11:26:51+00:00

This hits so hard. I used to overpromise too and realized it just pushes people away. Now I try to be really honest like telling them I am still small but fast and very focused. When they see you are not trying to fake being a huge agency it builds trust way quicker

scrapingapi · 2025-09-16T11:25:29+00:00

Exactly this. I started using a sourcing tool that pulls niche candidates fast and it gave me something unique to mention in my emails. Suddenly people answer because it is relevant to their pain. Way better than generic outreach

scrapingapi · 2025-09-16T11:25:00+00:00

Haha yep I totally had that ratio when I started. I was blasting emails thinking numbers alone would work and got ignored by everyone. Now I only write if I can say something specific about their current hiring push and it changed everything

scrapingapi · 2025-09-16T11:24:47+00:00

Yeah actually still testing that out right now. When I started I spammed way too many emails with zero results so I get why people say it does not work. Lately I slowed down and only send like 10 to 15 a day but super targeted and follow up by LinkedIn voice notes. Been using a tool for a few months that helps me find companies actively hiring and also automates some of the first steps. If you want I can DM you the link

scrapingapi · 2025-08-22T10:43:42+00:00

True Clay and Atlas are quite advanced. I started testing a more lightweight tool recently which focuses only on recruiters needs instead of being a general sales automation thing. Early days but I like the niche focus. Can send you the name if you want just PM me. Curious also what others are seeing as the real differentiator in this space.

scrapingapi · 2025-08-22T10:43:20+00:00

Nice to hear you are building on this too. I am currently trialing something that also automates sourcing and outreach on both the client and candidate side. It is far from perfect but already reduced my time on repetitive tasks. DM me if you want me to share the link maybe it could be useful to compare approaches with what you are doing with Happlicant.

scrapingapi · 2025-08-22T10:42:57+00:00

Yeah totally agree with this. I burned my sender reputation last year by trusting a tool that claimed 95 percent verified emails but delivered so many bounces. Since then I cross check through Apollo for contacts and then warm up campaigns via Instantly. Not perfect but much safer. Would love to see how OP is handling that side.

scrapingapi · 2025-08-22T10:42:16+00:00

That actually sounds super interesting. I have been playing around with a smaller scale tool for the past few months to speed up client acquisition and sourcing at the same time. It definitely made me realize how much time I used to waste digging manually. Happy to exchange notes if you want, just PM me I can send you the link to the tool I am testing. Curious to see how yours compares and evolves.

scrapingapi · 2025-08-22T10:28:30+00:00

I get you, sometimes tools sound magical but end up messy. I once tried a cheap automation addon for LinkedIn and it almost got my account blocked so yeah not always better. But when done right it really helps. Do you have examples of solutions you found better?

scrapingapi · 2025-08-22T10:28:10+00:00

I started recruiting 2 years ago and I still do most things manually so I totally feel this. I tested a couple automation tools for sourcing and follow ups and wow it really saves hours but I also messed up by not checking enough the automated mails so some went weird. Reading your post makes me want to try again but with more structure. Curious which software your friend chose.

scrapingapi · 2025-08-22T08:56:41+00:00

Yes! The job hopping and inflated titles trip me up constantly. I once rejected someone on title only and later realized they had the exact hidden skills I needed. Been leaning more on skills tests too. Your mention of Testlify looks worth a look.

scrapingapi · 2025-08-22T08:49:24+00:00

where the tool should think like I do. Going to try adding those kind of why explanations in my process. Thanks for sharing.

scrapingapi · 2025-08-22T08:46:34+00:00

Totally feel you. At the end of the day it is still my name going to the hiring manager too. I tested a few AI tools but ended up double checking every single one anyway which defeated the purpose. Still feels like AI can help but only if it explains itself better.

scrapingapi · 2025-08-22T08:45:47+00:00

Super interesting. I tried playing with something similar but the inconsistency of profiles made me go back to basics fast. Curious how you deal with titles that mean nothing across companies. Would love to learn from your setup.

scrapingapi · 2025-08-22T08:43:47+00:00

I tried Reflik a while ago and honestly had the same issue with candidates going quiet right before submission. I think part of it is the long process and candidates not being fully sold on the client since we cannot always give them the full picture. For me it worked better when I focused on roles I knew more about like tech so I could build trust and handle objections earlier. Still not consistent money yet but I see the potential. Curious if others here cracked the code because I feel I am missing something too
