Is Recruitment Fked? The Harsh Truth & How to Fix It
Recruitment has changed; in some ways for the better, but in other ways…not so much! Remember the ‘good old days’ when people used the phone, didn't rely on tech to do everything for them and kept recruitment simple instead of overcomplicating it. Yes, those days once did exist. Of course we’ve had some advancements that have benefitted us massively, both technologically and culturally, but some developments are taking us away from what we should really be doing in a role that is meant to be people focused. ⭐ People argue that recruitment is no longer a sales role; is that true? ⭐ There’s often a big disconnect between sales and delivery. ⭐ Short term outcomes are often favoured over thinking of the bigger, long term picture. So, is recruitment actually f**ked? And if so, what can we do about it? My guest on this show is Max Learmonth, Founder and CEO of Forge Talent. With over 12 years of recruitment experience he’s seen the industry evolve, setting up Forge Talent on the basis of wanting to push that change further, and has already grown his team from 3 to 8 consultants in the last 18 months to drive this. We will cover… 💡 Why he thinks the recruitment industry is fked? 💡 Is Recruitment really a sales role? 💡 How he’s doing things differently If you’re frustrated with the industry’s current ways and want real, practical insights on what’s next, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
