HR Red Tape vs Real Recruiters: How to Win the Blue Collar Battle
The world of blue-collar recruitment used to be simple: speed, instinct, and knowing your market. But somewhere along the way, CVs, PSLs, and HR red tape crept in and slowed everything down. The quick-fire, boots-on-the-ground approach that once defined great recruiters has been buried under layers of process that don’t actually help anyone. Recruitment has forgotten what made it powerful: speed, instinct, and trust in the people doing the job. We’ve replaced quick decisions with endless CVs, “meet and greets,” and sign-offs that slow everything to a crawl. HR and procurement teams think they’re adding structure, but too often they’re just getting in the way. The best recruiters know how to fill on the run - and when that ability’s stripped away, so is their edge. ⭐ Are we really improving hiring… or just making it slower and less effective? ⭐ What happens to a recruiter’s edge when process replaces instinct? ⭐ Who actually benefits from all this red tape - because it’s not the client or the candidate. So how do we work around this to provide an amazing service and unlock the full potential of our recruiters? My guest on this show is Jim Turner, Owner and Director of Jobsworth Ltd. Jim entered the world of recruitment in 1996 and he’s still here — leading from the front and growing a successful business. He’s spent his entire career in blue-collar recruitment and isn’t shy about calling out what’s going wrong (and right) in the industry. That’s exactly why I wanted him on the show — because we’re Uncensored by name and by nature. We will cover: 💡 Why ‘filling on the run’ still beats waiting around for HR sign-off 💡 When agencies forget how to actually fill jobs fast 💡 Whether PSLs and HR are basically shooting themselves in the foot. If you want to beat the red tape and win the blue collar battle, then this is the show for you! I look forward to having you there.
