EP212 | The evolution of the recruitment industry and how stay on top in a recession | Dave talks to Dee Dee Doke 🎧 https://open.spotify.com/episode/2inebra0e3DFarBdPw8STx?si=z8bnH6SGR_OSFMtLKa3zsA 📖 https://wave-rs.co.uk/blog/dave-talks-to-dee-dee-doke-talent-matters-podcast/ -- Recruiters need to build expertise. Instead of just recommending a couple of candidates, they need to demonstrate to clients that they understand the industry and that they’ve really got under the skin of the business. They need to become complete market and sector experts, advising and consulting on who their clients need and where to find them. They need to develop their own talent pools. It will get to the stage where organisations will look for the same kinds of qualities in recruiters as they do in other professional partners, for example accountants and lawyers. They will be asking, will this recruiter get to the bottom of what I require and deliver more than my immediate need? For that to happen, you need to be an absolute expert on the industry and area you’re recruiting in.
