How Staffing Firms Can Survive the Future of Recruitment

How Staffing Firms Can Survive the Future of Recruitment A few months ago I met a prospective client who is the recruitment manager for a major international consumer goods company. Naturally talk turned, as I’d hoped, to how, when and who they used as third-party recruitment agents? The answer did not make me feel well. In short the use of agents had over the last two years fallen off the end of a cliff. Not because of a downturn in company fortunes (far from it they’re going great guns) but because of a strategy to employ a skilled in-house recruitment team and furnish them with the right new media tools and recruitment software. The net result of all three of these steps (a triumvirate of in-house team, new media tools, and recruitment software) was that the need to rely upon an external recruiter to provide talent had simply faded away. More and more often I am hearing, reading and seeing similar storylines develop amongst the kinds of companies that I would ordinarily view as prospective clients. Luckily to date I’ve not had any of my current client base take me to one side and whisper apologetically: “Look Rob, it’s not you, it’s us … we’ve moved on and, well, the thing is … we think you should too”. But the day may well come and if it does it won’t surprise me. So what’s a third-party recruiter to do? Here’s a survival guide and field notes for those that want to carry on succeeding at being recruiters: Specialise: Choose a niche that you can call your own and be the go-to-guy/girl when an employer needs this specialist ingredient. The trick here is to be specialist enough so that your industry knowledge is valued and hard to replicate but not so specialist that the chances to actually do some work are few and far between. Diversify: Sounds counterintuitive given what I have written above but maybe you should look at offering other types of services or seeking supplementary income streams? Can you provide training services to other recruiters for instance? Or make some money from blogging or presenting? How about CV rewriting for one-fees? Just some quick suggestions to give you a picture of what else you could do. Get your thinking cap on. SMEs: In my experience often recruiters will gravitate towards the bigger fish in the pond â€" more vacancies, higher salaries, slicker processes, kudos etc. However, it’s these larger companies that have moved towards doing it for themselves as tools and strategies have got better. Why not turn your attention to the SMEs? You’ll need more of them as they won’t recruit often but they are more likely to buy-in a recruitment service as and when they need it rather than carry an in-situ team through lean times and good. Join a Big Un: On this point I’m taking a bit of a punt but I think that in general that big companies like dealing with big companies and will continue to do so ad infinitum. So although some hiring companies will take recruitment in-house others will seek to outsource lock, stock and barrel in an RPO deal and focus instead on their core business. If you can’t beat them, join them: If you’re a good recruiter and you know your market why not join your client’s payroll as a member of their recruitment team? For some this transition will be fairly easy, others less so. Reading my blog back I’m a bit concerned that I might be appearing to be sound the death knell of the third-party recruitment industry. Let’s be clear â€" I’m not. The industry continues to do well (particularly I hear in sectors where skills shortages create a fertile market for recruiters; e.g. engineering, scientific) and as the economy recovers I’m sure agents will thrive as job markets bounce back. The caveat is that more than ever clients will be asking for demonstrable value and not just CVs raked off job boards or search maps copied from Linkedin. I welcome such developments as ultimately I expect greater competition and more empowered clients will lead to improvements in the industry, a raising of the bar and a filtration of the less (ahem) desirable practitioners. Anyone who hasn’t noticed the big changes that have taken place so far within hiring companies and the quickening development of internet, mobile and software tools that enable these companies to do it for themselves are failing to identify the Os Ts in their most recent SWOT analysis. Good luck with that. Related: What Makes a Good Recruitment Trainer?

4 construction jobs that need more women

4 construction jobs that need more women More and more women are choosing a career in construction, and it’s truly great to see. Despite being male dominated for so long (and let’s not beat around the bush, the industry is still predominantly male), construction offers women a somewhat unconventional, but frequently empowering and exciting workplace. Benefits can include great pay, the opportunity to travel (as building practices around the world don’t differ hugely), as well as genuine career progression through the various roles and sectors within the industry. Even as the ratio of men to women continues to equalise, there are still plenty of jobs that need more women in them â€" we’ve listed some below. 1. Dangerous Goods Storage This is a niche within the construction industry and is a great one to specialise in. Developing your expertise in flammable gas storage or flammable liquid storage can provide you with versatile career options. Not only are there the aspects of physical storage itself, there are aspects of chemistry and science that come with knowing the characteristics of the fuels you are storing. This sort of work is varied (no getting stuck behind a desk here), and can provide great pay. 2. Project management If you perhaps do enjoy a bit of office work but also like to get out and about on site, project management could be a perfect fit. A construction project manager will set up and oversee the project â€" everything from liaising with architects, staff and other specialists, to actually choosing what methods of construction will be most appropriate. This sort of role can really provide you with the best of both worlds, and provide a break from the heavily physical nature of working on site full-time. 3. Contract Administrator This is another role that will see your time split between the office and site. A construction contract administrator is basically responsible for all the admin that comes with a construction project â€" and there’s a lot of it. You could do anything from preparing and inviting tenders to advising on appropriate business structures, from inspecting work on site to providing insurance advice. A contract administrator will be well placed to progress through the corporate structure of a construction company â€" so if that’s something you’re interested in, this could be the role for you. 4. Foreperson For the more outdoorsy type who still likes being in charge, a foreperson role could be perfect. As a foreperson you are responsible for the oversight and management of construction crews on site. This involves ensuring the crews start and finish on time, onsite health and safety, and meeting with additional project staff to tackle any challenges pertaining to the construction. Forepeople generally enjoy a good work-life balance as they are (mostly) able to keep the same hours as construction crews and avoid the long nights that can arise in jobs with an admin focus. So there you have it â€" these are just four construction jobs out of hundreds that could be chosen. But already you can start to see the depth and variation that a career in construction could potentially offer.

Understanding Criminal Defense Strategies

Understanding Criminal Defense Strategies The process starts from the time, the defendant enters in the defense attorney’s office. His version of events will fall in either of 3 broad categories. One may be the admission of guilt. In this case, the primary criminal defense strategies will shift immediately to making his crime a lite version or trying to portray circumstances that made him do what he did. Another version from the defendant may be the complete denial of the events. However, in this case, the defense lawyer would only give proper attention to the complete denial if he finds the story credible or he finds alibis or witnesses available to buttress the claim of the accused. After all, the case has to be built up from a solid foundation and no lawyer would want to jeopardize his career on a case whose foundation is flimsy. The third version can be the literal admission of crime but with a rider “why I committed the crime “. The defense attorney will then decide on criminal defense strategies and how much to empathize with the logic of the accused. Accused tells his story, next what? After the story is out from the accused, the defense strategy will start to take shape. The strategy will be based on the following options. First Plan If the crime has been committed by the accused beyond doubt, the lawyer would plan not to absolve the accused of the crime but to present another side of events in the run-up to the act, which turns it in favor of the accused. He will try to show that the heinous act was committed either Under Duress or Immediate danger Necessity Purely an act of Self-defense or defense of others. The above defense builds up on one common logic.   The act had to be committed; else the accuser would have been in grave life-threatening trouble. Another two factors which may be tried by the defense counsel to show save the accused are to show the defendant as: Under Involuntary Intoxication at the hour of crime Plea of Insanity at the time of the crime As usual, these reasons have to be proved by alibis, witness’s accounts, reasons, breadth analyzer tests, doctors, and psychiatrists. Second Strategy Now if the strategy will be to deny that the accuser was present at all during the crime. For this, the actual story will have to be twisted. For example, if the prosecution states that the vehicle of the accused was used for crime, the defense will counter it by stating the vehicle was taken away forcibly from the accused that very morning at gunpoint. Third Strategy Another strategy can be paint brushing the act of the accused in a completely holy light. This strategy will work when there is an iota of doubt on whether the crime had been actually committed by the accused. If the prosecution states that the accused was definitely present at the crime spot at the time of crime and had strong motivation or circumstance for committing the crime (but just stays clear of accusing the defendant for the crime and tries to rely more on circumstantial evidence), the defense counsel will present the opposite picture. Yes, the defendant was present at the crime spot but he was actually trying to revive the victim when the police arrived. Obviously, this will set everybody wondering what really had transpired and who is right. Different factors considered while building the defense strategy After hearing out the story from the accused, the defense lawyer takes many factors into account while trying to build up the case. Just as the prosecution becomes hell-bent on proving that the accuser is of a criminal bent of mind and had every reason to commit the crime, the defense will try to prove the opposite. The defense attorney will dig out the past arguments and strategies of the prosecutor to understand how he will proceed with the case. As the trial commences and witnesses come to light, the defense will rigorously cross-examine the witness of the prosecutor. He will try to prove that the witness’s method of identifying the accused was incorrect. In fact, the defense will try to bring an alibi who will state the opposite of what the prosecution witness has stated. As the law enforcement officers associated with the case appears in the dock, the defense counsel also closes in. The defense team will try to prove that the police had indulged in misconduct for framing the accused. The defense lawyer will accuse the law officer of tutoring witness, implanting and doctoring evidence.    Defense may also accuse police of extracting evidence by physical torture. If the evidence becomes inadmissible due to wrong methods of extraction, half the base on which the prosecution will build the case, goes for a toss. One important point of defense strategy used by the drug defense lawyer in defending his client is “False Accusation”. Some of the crimes do not need immediate physical evidence to be accepted as the crime or to arrest the person.   However, the defense counsel may later use this by saying that the clause had been wrongly used. There is/was no evidence at any stage of the trial against the accused and the clause was simply used knowingly to malign the defendant. Needless to say, the watertight case of prosecution suffers a leakage. Other methods used The defense lawyers will often conduct mock cross-examination and interviews to make him acquainted and memorize the defense theory. Recreate the crime scene to stimulate the crime accused memory so not as to miss any tiny details. Hear the version of events from the horse’s mouth (the accused) to see his point of view. This will help in later defending “why “the crime was committed”. This is a game of one-upmanship, where defense and prosecution both create logic, events, and reasons out of thin air with the sole aim of convicting or freeing the accused. The magic lies in making these arguments “beyond a doubt”. And for that, careful defense strategy has to be created by the defense lawyers. Better the strategy, better will it stand up to the rigorous inspection by the court.

Why Now is a Great Time to Start a Business and How To Start - Classy Career Girl

Why Now is a Great Time to Start a Business and How To Start Now is a great time to start a business! Today, I want to cover why it is a great time to start a business and then how to actually do it.   There are two big trends happening right now: 1)You can have a global impact. I live in San Diego and my first sale came from a woman in The United Kingdom. I have women from all over the world on my lives and in my membership sites. I’ve raised thousands of dollars with women around the world to build a classroom for kids in Kenya. The amount of impact we can make together helping others around the world is limitless. Can you imagine if we are all using our strengths and passions, are happy and fulfilled and doing what we love? Do you even know the impact we can make together? I’m excited just thinking about it. 2) Women want the freedom to do what they love, and to work when they want. It’s all about freedom to spend time with the people we love and freedom to do the things we are passionate about. Now more than ever for women it’s possible. I was supposed to back to maternity leave after 6 weeks. My daughter still couldn’t eat at 6 weeks. She had a tongue tie and I was pumping every hour and barely hanging on by a thread at 6 weeks. There is no way I was ready to go back to my cubicle life. I called HR and told them I wasn’t coming back and was going to grow my business instead. I needed the flexibility to be a mom. I needed the flexibility to feed my daughter. I needed the freedom to work during nap time and not worry about calls from my boss and client while I was changing a diaper or if I didn’t show up to a meeting on time. There are more important things. I designed my business this way. From the very beginning, I knew park days with my kids was my vision. I struggled for many years to get pregnant, including having three miscarriages, my babies are everything now because they are miracles and they are my absolute priorities. I knew from that positive pregnancy test that I was forever changed and I needed to design a business around spending as much time as I could with my babies. When my pregnancies came and went and didn’t end up lasting, it pushed me harder and harder to make my dream business happen so that someday, somehow, however, I would become a mom, I would be able to spend every minute with my future family. Life is precious. Family matters. Every single minute with my kids matter because it all goes way too darn fast and it can be gone in a second. ?? I love you Mila and Sienna. I’ve also worked from around the world on my business. I’ve worked from New Zealand and Australia and was flown to Brazil for my first international speaking event. We can work from anywhere with our phones and laptops. It is possible. Millions of people are doing it, so stop thinking you can’t do it too. If I can do it, you can do it. There is nothing about me that makes me better or more special than you. Remember, I was the shy girl who prayed the teachers would never call on me and had no idea that I was good at writing, speaking, or reading. I was not the smart one that was supposed to be a success. But here I am. Three Tips to Get Started On Your Own Business Today So for those of you that can’t handle not knowing what you need to do first. Here are three tips to get you started. Do market research:  You absolutely need to figure out the problem you are solving and that means getting inside of the minds of your customers. You must know what they are thinking and actually think their thoughts, even before they do. You should identify their challenges, fears, goals, struggles, and dreams. Do a survey or interview your ideal clients. You’ll learn so much and this is so important. If you had to make $100 tomorrow, what would you sell? It’s all about the action here, so we can’t think or debate too long on the first step. What you start with probably won’t be where you end up and it’s important to get the cash flowing in and to start testing the market. What works and what doesn’t? You’ll never know if you don’t put an offer out there. It won’t be perfect. It might not even be created yet. But if someone is willing to put money down on something, you’ll get into action and make it happen now, won’t you? Offer free sessions. I’m always being asked how to start. Start with helping someone you know. Who needs your service or product right now? Start helping them for free. I know free gets a bad rap but I wholeheartedly believe in it for a few reasons. First, because it helps you get your systems and process together. You may not be perfect when you just start, so it helps you figure out what you really need to do and know. Second, it builds your testimonials and social proof. When people are ready to buy from you, they have to know like and trust you. They have to know that your service or product actually works, so they will want to see that you have done this before for other customers and that you have other happy customers. This is why testimonials from others are so important. So, in the beginning, offer your service for free to people you need your help in exchange for a testimonial. That’s a win-win if you ask me! How I Started My Business at Classy Career Girl I produced blog content consistently. I answered questions. There wasn’t a week that went by that I didn’t have a post up. I wrote about what I was excited to write about. It could be getting out of debt or the Insanity workout challenge or how I felt about my miscarriages. Often it was tips and articles about my day job. How to handle work trips. How to nail an interview. Mistakes you are making on your resume. I would do this on the top of my day job and sometimes if I was lucky I could get out a few posts per week. I engaged with others on social media. I used whatever social media platform was popular at the time. It’s always changing. When I started in 2011, Twitter was popular. Eventually, I also added Facebook and Pinterest, and Instagram. I think my ability to learn new things really helped. I just dive in and start doing it. I will figure it out. Don’t count on someone else to do it for you. I’ve had interns who do my social media, but engagement is always best when I do it myself. I know my brand and my vision for CCG better than anyone. Eventually, I created my first online course. There were four people who joined that first course called The Get Unstuck Bootcamp. From there two people upgraded to individual coaching with me. I sent out an email for the course and the signup link was buried in my email. I’ll never forget sending the email and going to my day job. I got the first sale while I was in my cubicle. I wanted to jump up and down when that Paypal order came through. The bad part was that the course wasn’t created yet so I had to get my butt moving to make that course happen! I started an email list. I’ll never forget the feeling of that first person subscribing for my 30 Day Networking Challenge Guide. It was a topic I had written about and lots of people enjoyed it so I started on MailChimp and just started growing my email list. If you are waiting for the right time to start your business, you may be waiting forever. Now is the right time to start! You can do it! If you have any questions, shoot me a message on Instagram, I love answering questions and chatting with you all.

How to Successfully Work with External Recruiters to Advance your Job Search - CareerMetis.com

How to Successfully Work with External Recruiters to Advance your Job Search Creating professional relationships with external recruiters can significantly advance your job search and career. Knowing proper etiquette when dealing with recruiters In today’s job market When you do speak with the recruiter, do not treat the conversation as a “transaction.” You don’t want to be treated like that and neither do recruiters.However, if you get the feeling the recruiter is treating the engagement as a transaction Once identified, the good recruiters are those you want to align yourself, be connected on LinkedIn, and develop a line of communication. Recruiters can provide valuable information on a host of industry trends and career topics that can help direct your career path beyond actually placing you in a position.5. Make relevant referralsRefer talented colleagues to recruiters. The key here is to make your referrals relevant. Only refer colleagues that match the specialty of the recruiter.Referring people that are not within a recruiter’s specialty is a nnoying to the recruiter and could result in the recruiter not responding to your referral’s outreach. This is simply the recruiter protecting his or her time and could reflect poorly on you when your referral tells you the recruiter did not respond.If you truly want to ingratiate yourself to a recruiter, refer a potential client-company. You will be forever remembered by the recruiter if you refer the recruiter to a potential new client When contacted by a recruiter, it is bad form and unprofessional to ask the recruiter “who is the company?” This is especially true if you do not have a previously established relationship with the recruiter. Moreover, recruiters resist putting the name of their client in writing Pay Equity LawsThere are a growing number of jurisdictions that prohibit employers and recruiters from asking about your compensation. If you live in one of these jurisdictions, you are granted the right not to disclose your compensation. All of these pay equity laws allow you to volunteer your compensation, if you choose.If you live in a jurisdiction that has a pay equity law, it is up to you whether you want to disclose your compensation to a recruiter. Most recruiters will still provide you with the general compensation range for the position they are looking to fill, even if you choose not to disclose your compensation. 3. Do not lieSounds simple but sadly some candidates do not tell or stretch the truth. Recruiters talk with a lot of people. This includes your colleagues, upper management, competitors, vendors, and so on. It is remarkable what recruiters learn that will reveal a lie or a stretch of the truth.When your misrepresentation is discovered by the recruiter, your candidacy is dramatically diminished. If the misrepresentation is severe, the recruiter may discontinue the engagement and not contact you in the future.4. Avoid asking for a meeting or a callAvoid asking for a meeting or a call from a recruiter (especially a recruiter yo u do not know) to discuss how the recruiter can help you. It’s permissible to offer your availability if the recruiter has an opening or would like to discuss your candidacy in more detail.However, asking that the recruiter call you can be viewed as poor etiquette. Recruiters do not work for candidates. They work on behalf of their client-companies.5. Do not decline or reject InMail messagesIf you are not interested in a position, either reply with a professional “not interested” or do not respond. Recruiters understand and are not offended if you remain silent or simply indicate that you are not interested. Avoid declining or rejecting an InMail message from a recruiter.When you do, it creates a record in LinkedIn that the recruiter can see. The recruiter may choose to not contact you for future opportunities. Someday when your circumstances change (and circumstances will always change), you may be thankful that a recruiter reaches out to you.Regardless of how secure you are in your current role, it only makes good career-sense to have a flow of opportunities coming to you regardless of whether you pursue them. 6. Never insult a recruiterNever make a derogatory remark, either directly or in a passive-aggressive manner to a recruiter. This could be done in conversation or in writing. Doing so is incredibly unprofessional and will result in the recruiter not contacting you in the future.In the event that a recruiter “has done you wrong” and the behavior is significant and can be traced directly to the recruiter and you need to distance yourself from the recruiter, take the highroad. Disconnect on LinkedIn, and professionally inform the recruiter that there are other candidates that would be better aligned to working with him or her.Wish the recruiter well in future endeavors. Then, take solace that unprofessional recruiters seldom survive very long when they conduct themselves inappropriately.By following proper recruiter etiquette, you will enhance y our relationships with recruiters, advance your job search, and potentially shape the future directions of your career.

Landing a Job in the Fashion Industry - Margaret Buj - Interview Coach

Landing a Job in the Fashion Industry Whether you’re looking for your first job or thinking of making a change, it can be tempting to stay within your chosen field of experience. But to truly keep your options open, you need to consider two things: all jobs come with a wealth of transferable skills, and a company’s industry does not always dictate its career opportunities. It’s important to remember that your experience can help you land a position in an industry you do not have a direct background in. The fashion industry employs over half a million people in the UK, and not all of them are cutting edge designers. Behind each clothing company is a team of marketing and PR professionals, web developers, distribution managers and many more people that help the brand operate smoothly from design room innovation to in-store sale. To gain a little more insight into the range of disciplines employed behind the scenes of a fashion retailer, we spoke with three members of staff at bonprix about their career paths, transferable skills and how they landed positions in the fashion industry. Our interviewees are Rosie â€" Offline Campaign Manager, Paul â€" Services Manager and Lydia â€" Project Manager. How did you land your current role and why did you pursue it? Rosie â€" I had four years’ experience working in a couple of marketing roles. I was lucky enough to get a taste of both B2C and B2B companies’ communications. Through that experience, I figured out exactly what my interests and strengths were and what type of environment I wanted to work in. This realisation led me to the role that I am in now and I couldn’t be happier. Paul â€" My first role as a graduate was in a marketing department where I was coordinating direct mail campaigns.   I was identified as someone who had a head for numbers so I was drafted into the analysis team and I’ve done this ever since. Lydia â€" I was given the opportunity to work on a bonprix website migration project which then  led to further opportunities focusing on specific project work. bonprix had a big project on the horizon which involved the migration of a warehouse and customer systems to the UK and I was asked to play the role as Business Change Manager on the project, which I accepted and thoroughly enjoyed. What kind of work experience did you undertake in the past? Rosie â€" Before gaining full-time marketing positions after university I was lucky enough to have had jobs from the age of 16: waitressing, bar work, retail, promotions and stewarding. Paul â€" From the age of 16 I worked in supermarkets and pubs, which gave me a good work ethic and customer focus. Lydia â€" My placement year at university was spent at a nursery and baby company, and by the time I left I was a product expert for their full range of pushchairs and car seats. My work experience allowed me to put into practice some of my learnings but most importantly prepared me for the real world when I completed my degree. What’s the best part of working for bonprix/in fashion? Rosie â€" The best part about working in fashion is that I have a personal interest in the industry. Being able to see how the business works and taking part in activities that all link to a subject that genuinely appeals to me is a real bonus and something that provides great job satisfaction. Paul â€" The team at bonprix are fantastic. As long as you are working with people you like, coming to work can be enjoyable. Lydia â€" It is exciting working for a brand with such great potential. It’s been great seeing bonprix grow in the UK and it’s so exciting to see what the future holds. What would you look for in a potential employee? Rosie â€" A potential employee needs to be passionate about the position, have a clear eagerness to learn and show enthusiasm. If they don’t have any direct experience in the industry then I look for transferable skills, two main ones being a good work ethic and being articulate. Paul â€" Somebody who I’m happy to spend 40 hours of my life each week with and somebody with the aptitude for the job they are going to be doing and a willingness to learn. Lydia â€" Experience is really important to me: what have they done previously and what can they bring to the role. I also think adaptability is a really positive thing to have in any team. Not being able to adapt to change can really hold you back in your career! If you could go back in time, what advice would you give your younger self? Rosie â€" I would try and think about tasks in a more strategic way, but my way of thinking has been developed over time and recognising the journey is a very rewarding exercise. I’d suggest to my younger self to not worry so much and enjoy the opportunities that come my way. Paul â€" Don’t get stressed about things.   Look at your boss â€" if they’re not worried, you don’t have to be. Lydia â€" I probably would have planned my time a bit better and started my university coursework a lot earlier in order to stop that last minute panic. Fail to plan, plan to fail! Fashion is, of course, just one of the many industries you can consider working in. Keep an eye out for positions in which you could use your experience in new and exciting fields, or look for those with strong transferable skills. Not all positions require direct, prior experience, but what they do require is someone passionate, adaptable and ready to make the most of every opportunity they’re given.
