- Justin Hillier In Q2 of this year in the UK the average Perm Consultant made 4 placements and the average Temp Consultant made 6 placements. (UK) When we looked at the consultants at the Top 5 agencies on Recruiter Insider for Candidate Experience, we discovered that:🚀 the average Perm Consultant there made 5 placements🚀 the average Temp Consultant made 10 placements. In Q2 alone, the agencies with the highest candidate experience scores made 1 extra Perm placement per consultant and an 4 extra temp placements per consultant. Highlighting as always the impact candidate experience has on your placement numbers. The data doesn’t lie, an improved candidate experience means more placements. But if you are not measuring this you can improve it either. So if you want to make more placements get in touch with me. The data doesn’t lie! 12 5 Comments

- Dal Pawar Navigating IR35 regulations is still a significant concern for many Quality Assurance/QP professionals in the contract job market.When I speak to limited company contractors affected by IR35, a few recurring issues emerge regarding their search for new opportunities.➡Lack of agency understanding about legislation and its implications on tax liabilities has caused many to reconsider contracting.➡ The client's ambiguity around determining IR35 status has caused uncertainty and stress.➡ The perceived loss of autonomy and control as a "highly skilled worker" over working conditions is a major deterrent.With these factors combined, it's no surprise that contractors are actively seeking more stable and favourable work arrangements.However, it's not all doom and gloom. Companies that can offer clear, IR35-compliant contracts, fair remuneration, and a supportive work environment can attract top talent despite the challenges posed by IR35.For contractors, working with specialised recruitment agencies and seeking roles that provide clarity on IR35 status can make a significant difference.At AssureBio, we are committed to helping contractors navigate these complex waters, ensuring they find roles that align with their professional goals while adhering to IR35 regulations.Let's work together to turn these challenges into opportunities for growth and innovation.dal@assure-bio.com 19

- Justin Hillier Data insights every agency Owner/Director/Consultant in UK should know.Measuring the candidate experience throughout the entire hiring process is crucial to making more placements. If all you are doing is measuring those at the placement stage you are making less placements than you should be.You don't have believe me, but you should believe the data, the data doesn't lie (not that I do but the data is irrefutable).The data attached clearly shows that when you provide an exceptional experience throughout the entire process (which is how this data is collected on Recruiter Insider) fill rates sky rocket!Additionally when your clients get it right your chances of filling the job are also significantly higher. Our clients use this data to educate and help their clients and the results are clear, it works!Both the consultant and the hiring manager play a key role in ensuring the desired outcome is achieved. There are no short cuts!If you want to make more placements book a demo with us - https://lnkd.in/gJK_cpHv 7

There is a lot of non exclusive arrangements happening in the data market at the moment.You have your work cut out for you if you are a hiring manager in this situation!A contract recruitment process on average should take from job brief to offer stage 2 weeks maximum. I have noticed this has increased with more CVs to review, interviews to complete and recruiters to deal with with when engaging more than one agency.If you a hiring manager and want to save your time, work exclusively with a one recruitment agent. #shortlist #longlist #exclusive #data #recruitment #Australia #NZ 16
- Seb Wright 📝 Lessons learned from last hot 🔥data skills demand periodOver the last 18 to 24 months where demand has cooled for Advanced Data roles – Have employers thought about what they can do with some of their most sought after roles when the candidate demand returns to white hot?Some may say due to the post Covid boom that we won't go back to such levels but where technology and skill shortages are a factor - demand is likely to resume in some form.Some potential points:➡️How can we help to retain more of our data talent➡️What can we do to improve our hiring ratio’s over our usual competitors➡️How can we make our Data story more compelling for future hires➡️Is the rest of our business now more able to encourage cross-training for Data related rolesHas the average employer with a medium size Data function likely to have considered any of the above or indeed any other points ❔#dataskills #retention #hiringGeorge McCrea, Mark Dexter, Katie Wray, Adrian Smith, Jeffrey Roberts 2 6 Comments
