As a manager in recruitment there will certainly be times when you have to deal with difficult situations and people. For example:

• Dealing with poor individual or team performance
• Managing unhappy client or candidate situations
• Handling peer to peer and team in-fighting
• Recruitment consultants not doing what they have promised you they would

Not many of us like facing conflict but dealing with these situations can really help us develop and grow as managers and leaders. Rather than brush the problem under the table, it’s best to deal with the situation as soon as possible.

Recruitment agencies facing £25k pensions setup hit

"The ‘substantial’ cost to recruitment agencies of pension auto-enrolment has been revealed by professional employment organisation Parasol. Research carried out by Parasol forecasts that agencies employing temporary workers on a PAYE basis could face an initial setup cost of at least £25,000, as they battle to get to grips with the legislation. This figure includes three months of senior internal resource, legal advice, director input, time spent engaging with clients, plus payroll software upgrades. Parasol arrived at the sum after consulting with agencies to find out the steps they intend to take in preparation for the legislation, though the exact cost will naturally vary for each agency. According to Parasol’s modelling, an agency with 800 workers who earn an average of £18,000 a year on PAYE can expect a total year-one cost of around £81,995 from the October 2013 staging date if 60% of workers opt out. If just 30% of agency workers decide to opt out, the projected cost – including initial setup – rises to £111,242. Meanwhile, Parasol estimates that compliance with the legislation will cost a smaller agency – with about 250 workers each earning £25,000 annually on PAYE – a total of £49,812 assuming an opt-out rate of 60%. The predicted cost to an agency of this size, over the first 12 months from the February 2014 staging date, would increase to £64,200 if 30% of workers opt out.
