Our next Inspire Recruitment event is on 26th September from 6-8.30pm. These informal and entertaining events will see a dozen interesting people, many just like yourself, taking to the stage to inspire you. Some talks will be flippant and amusing, others more intellectually challenging, we’d love to make you laugh out loud during one and ponder the universe with another. Everyone is welcome and you don’t have to be a “recruiter” to attend but all sessions will share a focus on recruiting and/or HR. The event starts with access to the bar for some networking time and then our 12 speakers will take to the stage each talking for just five minutes.

You can find out everything you want to know about the event,including how to book your tickets, here.

As a busy recruitment specialist, you probably spend lots of time on the phone to candidates ... If you have to do this for every candidate (and every job) this can end up taking over your day! SMS messages can dramatically speed up your communication with all candidates; saving you money, resources and most importantly – precious time.

"Passive candidates may sound like boring, inactive human sloths. This is a cunning disguise as they can have a huge impact on the success of your business."

"There are many websites which list the best companies to work for based on the candidate experience – Glassdoor probably being the most popular one. But just how is candidate experience measured? Is it a tick-box exercise or is it more in-depth than that?" The Undercover Recruiter consulted with their expert panel to find out how they think candidate experience should be measured.

"Because of limitations to the work experience and the hiring process, some candidates are getting left behind. We are focusing our efforts on the candidate experience when a growing percentage of job seekers can’t even apply for a job let alone receive a follow-up email or an automated response thanking them for their application."

"More and more recruiters and HR departments are starting to turn towards artificial intelligence to help remove ... irrelevant preferences. But if you haven’t added this kind of technology to your arsenal, it’s important to recognise when your opinion on a candidate is valid and is borderline silly!"
