Recruitment is a tough business, and recruiters often have to navigate difficult situations. Recently, I spoke with a candidate who I introduced to a business six months ago. But then dropped a bombshell -She thanked me for my help in getting her the role which I never knew she had or accepted , the business had restructured and she was looking for new opportunities again. What shocked me even more was that the client had dodged the recruitment fee by asking my candidate not to contact me after being offered the role saying it was a contract and a fee wasn't applicable. I was completely in the dark and had no idea of this placement. As a veteran recruiter, I have never seen a client do this before. It's frustrating to see the hard work we put in go unrecognized, especially during these tough times. However, I believe in karma. The client may have dodged the fee, but it's only a matter of time before it catches up with them. From what I understand the business is under administration and we would now be dealing with the administrators 😧 So, what should I do? I could issue an invoice now, as we have terms signed. Or, I could name and shame the business with an online review . Recruiting is a tough industry, and we must navigate tricky situations with professionalism and grace. To my network here for your thoughts on this situation. #recruiterrant #recruitmentfees #inshock #recruiterrespect #haveyoursay #salesandITcareers #salesrecruitment

To all the working women in my network who are 'mums' and juggling two jobs . Hope you had a fabulous Mother's Day weekend celebrating you , YOU deserve it !! As a business owner and mum it's a constant challenge and here are a few things I have adopted and wanted to share . 1. Do you ever feel guilty? Don’t. You have nothing to feel guilty for. Working mums provide their children with an understanding of the world. Children who are raised by working mothers learn about how to interact with other people. Working mothers help their children understand the importance of a career, and they encourage them to work hard and pursue their dreams. 2. Even Super Woman had help. Don’t be afraid to ask for it. Make sure you build and maintain a support network. The old saying is true 'It takes a village to raise a child'. 3. Technology is your friend. Use it to improve efficiencies in your household. We use various planners to help us stay organised. I am old school and have a vision board and weekly planner that gets updated each week on our refrigerator accessible to all. This includes our meal plans for the week. You can also use online apps but I prefer visuals. 4. Set attainable goals for yourself and don’t be afraid to say “no.” Saying no to invites and things you know are going to disrupt your family routine is important. Setting healthy boundaries with family and friends is the only way you don't feel stretched. You are already managing two roles as a mum and the role you play in the office. Your mental health is everything. 5. Don’t forget to… Zzz. That’s right–sleep and eat healthy. This is the most important. Eating well, exercising and sleeping well is the only way you can play both roles. We excercise as a family on the weekends and plan very active weekends and eat mostly home cooked meals. We also try and maintain an active friend circle who also love staying active and have similar interest and goals. Here is an idea I executed for Mother's Day this year. We ran 5km to raise awareness for cancer research . My husbands company sponsored a prize and we were all ambassadors. Getting your kids involved in your world gives them so much purpose, get dressed , organise your weekends filled with purpose and have fun 🤩 . Not the best video but something to fuel your energy on a Monday. Hope this has helped you in some way. You got this ! Sometimes we all need to reflect , reset and have things reinforced. A lot of the points I have stated above is what we know already but sometimes forget and that is where we have 'CHAOS'. #workingmums #womeninsales #mothersdaywishes #tipsforwomen #salescareers #salesjobs #salesrecruitment #itrecruitment

Here's the truth: Skills can be learned, but the right attitude is what separates good salespeople from the GREAT ones! In your next outbound sales hire, look for these key attributes: ✍🏼 Tenacity & Resilience: They bounce back from rejection and keep pushing. ✍🏼 Hunger to Win: They have a relentless drive to succeed. ✍🏼 Sportsmanship: They celebrate wins (theirs & teammates') and learn from losses. ✍🏼 A "Can-Do" Attitude: They approach challenges with solutions, not excuses. Build high-performing sales teams that drive growth for your business.

“I think every working mom probably feels the same thing. You go through big chunks of time where you’re just thinking, ‘This is impossible—oh, this is impossible.’ And then you just keep going and keep going, and you sort of do the impossible.” -Tina Fey To all mums who make the impossible possible, whether at work or at home, Happy Mother’s Day! 🙌🏼👩👧 #mothersday #mums #smarttalentgroup
