idibu

Ricky was winner of the Apprentice in 2012, which led on to the formation of Hyper Recruitment Solutions – of which he is founder and MD. He’s been a client of idibu for the last 6 years and is the current Chair of the REC’s Life Sciences Committee.

His story to date has been fascinating – of course, very much in the public eye – with a history in the strange world of Wrestling, and more recently the hard path of building up your own business over an extended period of time.

We talk about:

* Moving onwards and beyond The Apprentice

* The broader purpose of recruitment – a passion of Ricky’s, and how he believes HRS supports it

* Negative perceptions of recruitment – why it exists and how it can be changed

* Personal habits, staying positive and lessons learnt from Wrestling

This is the first podcast episode I’ve done with Felix Wetzel – a friend, fellow recruitment software bod – and someone with an amazing track record of marketing expertise in the industry.

He’s directed the marketing strategies of brands such as Jobsite and Jobrapido – he advises multiple companies including idibu – and he has a brain with great insights into trends, markets and people.

We unapologetically stray off recruitment industry chat in this episode, and if I can persuade him to give me the time for a second session I have no doubt we’ll do the same again.

Felix and I talk about:

* The genesis of idibu the business – how idibu came in to being

* Identity perception after extended time living outside of your native land

* A bit of Trump and Brexit ranting (sorry)

* Various other rants and subjects

Greg and I talk about the future of recruitment, the necessity of change, the skills technology can replace, staying productive, and personal insights. Part 3 of this 5 part podcast (part 2 can be found here) focusses on the skills that technology can replace, asking Greg questions such as:

* Business insights.. What methods have created the most success in the past?

* With so many modern methods of marketing, are there any old industry habits you think have been lost that you’d like to see return?

* Are there fundamental skills in candidate engagement that can’t be replaced with tech?

* How can tech ‘grease the cogs’ and help consultants be more productive and relate to people?

* What success have you seen with advances in tech that have helped consultants do their jobs? What things were you sure would take off that never did?

* What’s the worst advice you hear being given out to people?

Greg and I talk about the future of recruitment, the necessity of change, the skills technology can replace, staying productive, and personal insights. Part 2 of this 5 part podcast (part 1 can be found here) focusses on the power and necessity of change, asking Greg questions such as:

* People attend events on candidate engagement, yet do not implement the recommendations afterwards. Why do you think this is?

* For the industry to embrace candidate engagement, is a large Enron-type event needed, or will we simply see incremental market-share takeover from the smaller, more dynamic companies?

* What advice would you give to people new to social media marketing?

* How do you personally help agencies understand the immediate benefits of a new candidate engagement strategy?
