Join us for a fascinating chat with Trigsy as we unravel the truth behind the recruiting industry – the victories, pitfalls, and everything in-between. We promise you an insightful journey that uncovers the trials of being a recruiter in a rapidly changing industry. Gain a unique perspective on how the recruitment model impacts professionals and why some recruiters lean toward contingent work, despite the rise of retainers. 

We dive headfirst into some of the industry's most pressing issues, including the struggle between contingent and retained recruitment models, the art of valuing oneself as a recruiter, and the importance of a well-structured salary model. We also spotlight Trigsy's experience working for Bruce Davidson at Davidson recruitment, and his advice for recruiters on how to pitch successfully. But that's not all. We also put the spotlight on the often-overlooked responsibilities of account managers, the intricacies of hiring beginner recruiters, and the art of managing clients with unrealistic expectations.

Finally, don't miss out on our discussion around some of the most controversial topics in recruitment. We tackle questions like why successful agency recruiters are moving to in-house roles, the perception of recruitment as a stepping stone to being an HR generalist, and much more. Plus, we'll share effective networking methods for success; from joining clubs like the Brisbane Club to mastering public speaking at Toastmasters. Tune in to this action-packed episode and equip yourself with knowledge and insights that will transform the way you think about the recruitment industry.
