    Tune in to hear:

  • Ep 66 - Struggling to Get Salary Information Out of a Candidate

    Putting a candidate forward without knowing their salary is like fishing without a lure. You just wouldn’t (and shouldn’t) do it.


    In today’s ep I look at four key strategies you can implement to get a candidate to reveal their salary to you. Because not knowing a candidate's salary could be the difference between making and not making a placement. 

    Listen here for an overview of these 4 steps:

    1.) Ensuring you're in a good rhythm of asking simple questions that lead up to the salary question

    2.) Give them all the reasons why you need to know their salary (it's in their best interest too)
    3.) How to utilise salary brackets
    4.) Low balling them so they instinctively correct you

    It’s so important that you never give up on finding out salary. Hopefully this ep will help you.

  • Ep 65 - November and December Can Be Your Biggest Billing Months

    There are eight weeks left until Christmas and you're probably starting to see your market shut down. This doesn't have to be the case!


    In this ep I want to give you some things that work for me at this time of year. I've been recruiting for 17 years now, and every time I look back at November and December, they are some of the biggest months I've ever had, six figure months, 100k - 150k months.

    Tune in to hear my tips for you to achieve similar results, such as:

    👉 Why it's the human psyche and not the market at this time of year that can be a challenge
    👉 How to persuade a candidate to shift their mindset so they don't close themselves off to current opportunities
    👉 Helpful ways to activate both clients and candidates
