In today’s competitive job market, making your mark can feel like a challenge, but Charley knows exactly what it takes to stand out. Here’s her top advice:   🔍 Clarity is Key: A clear and concise CV can set you apart instantly. Know what you want in your next role, and highlight it! Be specific about what you enjoy in your work and what you’re eager to build on.   🎯 Have a Plan: Candidates who stand out have a vision. Whether your next role is a stepping stone or a leap towards your 5-10-year goals, knowing where you’ve been and where you’re going is crucial.   💬 Communication Matters: How you explain your career moves is just as important. Charley looks for clear motivations—whether you’ve hit a ceiling, wrapped up a major project, or are ready for new challenges, make sure your reasons are thoughtful and well-articulated.   #MeetTheTeam #JobSearchSuccess #CareerAdvice #StandOut

Interestingly, the response to cold calls can vary widely by country and industry sector, making it puzzling why some are more polite than others. So, why not choose kindness? Business development is tough, and it’s often met with unnecessary rudeness. Remember that the person on the other end is just doing their job, much like the people who help generate business for your own company, which pays your salary. A little respect goes a long way—because in the end, there is always karma. How can we change the perception of business development calls? #coldcalling #businessdevelopment #growth

Recruitment is hard work, and we bet you have better things to be doing than conducting endless interviews. At Big Red, we believe precision in the recruitment process is essential to finding the right fit. Our interview-to-hire ratios across multiple industries are something were very proud of, and our clients love too. 🏗️ Construction: With a 2:1 interview-to-hire ratio, we’ve consistently delivered top talent since 2006. Field Engineers or Project Managers, only the best candidates are put forward. 🚧 Nationwide Supplier: We streamlined the hiring process, presenting 3 pre-interviewed candidates per role. This approach resulted in 11 critical hires in just 5 days. 🚗 Automotive: We’ve maintained 3:1 interview-to-hire ratio, across 40 roles in the last 5 years. Our clients certainly are not spending time sifting through irrelevant CVs and sitting through interviews that are a poor fit. 🛒 Supermarket: In our decade-long partnership with a major supermarket chain we maintain a consistent and impressive 2:1 interview-to-hire ratio, aligning talent with their strategic goals.

⏳ Is your CV review process blocking you from finding top talent? ⏳ In a fast-paced job market, timing is everything. Sam explained the need for speed and decisiveness in the hiring process: "Clients need to be aware of how quickly candidates come and go. Good candidates have options. If you take a week to review a CV, that candidate might already be in final stage interviews with someone else. It’s crucial to be swift and decisive in your recruitment process to avoid losing out on top talent." He recommends setting a specific timeframe for reviewing CVs and making decisions, which benefits all parties involved. "By scheduling CV reviews together and deciding who to interview promptly, businesses can streamline their hiring process, ensuring they secure the best candidates before their heads are turned by other opportunities." With huge skill gaps in the market and clients seeking candidates with a near-perfect match to job descriptions, efficiency and decisive action is key to making a successful hire. #BigRed #HiringProcess #JobMarket
