In this episode, Paul Sharpe — a recruitment expert with over 20 years of experience — joins us to discuss some pressing issues in the recruitment industry, particularly the problem of recruiters working for free.
Paul introduces some harsh truths: 1) Recruiters are often working for free, filling only 20-30% of roles. And 2) the recruitment industry has been facing significant economic pressures as of late. Yikes, right?
But rest assured: it's not all doom & gloom. The entire conversation highlights the need for a mindset shift among recruiters to position themselves as trusted partners rather than mere service providers — and Paul makes a case for why a Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) model can be a good solution for recruiters to consider.
Paul provides a ton of wisdom, personal experience, and some tactical tips for recruiters who are looking to take their business to the next level — so regardless of where you are in your journey, this episode is certainly worth a listen.
