In this Trending Topics episode, Sam and Lex talk DATA. But before you make any assumptions about how much of a bore this episode must be, listen to this: According to a recent survey, 72% of recruiters don't know their conversion ratios. Which means that 2/3 of recruiters are missing out on critical data insights that could help them be more effective.In this conversation, we spend time talking about the fact that even when things are working, it's good to understand why they're working — so you can double-down on winning behaviors and keep improving with every day. We'll get into why performance metrics are more powerful than volume metrics, the role technology plays in recruitment data, and the importance of data integrity.

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.Chapters:00:00 - Intro: Exploring RPO solutions and mindset shifts in recruitment02:27 - Why 80% of recruiters' time goes to waste04:46 - Uncovering recruitment's biggest challenge: The story behind it08:02 - RPO explained: A new way to approach recruitment11:03 - Benefits of adopting RPO: A win-win for recruiters14:55 - Getting started with RPO: A guide for recruiters18:36 - What segmentation reveals about your recruitment clients21:06 - Creating an MVP for recruitment services: The essentials27:36 - Validating your strategy with market feedback33:07 - Practical business development tips for recruiters36:02 - How recruiters can navigate and embrace change40:57 - Pricing strategies for recruitment services44:54 - The technology every recruiter should be using47:45 - Expert tips to elevate your recruitment business49:50 - Podcast farewell: Final words from Paul SharpeExplore all our episodes and catch the full video experience at loxo.co/podcastBecoming a Hiring Machine is brought to you by Loxo.

In this Tactical Tuesday episode, Sam focuses on a topic we're surprised more people aren't talking about: the importance of utilizing LinkedIn InMails effectively.Aside from our belief that every recruiter should be employing a multi-channel outreach strategy (not relying wholly on LinkedIn), there's also the fact that InMails are expensive...especially when they're not being used effectively.Sam encourages recruiters to invest time in crafting personalized messages to maximize the return on their InMail credits, highlighting the unique feature of receiving credits back for responses.

This conversation highlights Uber's framework for measuring Quality of Hire — emphasizing the importance of developing success profiles, redesigning the hiring process, and validating hires through post-hire surveys.

In this Tactical Tuesday episode, Vivien invalidates everything we've ever preached on this podcast before. Just kidding! But at first, you may hear these thoughts on sending multiple messages and following up with candidates and think, "Wait a second...don't they always say to send LESS emails? 'Quality over quantity,' and all that?" And you'd be correct! In this conversation, though, we talk about when following up (AKA sending multiple messages to the same candidate) does make sense — and how to find that balance between quality and quantity in your recruitment outreach.At the end of the day, there's so much nuance to communication — and this conversation provides actionable insights for recruiters looking to improve their outreach efforts and connect with candidates more effectively.Chapters:00:00 - Podcast intro02:04 - The difference between effective and excessive outreach04:35 - How the type of follow-up impacts recruitment success07:36 - Choosing the best channels for effective follow-up08:57 - Providing real value to candidates in your outreach13:18 - Podcast wrap-up and farewell Explore all our episodes and catch the full video experience at loxo.co/podcastBecoming a Hiring Machine is brought to you by Loxo.

Email deliverability has become the talk of the town in the recruitment world lately — and not necessarily in a good way. It's extremely important for recruiters to have good email deliverability — not only because it's obviously better for your emails to get seen & opened, but because mistakes & misuse can lead to penalizations. The problem? Email regulations are ever-changing, and Google has cracked down even harder on spam this past year — which means you could be a spammer in Google's eyes without even knowing it. But have no fear! We've developed a quiz here at Loxo that helps you determine whether some of your practices may be seen as "spammy" by Google. Check it out, then dive into our Recruiter's Guide to Email Deliverability if you want to dig deeper!

You might notice something...different...about this episode. In Episode 134 we shared a few quick tips on email deliverability — and since then, we've published a jam-packed Recruiter's Guide to Email Deliverability. It's a big, meaty article that tells you pretty much everything you'd ever need to know about email deliverability. But for those who don't love reading and would rather listen to their content (like, say, podcast listeners), we wanted to get that information out into the world in an audio format. And being the mad scientist experimenters that we are, we also wanted to take this opportunity to test out a new AI feature we've been hearing a lot about. All that to say: listen with an open mind and then give us your thoughts and feedback. Or read the linked guide, which was written entirely (and paintstakingly) by humans — we promise.Chapters:00:00 - Intro: A human welcomes you to an AI-enhanced podcast01:50 - Can AI teach us better?
