Recruitment is a rollercoaster - but it doesn't have to be! In this week's episode, we're pulling back the curtain on the hidden side of business development that most recruiters rarely consider. Katy and Jane reveal real-talk strategies to systemize and automate your agency's BD to end the feast-or-famine cycle for good.   “Change gives us a lesson. It can be enjoyable, but you need to get ready to change quickly.” - Katy Green    In this episode, you'll discover:

Business development is one of the most important parts of any business — your recruitment business included. However, it's also one part of the business that so many recruiters struggle with. That's because there are so many myths and misconceptions surrounding business development. Some believe that it takes so much effort that it takes time away from the usual daily routines. Some also think that it's something that suits specific personality types and doesn't really fit everybody's skill set. In this episode, Katy and Jane talk about how business development can be systematized in a way that's super simple, but highly effective. These tactics will allow you to make biz dev a regular part of your daily routine without making you feel overwhelmed and overburdened. The discussion includes ways to create new business development opportunities in regular parts of your workflow, actions that recruiters can do to make both clients and candidates see the added value you bring to the table, and scripts that can help make business development a more seamless process. “That's what BD is. It's about delivering more. It's not about something we're gonna get from them; it's actually about how we can serve them better.” - Katy Green In this episode, Katy and Jane talk about: How to build a simple but effective business development system Common myths and misconceptions about business development How to make business development a part of your daily routine How to grab business development opportunities from your candidates and clients The role of building strong relationships in business development Additional actions you can do to show how you're adding value to your role as a recruiter And so much more!   Connect with Jane Pettit:    LinkedIn   Connect with Katy and Nicky: Website Facebook YouTube

In this episode, Katy and Jane talk about their own experiences in getting recurring revenue and share a framework that has allowed them to thrive in the recruitment business year in, year out. Their own experiences have made them realize how critical it is to work with existing clients, knowing that they are 60-70% more likely to buy from you than a new client. They also talk about how critical regular service reviews are, and share a few do's and don'ts in the process of strengthening client relationships either through face-to-face meetings or through video calls. “We want to move our recruitment from being that transactional service to giving a much deeper level of service where we can really get the client to experience the magic that you perform for them.” - Katy Green   In this episode, Katy and Jane talk about: How getting consistent cashflow is a common challenge among recruiters Reasons why harnessing existing client relationships is critical to success A step-by-step framework for conducting effective service reviews that generates recurring revenue Different applications of service reviews and sample scripts that actually work The importance of reading between the lines in terms of what clients are truly comfortable with when you're doing service reviews The ‘Ultimate Service Call Structure' for strengthening client relationships Retreat objectives and why it is a critical part of your service review agenda And so much more!   Connect with Jane Pettit:    LinkedIn   Connect with Katy and Nicky: Website Facebook YouTube

Antonio Volante, CEO of the Volante Group, has been in recruitment for the past 24 years, with the last 11 years spent building his own recruitment business. He specializes in the public sector, mostly in mid to senior positions in finance and HR.  Considering the length of experience he has, Antonio had his own system. He had a single way of doing things — until he realized that his business wasn't growing.  Antonio was used to doing everything in the business. He was too much of a perfectionist and thought that he was the best person to do the job. Of course, perfectionism can be considered a strength because you get to set the standards on how you want the business to run. The problem is it can also get in the way of growth.  When Antonio finally realized that he needed to change something to make his business grow, he signed up for the Rockit program and finally saw the growth he was waiting to happen.   He realized that doing everything all at once made him lose his focus. He grabbed every single business opportunity that came his way and had a long list of things to be done. He had no time to focus on actually growing the business. But when he decided to let go of his old thinking, he started to shift his focus.   With a new team in tow, he started to focus on defining a specific target market. Then, he let go of some of his tasks and passed them on to the capable hands of his team. That became a game-changer for him, helping him realize that all he needed to do was to trust other people.  Now, Antonio is finally seeing the growth he always wanted. He has doubled the turnover after tripling his team size and is now earning more than he could have imagined.   Tune in to this episode to discover how knowing where to put your focus can help you grow your team, grow your business, and grow your income.     “As new business people, we're always thinking, it's important to have more. More is more. But actually sometimes, less is more.” - Antonio Volante    In this episode, Antonio talks about:  How he got started in the recruitment space The challenge of having to do everything yourself The problem with not having a specific focus in terms of target market How completing an activity inventory changed the way his business was run How he shifted his focus when he realized that the majority of his business was coming from one sector How hiring a resourcer and business development consultant made his business model more efficient The importance of learning to let go, especially of certain beliefs and processes that you've gotten used to The value of having a supportive community around you as you run your recruitment business How the Rockit program helped him come up with more effective strategies in growing his business And so much more!   Resource Mentioned:   Volante Group   Connect with Antonio Volante:  LinkedIn   Connect with Katy and Nicky:  Website Facebook YouTube

Marcus Nanson has been in the recruitment industry for over a decade. He founded NRG Resourcing, a recruitment agency that focuses on mortgage brokers.   Having previously worked in the finance industry, a lot of the things he's been applying to his business are self-taught. In fact, he still feels like a newbie who's trying to figure things out. Because of this, he has fallen into the trap of under-achieving.   For a long time, Marcus has convinced himself that he's okay with whatever money is coming in because he's not materialistic. He had his good months for sure; there were months when he earned 10k, which is just the average of what other agencies would earn effortlessly. But for him to have these good months, it was exhausting.  One day, Marcus realized he had completely lost his love for recruitment. There were months when there was only enough to cover expenses, which is not a good place to be in if you want a growing business.   That's when he discovered the Rockit program. He realized that he had no clear processes in place. He also treated everything as transactional and would only do the bare minimum to satisfy clients and candidates. He was wasting so much time doing tasks that he didn't enjoy and were not even income-generating.  So, he started tweaking the way he worked. Now, he's not only using his time well and getting higher fees from the right clients, but he has also managed to establish amazing relationships with every person he worked with – team members, clients, and especially the candidates.   Tune in to this episode to discover how Marcus transformed the way he approached his business and the way he dealt with people to achieve amazing growth.     “Anyone can recruit. Anybody can do the three basic technical things that we do. But not everyone can add so much value that people come to you every time.” - Marcus Nanson    In this episode, Marcus talks about:  How he fell into the trap of under-achieving and how he decided to get out of it  The impact of shifting from treating everything as transactional to actually building relationships with the people he dealt with  The importance of being intentional about where time is spent  The value of knowing what you do best and shipping everything else to other people who do the extra jobs well  The impact of taking action now instead of waiting for conditions and circumstances to be better  The importance of adding value to each candidate's journey  The importance of sticking to clients who share the same values you have  And so much more!  Resource Mentioned:   NRG Resourcing   The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson   Connect with Marcus Nanson:  LinkedIn  Connect with Katy and Nicky:  Website Facebook YouTube

Paul and Ross have been in the recruitment business for 6 years. Their business, Movement8, specializes in tech recruitment with a focus on start-ups and scale-ups. Growth wasn't a problem for them even as COVID hit. But the pandemic brought about new challenges that left Paul and Ross wondering what they could change. Their budget became a problem. Despite their continued growth, the rising costs during and after the pandemic made their budget a problem. They knew they had to raise their rates, but how can they do that? They also struggled with their people. The employees they knew pre-COVID came back to the office more entitled, more demanding, but not as productive as before. Everybody changed, and it was definitely not good for the business. By then, Paul and Ross were getting frustrated. They were wondering, “We're better than this. So why can't we do it? What's it gonna take?” That's when they discovered the Rockit program. They realized that they needed to improve the quality of their people and their processes. They also realized that they were being reactive to situations. They started the business with just the two of them. But as the business grew, they didn't change their approach at all. Even as they added people to the team, they were still wearing too many hats. Rockit gave them the time they always needed to plan and strategize more effectively. All it took was committing to the program and trusting the process, even when they were itching to just do their jobs instead of going through the modules.  That's when change happened. They improved their effectivity and efficiency, ultimately boosting their productivity. They also started sticking to clients that are responsive, realistic, and reasonable, allowing them to charge higher fees.  And most importantly, they made the workplace a fun place to work. They equipped their team members with everything they needed to succeed. They realized that the 360 approach didn't really make sense for them, especially if they want to maximize the skills that each person in the team had.  Tune in to this episode to discover how stepping away from 360 recruitment allowed Paul and Ross grow their business the way they've always envisioned it to be.    “No one's really a 360 recruiter. They say they are, but you're only a 360 recruiter for the first two years of your recruitment life because then you're just farming your clients and expanding them, which is not really business development.” - Paul Winchester   In this episode, Paul and Ross talk about: How they got started in the tech recruitment space and the initial challenges they faced  The impact that the pandemic had on their budget and their people Their realization that they needed to change their approach to people and processes How the Rockit program gave them back their time and raised their revenue once they committed to the program How veering away from the 360 recruitment process gave them the growth they needed The changes they made in the way they do things that made the biggest impact The value in choosing the right clients How they split their team into three systems to improve productivity and efficiency How they changed the way they look for their own team members  Why it's important to be ready to constantly evolve and innovate as the business grows And so much more!

He started out as a headhunter in the banking and finance industry, working for an agency. Everyone did everything for the role – so when he eventually started his own recruitment business, he adopted the same mindset and thought he had to do everything himself. Starting his own recruitment business made sense, knowing that he has always loved the idea of starting businesses. In fact, that's the reason why he decided to focus on start-ups; he enjoyed working with them so much. However, he found himself hating some parts of the job. His business was growing, but he wasn't having fun. He had so much work to do that he was always working and had little time left for family and other personal stuff. That's when he realized he needed to make a change. He discovered Rockit, and in just 3 months, he shifted from being a solo entrepreneur to a 6-man team well on his way to turning his 30k-a-month business into a 150k agency by the end of this year. Jan's realizations were mindblowing. He loved the sales and marketing part of the job but struggled with all other aspects of recruitment. The problem is, he always had an issue hiring other people because of trust issues; he felt like others won't be able to do it as well as he does, a mindset left over from his old job.  But he went all in with the program and learned that there are other people who enjoyed the parts of recruitment that he hated doing – and they were very good at it, too! Now, he's doing less hours of work but getting better results, closing 7 to 9 retainers a week and actually having the confidence to turn down clients that just didn't match what their ideal clients looked like.  Tune in to this episode to discover how Jan learned how to give value to his own business and brought the immense growth that he had always dreamed of. “Trust that there's other people that are a lot better than you at a lot of stuff, and it's just more enjoyable for everybody.” - Jan-Lütje Thoden   In this episode, Jan talks about: His journey on how he got started in the recruitment business as a headhunter in banking and finance How he loved the sales and marketing part of the job but struggled with all other aspects of recruitment The turning point that prompted him to start looking for something that could help him grow his business further Struggling with trusting other people to handle tasks for him, making it difficult to hire his own team The value of stepping away from 360 roles and hiring specialists The new systems that he put in place that really made the biggest impact in growing his business How working less has helped him get more sales and get closer to his 150k goal The systems he adopted from Rockit that turned his business around and really brought in the numbers KPIs that he started to monitor to track specific issues that allowed him to come up with more practical strategies And so much more!   Resource Mentioned:  Start to Finish - http://www.starttofinish.de/    Connect with Jan-Lütje Thoden: LinkedIn   Connect with Katy and Nicky: Website Facebook YouTube

When you're growing your business, you notice that there are things within your business that are preventing growth. You find gaps between you and your goals and wonder what's missing. Eventually, you realize that you have to step out of your comfort zone and do something different to get that growth you want.  That's exactly what Lindsey Menezes experienced when she felt stuck in her business.  Lindsey is the Managing Director of Pace VIC and Pace NSW, a recruitment business focusing on logistics, supply chain, and procurement. She didn't have a recruitment background, so she jumped right into doing a 360 role the moment she entered the scene. After all, it's what everyone else was doing.   But Lindsey found herself facing rock bottom in the middle of the pandemic.
