Podcast appearances and mentions of dandan zhu

Dandan Zhu and Grace Marlin, co-founders of DG Recruitment, share tactical insights to help recruiters achieve top biller status in today's competitive landscape. Their rec-to-rec agency has given them unique visibility into what separates elite performers from the rest."To succeed in sales, you need to understand that everyone is extremely focused on their own needs," explains Dandan. "And hiring managers' primary need is that they suffer when it comes to hiring."This episode dives into three game-changing strategies: maintaining robust client pipelines beyond just a few accounts, making strategic relationship investments with measurable long-term ROI, and perfecting the MPC approach to immediately capture hiring managers' attention.With Dandan's background as a top-performing recruiter who achieved financial independence by 28 and Grace's 6.5 years helping launch and elevate recruitment careers, they offer a powerful perspective on building sustainable success in agency recruitment.Episode Outline and Highlights[01:28] How Dandan and Grace started working together.[04:00] Insights on what is currently happening in the recruitment space.[06:40] What do top billers do consistently?[15:06] The ROI of thinking big and going the extra mile.[20:37] The concept of the “Golden Loop.”[27:26] What an MPC strategy blueprint should look like.[33:30] The value of adapting to rapid changes in market and technology.[37:22] How to learn more from Dandan and Grace's online platforms.Top Billers Never Stop Building Client PipelinesWhile many recruiters became comfortable with just a few accounts during good times, Dandan Zhu observes these recruiters were "scrambling" when markets changed. To maintain a robust pipeline, top billers consistently build relationships through webinars, panels, and content creation.Dandan questions why more recruiters don't implement proven strategies: "Go out and set up a webinar for your network, for your niche. Go and set up a panel and invite your clients to be part of that as a BD tool." He notes that "all the playbook is there" but few recruiters convert theory into practice.Grace adds that success comes from "who is willing to go one to two steps deeper than everyone else" with investments that might take "six to eight months to really start getting there." These consistent efforts ensure you'll never be left claiming "nobody's paying fees" during downturns while competitors continue closing deals.The Long-Term ROI of Strategic Relationship InvestmentDG Recruitment hosts rooftop events and specialized gatherings like pottery painting sessions targeted to client demographics. Though measuring immediate return is challenging, Grace notes these investments create "much higher odds of placing candidates" and develop "closer relationships with more trust.""That year I met that person, two years later, that became a placement." Dandan explains their events were specifically designed for their target audience - "middle-aged women with kids in the Jersey pharma belt" for pottery painting, and New York recruiters for rooftop gatherings.These strategic relationship investments help recruiters stand out in an industry with reputation challenges. Grace observes it's "very easy to do better" than competitors by "just doing a couple things differently." While others focus on transactions, this approach builds a foundation of trust leading to higher placement odds, client loyalty, and valuable referrals.MPC Strategy: Skip the Intro and Sell Your TalentMost recruiters waste time on company introductions when contacting hiring managers. Dandan recommends a more effective approach: "Sell the NPC right away. Boom, boom." This direct method recognizes that hiring managers prioritize solving their problems over hearing about your firm.Hiring managers focus primarily on addressing their own challenges. A refined approach that immediately demonstrates candidate value shows respect for their time while positioning you as a solutions provider. Dandan emphasizes creating compelling candidate profiles with a confident, engaging tone instead of a nervous or disinterested delivery.In today's competitive landscape, the first few seconds determine client engagement. Leading with immediate value helps bypass typical screening filters, significantly increasing your chances of meaningful engagement and placement success.Related Podcast You Might EnjoyTRR #110 - Why Top Billers Don't Want to Join Your Recruitment AgencyDandan Zhu Bio and Contact InfoDandan Zhu launched her agency recruitment career at the age of 23, quickly excelling as a full-desk headhunter specializing in a technical niche and eventually executive search for the pharmaceutical and life sciences industry.

In this podcast, I go through the 13 chapters of my book & what it all entails! I wrote Agency Recruitment 101 with this mission in mind: spread the gospel of agency recruitment far and wide so that more people can understand this career, business, and profession more!

I recently had a terrible client call in which he (a recruitment owner) lambasted contingency search since "so many clients were not serious". Ironically, he was also one of those clients, which I revealed during the call. Whether you do contingent or retained, you should carefully vet out the seriousness and commitment of the client to fill to the role versus sending you on a wild goose chase. Even for retained, you want to avoid this situation bc our game isn't to collect part of the fee... It's to get the whole enchilada. And you're not going to get anything if your client is just shootin' their shot and going on a fishing expedition on your boat. Do not let these clients get outta control. In this podcast, I share the sound bites and word tracks to use to gauge their seriousness for you to get paid. For q's and comments, email dandan@dgrecruit.com

Whether you're a recruitment agency owner who wants to scale, or a recruiter looking to progress their career, you will benefit from listening to my informative and entertaining discussion with Dandan Zhu.  Dandan is the Founder and CEO of DG Recruit, established in 2018 to connect top-billers within agency recruitment with top recruitment firms. As such, she has a valuable perspective on what characteristics make both parties attractive to one another. In this interview, Dandan shared her thought process and interviewing techniques. By the way, she does not pull her punches - if you have a fragile ego, don't listen to this episode! Dandan started recruiting right out of college as a full-desk pharma headhunter with 3S Group, a top UK recruitment firm that was rapidly expanding in the US. She became a top rookie/top biller internationally and parlayed her success in technical and executive recruitment into aggressive savings strategies converted into largely real estate investments, retiring at age 28. After 2 years off, Dandan re-entered the recruitment scene by establishing DG Recruit in 2018, a recruitment firm that only services agency recruiters. Episode Outline and Highlights [3:08] Dandan's recruitment story and the secret to her rapid success. [9:42] Investing and retiring at an early age. [12:26] Based on her experience, what advice would Dandan give to recruiters? [17:50] What led Dandan to launch a recruitment-to-recruitment agency. [22:20] What to look for in a great recruiter: Dandan shares their parameters and how they ‘read between the lines'. [26:44] How do you assess whether someone has internal drive and motivation as a recruiter? We discussed the clues and tell-tale signs. [38:47] What are the mistakes agencies make when attracting top recruiters?  [58:53] Why technology platforms are an absolute must to increase your chances in hiring the best people. [1:07:17] Dandan's investment portfolio and the mindset shift required for recruiters who want to get rich. Characteristics Dandan Looks For When Interviewing Recruiters   “Our candidate speaks for us, if the candidate is not performing well, is not driven… we don't want to do the deal.” That is how Dandan's summarized their guiding principle when it comes to identifying candidates for their clients. She laid out the following non-negotiable characteristics when looking for great placeable recruiters: Track Record For Juniors: Understanding Their Journey Socially Savvy Verbally Adept (Decent Communication Skills) Deep Drive For her, the biggest piece is getting to know if the candidate really understands what recruitment is. Dandan gives direct and hard hitting advice on how she assesses candidates.  Why Some Recruitment Agencies Will Never Attract Top Recruiters I asked Dandan about common mistakes that recruitment agencies make when it comes to recruiting recruiters. She was quite blunt in her appraisal of the industry and explained that most agency owners are unrealistic about the sort of person they're going to attract.  For example, if the owner isn't a big biller then in Dandan's view it's unlikely they'll attract big billers to join their team. In Dandan's words, why would a top biller join an environment where they're not going to learn and be challenged? She believes that if you're a small firm with only average billings, then you can forget about hiring experienced top-producers. Instead, you'll find more success by hiring recent graduates and training them from the ground up. She also described certain “must-haves” for recruitment agencies who want to hire the best recruiters. She believes most agencies just aren't very attractive and wouldn't qualify for representation by a rec-to-rec agency like DG recruit. Some critical must-haves are: excellent employee benefits (such as health insurance), and the ability to work remotely. She also emphasized the importance of having an excellent platform - in other words, you must provide people with all the right tools for them to be successful.  Our Sponsors This podcast is proudly sponsored by i-intro®.  i-intro® is an end-to-end retained recruitment platform.
