What really makes a successful recruiter? In this episode of the #MARShow, Mike is joined by Lysha Holmes to explore the characteristics, attitudes and skills that separate great recruiters from the rest.

How to Turn Client Conversations into Business Growth (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I'll tell you a mistake many recruiters often make. That can be extremely costly. But is easily avoided (for free). Some believe the outcome is much more important than the way it is achieved.

I watched Neil Carberry OBE CEO of the REC, present at the Rec Expo this year and I was blown away by his optimism for the industry. This wasn't a sort of blind optimism somebody in his position might exude but rather it was based on data and facts. So, we've invited him to be a guest on the next hashtag # MARShow to dig deeper. Neil has talked to thousands o
How to get Hold of Vacancies Before your Competition (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There's no consolation prize in recruitment. The best way to win is to get hold of vacancies well before your competition. This is how you do that. If you live in the contingent recruitment world this is crucial but even if you only work retained roles the early bird gets the worm. That's what this edition of the #MARShow is going discuss with Luke Willcock, an expert at using AI to steal a lead over the competition. Together we'll be exploring: - ✅ Why most recruiters don't lose deals, they arr
