“In a world where the web opens doors to a much wider audience, where a single message can reach hundreds of people, and where our online presence served as a reflection of our credibility, we needed to change our game.”
There’s a certain charm to the old-school recruiter's hustle, isn't there? The thrill of the chase, the buzz of the cold call, the artful dance of dodging gatekeepers to pitch your role to just the right candidate. That was us: headhunters in a head-to-head battle against time and competition, armed with nothing but our wits and a landline. It was an era where activity was measured in call volume and the art of the deal was done face to face. Social media was a tool for scouting profiles and, job adverts? They were a mere formality.
As we reminisce on those simpler times, we can't help but acknowledge how recruitment has transformed in the last decade. As a navigator through this transformation, I've witnessed a seismic shift from tactile engagements to digital encounters, from gut-led tactics to data-driven methodologies.
Embarking on a New Era
When we set out to create our own recruitment agency, it was clear we had to do something different. Our clients needed more than just a pitch – they needed to see social proof. Taking a leaf out of “Million Dollar Listing New York” where the fusion of marketing and sales showcased its immense power, we realised our shortfall. In a world where the web opens doors to a much wider audience, where a single message can reach hundreds of people, and where our online presence served as a reflection of our credibility, we needed to change our game.
Embracing Marketing
While my partners stuck to traditional methods, I rolled up my sleeves and dived headfirst into marketing. It wasn't a walk in the park, and there was some resistance, but we started seeing results. New clients started knocking on our door, our candidate network multiplied, and our reputation was soaring as our insights gained traction.
When the pandemic era reshaped every facet of traditional recruitment, our proactive marketing strategies proved resilient - propelling us forward when many stumbled.
Striking a Balance
The resurgence of the market post-pandemic brought new ambitions pulling me into a juggling act between maintaining marketing momentum and achieving individual sales goals. It became evident that while marketing benefited the entire agency, it didn’t translate to personal sales metrics and sales once again became my core focus. It wasn’t too long before the benefits of marketing we had become so accustomed to started to wane.
A Breakthrough
Our breakthrough came with the inception of AdScribe, spurred by the entrance of generative artificial intelligence. Imagine having job adverts that write themselves and social posts that are a click away. AdScribe transformed content creation from a tedious, time-consuming task into an effortless and powerful activity, boosting productivity, enhancing our online presence, and drawing in the calibre of applications that recruiters dream of. We were quickly sailing ahead growing stronger than ever and the beauty of it? It wasn’t just me, our entire team embraced it to effortlessly generate high-quality content - magnifying our profile and boosting our revenue.
AdScribe: The Game Changer
