Breakfast Briefing – How Recruiters Working On Contracting Desks and Dual Desks Can Be Successful

Thank you to everyone who came along to the recent breakfast briefing in Contracting PLUS’ HQ in Dublin.

The fantastic Olivia Galvin, Career and Personal Development Coach covered the theme of “How Recruiters Working On Contracting Desks and Dual Desks Can Be Successful.”

Thanks to our very own Lorraine Mooney who captured these key takeaways on the morning:

• Never stop building a pipeline
• Always understand your clients brief
• If you wait for a candidate to contact you, it’s usually too late - network, get to know your candidate market.
• Offer an aftercare service to your candidates, ask for referrals
• Be a problem solver for your clients and candidates
• Sell yourself and the benefits of working with you and remember
• Technology will help you to find talent, a great recruiter will create the outcome!

Despite the wind and the rain that morning we had an excellent turn out and even better feedback…

"Very insightful"

 "Bringing it back to basics and showing how this reaps rewards."

"The personal approach makes a difference."

 "Loved that advice was applicable to all desks."

A special thanks to Contracting PLUS for such a warm welcome to their office and for sponsoring this event. And of course a thank you to the National Recruitment Federation Skillnet for their support to this event too.
