Recruitment agency 101 – how to manage your consultants!

November 5th, 2024 | Industry News

It’s key to the success of any recruitment agency that the owner/manager/CEO has real awareness and understanding of the activities of their consultants. Why? Because:

1. Consultants are the front line of a recruitment firm. Even though a website for recruitment feels like most people’s introduction, even the best recruitment websites don’t have the impact of that first call or meeting with a consultant
2. Each consultant needs different things to do their best. Recruiting software can help every member of your team to perform better, but your oversight, your vision, is what gives them focus and enthusiasm
3. Keeping your own talent happy is crucial to success. Good consultants have their choice of workplaces, and you want yours to stay with you.

At Recruit So Simple, we know how important this is to business success, that’s why we’ve built a suite of simple, but effective, management tools, to help you manage your consultants:

Management tools for recruiters

Our software allows you to create tasks and to assign them to your candidates, your clients and even wider contacts like the organisers of recruitment fairs. And it’s not just that you can schedule tasks for your team, you can also set reminders for interview and phone calls, so nothing gets missed – ever.

Oversight as standard

Because our management tools ensure that your tasks and interviews appear automatically on the calendar, you can easily track everybody’s day-to-day activities, and align this with the best recruitment CRM so that even your social media recognises planned activities and can align your outreach with your calendar so new clients and new candidates are always aware of your presence.

Communication made easy

We’ve made it easy so sync your Recruit So Simple calendar (including those all important tasks and interviews) with your existing email client. This is a seamless and automatic process which ensures your entire team, from reception staff to senior consultants, is on top of what’s happening company wide, give you a clear sense of team activity and purpose.

Working with the best recruitment software for agencies

Recruitment management software should do more than make life more simple, although that’s important. It should also help you create a sense of purpose and activity, deliver on your mission statement, and help your team pull together. We believe recruitment agency software isn’t just part of the package, it pulls the whole package together and that’s why Recruit So Simple is always refining its management tools, to ensure that we’re helping you manage your agency to maximise income, performance and satisfaction.
