December Roundup
Ever been ghosted during the holidays? Yeah, same.
Let’s face it – Joel Lalgee knows how to hit a nerve. His post on holiday ghosting sparked a debate you’ve probably been on both sides of – keeping candidates engaged when you’re juggling holiday chaos.
Sure, the holidays are hectic, but letting candidates feel like they’re shouting into the void? Not a great look.
Joel’s post nailed this frustration, drawing comments from every angle, making it both engaging and oh-so-relatable.
The takeaway? You can’t afford to leave candidates hanging. Consistent communication, even during the holidays, isn’t just polite – it’s essential for maintaining trust and safeguarding your reputation.
With Atlas, you don’t have to rely on being superhuman. Schedule personalized messages to keep candidates in the loop. Trust us, your reputation will thank you. See it in action
Turning no’s into yes
Carolyn Christie’s post was pure gold for anyone who’s faced the sting of rejection (read: all of us). Her secret?
Turning a mountain of “no’s” into stepping stones to “yes.” Carolyn didn’t just vent – she flipped the script on objections, showing how they can be opportunities in disguise. Inspirational? Absolutely. Practical? Even more so.
Here’s the truth – rejection is the price of admission in recruitment. But how you respond is what sets you apart. If you treat every “no” as a stepping stone instead of a roadblock, you’re not just surviving – you’re thriving.
Atlas helps you track your outreach efforts, identify common objections, and refine your pitches. With tools for collaboration, you can align your team to work seamlessly with clients. See how it works
Wondering if you’re on track?
Now let’s talk about Hishem Azzouz, who spoke directly to that little voice in your head asking, “Am I doing okay?”
His benchmark post gave solo founders a sense of where they stand without the ego or fluff – just honest, relatable numbers.
Why does this matter to you? Because running a recruitment business can feel isolating, especially if you’re flying solo. Comparing your progress to others in the trenches can offer clarity, confidence, and a big ol’ sigh of relief.
Success isn’t magic – it’s all in the numbers!
Greg Savage cut straight to the chase with his gospel of measurable activities and accountability.
His no-BS approach reminded you that success isn’t magic – it’s math. Activity + Quality + Focused Targeting = Results.
Here’s the bottom line – data doesn’t lie. If you’re not tracking your inputs and outcomes, you’re shooting in the dark.
Think long-term – reinvest for growth.
Finally, Sean Anderson shared some wisdom you can take straight to the bank – literally.
In his conversation with Gary Redman, the advice on reinvesting profits wasn’t just smart – it was backed by real-world results.
Building long-term financial health isn’t glamorous, but it’s what separates thriving businesses from paycheck-to-paycheck operations.
If you want to build a recruitment empire, you’ve got to think beyond today’s wins.
With Atlas, you can optimize workflows, reduce inefficiencies, and invest your time and resources where they matter most. It’s not just about growing your business – it’s about making it resilient and future-proof. Try the platform.
How Top Influencers Are Gaining Traction on LinkedIn
The Numbers Game
Ben’s post broke down the recruitment process into cold, hard numbers – something every recruiter can relate to.
His approach offered clarity, actionable advice, and a simple formula for hitting targets.
By asking a direct and challenging question, “Now tell me again why your team aren’t hitting the target?” He engaged readers, encouraging them to reflect on their own performance.
Clear processes and accountability are the backbone of a successful recruitment business. If you’re not hitting targets, it might not be the market – it could be your strategy.
Predictions with Personality
Jordan’s post combined bold predictions with humor and expertise. By framing his insights with a neurodiverse perspective, he stood out as authentic and innovative.
His predictions about AI, recruitment trends, and technology gave readers valuable foresight, while his witty commentary kept them entertained.
The bonus prediction about LinkedIn’s API monetization added a cherry on top.
Thought leadership builds authority and trust. Sharing unique, well-informed perspectives on industry trends sets you apart and positions you as an expert.
Stay ahead of the curve by adopting platforms like Atlas, which integrate cutting-edge AI features to reduce admin and increase productivity. By staying informed and prepared for future shifts, you can position your business as an industry leader.
The Candidate Conundrum
Lauren’s post tapped into a universal frustration for recruiters – candidate no-shows. By sharing her personal story, she made her content relatable and authentic, inviting candidates and recruiters alike to weigh in.
Her closing plea, “Someone please make it make sense,” resonated with the community, sparking discussions and amplifying engagement.
Open, honest storytelling creates connection and builds trust. When you highlight shared struggles, you’re not just posting – you’re starting a conversation.
These posts prove that authenticity, actionable advice, and thought leadership go a long way in growing followers and boosting engagement. Here’s how you can replicate their success:
- Simplify complex ideas into easy-to-digest tips that make people go, “Ah, now I get it!”,
- Position yourself as the expert everyone turns to for industry updates and trends,
- Use your personal stories to create real connections that get people talking.
Follow their lead, and you’ll turn your LinkedIn from a numbers game into a network of meaningful connections.
