April Recap: Top Takeaways and Trends
What’s the secret sauce that led the front runners to reach the top of Atlas20 this month?
From looking at how recruitment influencers engage on platforms like LinkedIn, we’ve learned that the real value lies in genuine, real-world conversations.
Big congrats to Carolyn Christie for snagging the top spot on Atlas20 this month!
She really got people talking with topics like the hiring freeze, HR’s “neutrality” limits, salary negotiations, and how in a recruiter’s playbook, it’s not just about spotting “Red Flags” but also recognizing “Green Flags.” which is equally important.
Great work!
Hishem Azzouz, our top performer, always shares insightful nuggets, like this recent one about how recruiters can become top billers regardless of the market.
Some of the questions he asks really make you think, like:
- How can we help £200k billers consistently reach £300k/£400k/£500k?
- What daily must-dos lead to success for consultants dedicated to winning new clients?
- What fresh strategies can turn you into a top biller now, compared to when you started out?
Can’t wait for more insights!
Also making waves on the list is Joel Lalgee. His quirky mini-musicals are a blast!
For instance, his piece on why recruiters are so resilient gives us a peek into the ups and downs of the recruiting life:
- In 2020, it was “we don’t need recruiters… let’s lay them off…”
- In 2021-2022, it’s “where are all the good recruiters? We can pay them well…”
- And now, in 2023-2024, it’s “why do we need recruiters… AI can basically do their job…”
Looking forward to more fun-filled posts like these!
Andrew MacAskill also stepped it up in April. His “walk the talk” posts are a breath of fresh air, especially with those gorgeous green landscapes in the background.
His chats about making recruiters think twice about lowballing candidates and reminding job seekers of their worth during interviews are really thought-provoking.
Some solid advice there!
With his informative content and tactical advice, Greg Savage is another top performer this month!
In his recent, insightful post he digs into selling tips and strategies for recruiters, emphasising the importance of targeting low-hanging fruit and transforming cold calls into warm connections.
