Friendly advice from a recruiter - A must read for your CV. Avoid putting these on your CV: 1. **Irrelevant personal information:** This includes details like your date of birth and marital status 2. **Negative language or remarks:** Avoid any negative comments about previous employers. 3. **Photos:** including a photo on your CV is unnecessary and may even lead to unconscious bias. Unless it's relevant to the job (e.g., modeling) 4. **Reasons for leaving previous jobs:** While it's important to be prepared to discuss reasons for leaving during interviews, your CV is not the place for this 5. **References' contact information:** Simply state "References available upon request." 6. **Health-related information:** Avoid disclosing health conditions or disabilities on your CV. Focus on your ability to perform the job. 7. **Long paragraphs or dense blocks of text:** Keep your CV concise and easy to read by using bullet points, short sentences, and clear formatting. Long paragraphs can be overwhelming for recruiters/hiring managers to read. 8. **Unprofessional email addresses or social media (Github):** Ensure your contact information is professional. Avoid inappropriate email addresses and make sure your social media profiles are clean and presentable. 9. **Spelling or grammatical errors:** Proofread your CV carefully to ensure there are no spelling or grammatical mistakes. Errors can create a negative impression and suggest a lack of attention to detail. such as '2022 - 3023' #thisisnoa.com #cvwriting #jobseekers #recruitment

📈 The German technology industry experienced a 16% drop in new job postings in Q1 2024 compared with the previous quarter 📉 Last week, I came across an article commenting on recruitment signals in DE. I have to tell you that this drop in recruitment compared with previous quarters didn't really surprise me. All the clients I talked to are unanimous: 1️⃣ Now is the time to be cautious and the volume of recruitment (in tech and non-tech) is not what it was in 2021 - 2022 (no scoop so far). 🤓 By the way, as you can read in the article (the link is in the comments) that it's the big groups that are recruiting the most at the moment, because they're less sensitive to the ups and downs of the market. 2️⃣ With fewer job openings, there’s an influx of candidates applying to each position, increasing the workload for HR departments to filter through numerous applications. This heightened competition makes it crucial to find the right talent quickly and efficiently. 👆🏻I'm convinced that this is exactly where specialist recruitment services like talent.io can make a major difference. ⇒ We believe that by providing you with a curated pool of tech talent, you can save an incredible amount of time. Plus, we offer premium services tailored to fit even the tightest budgets, ensuring you get the best value for your recruitment investment. 👀 Do you have an opinion on the matter or do you share the feeling that you are drowning in the flow of incoming applications? — Hi! 👋 I'm Lilyana and you're +3,000 people who follow me for stories about how you can build the best tech teams in Germany. Let’s get in touch!

We have to remember this important detail within the recruitment process. The high-performing candidate is not only waiting for your company, they're waiting for that great opportunity and that great company who moves forward more quickly. If you are able to get your team to expedite the hiring process, and at minimum, being able to provide feedback within 1-3 BDs, that will help your team hire high-performing Finance talent a lot faster. And... When your team is able to provide feedback more quickly, that will also have a ripple effect on your BRAND. That high-performing candidate knows other high-performing candidates and will mention their experience to others. If you are able to move more quickly with a high performer, it will benefit not just being able to hire this person, but it will also impact your brand in the marketplace and your ability to attract more high performers. #recruiting #talent #finance #accounting #talentacquisition #highperformers #success #privateequity #pe #recruitment #hiring #leadership

Two of these trends jump out at me when recruiting for the Manufacturing sector: 1. AUTOMATION Huge skills gap in this area with not enough talent coming through apprentice schemes and colleges. Employers need to up-skill and re-skill their workers to adapt to increasingly advanced technology. 2. DIRTY JOBS Despite automation making processes safer and less physically demanding, manufacturing has an image problem which is particularly acute with women (they are only 30% of the manufacturing workforce, I suspect this could be less for Northern Ireland). Employers need to show how their manufacturing processes have advanced, becoming cleaner, safer and challenge this perception. Have a look at some of the top trends facing the Manufacturing sector globally:

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭. Over the last few years of my recruitment journey, I’ve received hundreds of messages from potential candidates looking for a new opportunities. Although many of them are relevant to my market, unfortunately many of them are also not. I can imagine to an outsider, that it’s tricky to tell when looking for a recruiter, which ones cover your market, but it seems that some don’t actually look at who they’re messaging at all. They see the word RECRUITER and immediately hit the message button. 𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖’𝒓𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒐𝒏𝒆? 🌴 It will save you time! - it wastes your time, as well as the recruiters. Sending a message to the wrong person means you’ll have to start over again with the correct contact. 🌴 It will hold a good reputation - it shows that you have done your research on who you are reaching out to. If you don’t read a recruiters page properly before reaching out it can make you look poorly prepared and potentially damage your name across the market. 🌴 Lost opportunity- you could have spent this time reaching out to the correct recruiter and speeding up the process. We get it - mistakes happen, but attention to detail is super important when you are on the hunt for your next opportunity! #rec2rec #dubairecruitment #recruitmentadvice #ukrecruiters Ellis Recruitment Solutions - Malaika Ellis

Thursday thoughts - Timing is key in recruitment. In the world of hiring, every moment counts. From the instant a candidate sees your job post or responds to your headhunting message, to the timing of your interview and offer, each step demands strategic timing and effective communication. Remember, time is the one resource money can't buy. Make sure to prioritize wisely to avoid running out of it faster than you expected. #RecruitmentInsights #TimeIsPrecious

Happy Tuesday⭐ Today's topic is Ethics in Recruitment: Ensuring Fairness and Integrity in Talent Acquisition because without Ethics you won't get far in anything that you do. As recruiters, we hold a vital responsibility not only to our clients but also to the candidates we engage with. Upholding ethical standards in recruitment is paramount to fostering trust, fairness, and integrity throughout the hiring process. At every stage, from sourcing to selection, it's imperative to prioritize transparency and respect for candidates' rights. This means providing clear job descriptions, honest communication about the role and company culture, and ensuring equal opportunities for all applicants regardless of their background, gender, ethnicity, or any other characteristic. Furthermore, respecting candidates' privacy and confidentiality is non-negotiable. Handling personal data with care and obtaining consent for its use are essential practices in compliance with data protection regulations. Additionally, maintaining professionalism and honesty in interactions with candidates is key. This includes providing timely feedback, keeping promises made during the recruitment process, and refraining from misleading or deceptive practices. By adhering to ethical principles in recruitment, we not only safeguard the reputation of our clients' organizations but also contribute to building a more equitable and inclusive workforce. #EthicsInRecruitment #Fairness #Integrity #TalentAcquisition"
