How important is it to create Industry specific content on a regular and on-going basis?
(And how big of a role can / does it play in a companies future success?)
I am currently in touch with a number of FinTech & RegTech specialist Content Creators & Digital Marketing experts, each with individual deep knowledge across a broad array of topics.
If you are "not sure where to start" when it comes to building your branding, how to approach marketing, revamping your website, launching a new product in a new marketing etc. often the best solutions is taking a talk with professionals such as these. Take the chance to learn about the work they have done for others, hear first hand the ROI from the investment, and using this to help create your own branding & marketing strategy!
Not every call has to be a closing call there and then... build a network, build a brand, build your business!
Please do reach out if you have any questions on how to start, build, scale your business - all invites are welcomed! Mar 13, 2024

🔔REALITY CHECK🔔 Do you actually have time to hire on your own?
❌The Numbers Don't Lie❌
Bard, (now called Gemini) suggests it takes on average:
🎯10 hours of sourcing & screening to generate a good candidate
🎯A further 2 - 3 hours on in-depth screening
🎯Then 3 - 4 hours on interviewing
🎯And finally 2 - 4 hours closing a process
This averages between 17 - 23 hours, and that does not account for the fact multiple candidates are needed as the ratio is never 1 to 1 (the average being 4 - 6 candidates to successfully make a hire)
If your businesses is wanting / expecting / needing to hire just 1 highly skilled candidate (such as Software Engineer, Data Engineer, Head of Product etc.) then you must be able to afford someone in your business, who has sufficient skills and experience in active sourcing recruitment, to work fulltime for over 2 weeks if you expect a positive result.
The reality is it costs your business more by not using expert help when hiring, than expecting your HR to be able to still complete their normal fulltime job function AND achieve in the hiring results you want.

I think it would be very hard to argue the Iceberg model is not a great representation of the various recruitment strategies, showing the stark difference in results and abilities of each!
Especially for business critical hires, roles that will from day 1 will have a large impact, I can not see how a business would not only WANT, but NEED to really make sure they look deep in to the market to find what they truly need!
If you are looking to make Business critical hires then reach out, and we can discuss how you can maximise your dive in to the candidate market! Jan 31, 2024

"COMPANT CULTURE" - This term is frequently thrown around in job adverts and whilst hiring, but the reality most companies are just saying "we are a nice group of people who mostly seem to get along, so you should be fine"
BUT what if you are missing a trick to not only provide an awesome company culture, but also capitalise on your staffs most productive hours of the day AND give them valuable day-light hours back for family time or hobbies?
If you are interested in learning how you can design a more optimised working day/schedule for your business, drop me a message for a free consultation 👍 Jan 29, 2024

What would you expect to hold more value to your business?
14 Years of Recruitment experience, with 40 to 50 hours per week deep in all aspects of sourcing, interviews, offer management, on-boarding etc.
🆚
A CTO or Hiring Manager trying to find extra time here of there to hire, having never been trained on active sourcing, learnt how to interview by their own experiences, and already maxed out with all of their other tasks and responsibilities
If your business is powered by people and their skills, then like building a house, you will most likely need an expert to help you through the process! Jan 22, 2024

The 🌎 before 2020 is a long way away from the life we live in today! The pathways to success and the tools that enable us to get there have progressed at a rate only seen previously in movies 📽️🎬
As such, hiring in 2024 could end up being a very tough experience especially for young ambitious companies.
Whilst you could resort to tools such as ChatGPT and Bard etc. fact is everyone else is already there! What I have seen first hand with AI tools is they have a "style" of writing that has already flooded the market, supported by scraping and messaging bots, creating more "noise" than ever
WHAT IS THE SOLUTION
My opinion, it is rolling back the years to hands on graft - what I mean is really putting in the time 🕜 to work through your network, your competitors, the MVPs and local industry leaders in your market place, to personally identify the top 50 individuals you want!
From there the hard work continues, because whilst of course you will try and reach out to these individuals directly through email or LinkedIn etc. the chances are a large % of this will go un-answered 🙄.... BUT HOW DO YOU REACH THEM? 🧐
This is where you will then look to leverage the contacts you have in your network, identify possible introductions and referrals from people you have had past dialog with (being careful to not make every interaction one sided) to get the “air time” you need with your target candidates!
🎯ONCE YOU GET YOUR SHOT, do not miss it 🎯… when you do get the chance to speak with your prospects, be it via Teams, phone or even email, you need to craft a compelling story, a purpose, and value proposition for them…
STILL FOLLOWING? 🤨
If you need/want a bit more advice of how to “do it on your own”, then feel free to reach out for a 🆓 free 30 minute review 👨💻 of your hiring process and how this can be improved with a guarantee I will be able to leave you with a minimum of 3 tangible actions that you can execute to increase your hiring strategy! 🚀 Jan 16, 2024

Job adverts will not enable you hire highly skilled talent!
If you have found yourself in this situation when posting job adverts before, it is borderline insanity to think posting another will simply lead to a different result...
In todays market, if you want to hire, if you need to hire, you need to have a multi-strategy approach to pro-actively reaching out and engaging the talent you need - it will not come to you.
That being said, doing this takes a lot of time, needs careful consideration as has impacts on your brand and local reputation etc. so if you would like some help and advice on how your business can leverage other routes to hiring, please feel free to reach out! Jan 15, 2024

Salaries are in the typical range of £90,000 - £130,000 fixed base + comms in the UK/London, €100,000 - €130,000 fixed base + comms in Germany and the Netherlands, and 100,000 - 140,000 CHF fixed base + comms in Switzerland
If anyone is looking to grow their Sales outfit in the UK, Switzerland or Europe, I might have some options to help you get started - please feel free to reach out for an initial talk together 👍
(I also have a limited number of Pre-Sales professionals, but these are in high demand!) Jan 11, 2024

Doing everything in-house often seems like a good idea, save on money, have more visibility and control etc. but there comes a time (often sooner than expected), when perhaps that mind-set causes more problems than good.
Questions to consider:
Do you have the skills to complete the task?
Can you afford the time it will take you to do it?
What else could you be doing with that time?
How much does it end up costing you?
My proposition to the FinTech Connector Community is:
If you need to hire, and it is important for the next phase of your businesses development, or you are already spending too long on this, seek help!
Qualify a number of businesses (who are experts in your field, not just because they shout the loudest) and asses their ability to take the information you give them to create a narrative, to present to you how they will approach your needs, and then choose one and trust them to deliver!
Often the best recruiters I know will leave the bigger agencies to start on their own, or in small groups, because they do not like how it was done and know their way is best (and there is often a reason they are financially able to leave and start on their own as they are typically the highest achievers!)
My business, TMS Technology is a small team (4 people) - we thrive on creating deep narratives and storytelling which is what enables us to reach deep in to local market and identify, source and secure hard to find candidates (plus we already have over 30,000 LinkedIn connections in Europe!)
We come from a long history of technology recruitment, but now are also able to offer a unique "specialist search" operation, meaning taking on more specific, Senior, or time critical roles which often requiring a more rare skills, or deeper research!
If you are looking to hire in 2024 in the Nordics, Benelux or DACH, then the chances are we could be the partner you did not know you where looking for!?
