Recruitment Matters May 2013

In April, the REC launched a new series of regional roundtable events, REC Spotlight, which for the first time brought together local MPs and REC members to discuss labour market concerns at a local level.

The first meeting, on 19 April, took place in Bristol and was chaired by REC chief executive, Kevin Green, with Kerry McCarthy, MP for Bristol East, and Stephen Williams, MP for Bristol West, in the hot seats. REC members represented recruitment agencies from a wide cross-section of industries including, engineering and IT, legal, executive search, construction, office support, accountancies, commercial, industrial, health and contact centres.

The topics covered were many and varied but several key themes emerged, from the increasing difficulty some local recruiters have had in finding people to fill highly specialised positions (stress engineers, design, software, manufacturers and so on) and, at the other end of the spectrum, recruiters who place

jobseekers with lower skills identifying a real issue with generational attitudes and willingness to work.

Overall though, Bristol was identified as a city with a buoyant economy that has weathered the recession well. In fact, it is one of the UK’s best performing cities, with major employers such as Airbus, BAE Systems and GKN Aerospace making it a hub for technical and engineering employment.

Kevin Green said it was a “fantastic event” with some “good and lively debate on labour force issues”.

Lasting two and a half hours, these interactive events are free to both REC and IRP members, and provide opportunities for members to discuss their issues, thoughts and ideas for the industry and the chance to influence the REC’s messages and policy.

Leading the Industry

On a bright November morning last year, the Employment Minister Mark Hoban glided into REC HQ in Dorset House to sign a formal partnership agreement between the Department for Work & Pensions (DWP) and the REC. This has proved a signifi cant event on a number of levels. As well as reinforcing government recognition for the industry’s voice, it has provided a catalyst for local level co-operation, which can deliver a number of practical benefi ts for recruiters.

As part of the REC/DWP partnership agreement, a programme of regional roundtables is currently underway. The aim is to enhance collaboration between agencies and Jobcentre Plus and to explore new ways of working together. Recent meetings in Taunton and Birmingham have set the tone and underlined some of the tangible outcomes that can come from public/private sector co-operation.

1 Labour market intelligence. Local employment landscapes are constantly evolving, in particular due to cuts in the

public sector and plans to boost potential growth sectors. This partnership facilitates the REC and DWP sharing views on labour market trends and working together to pre-empt future skills needs.

2 Access to new candidate pools. Recruiters are reporting signifi cant demand for staff in high-end sectors such as

engineering and technology, as well as in other areas such as drivers, care and sales. Building links with local Jobcentres can create a new pipeline of candidates and was one of the outcomes to emerge from recent roundtables.

3 Updates of government initiatives. A further example of co-operation is ensuring that recruitment agencies have

the latest updates on policy developments so that they can then raise awareness of changes with the employers and candidates with whom they work on a daily basis. For example, discussions in Taunton honed in on changes to the tax system (Universal Credit) and the launch of Universal Jobsmatch.

4 Helping with public sector tender criteria. Recruitment providers working on high-profi le publicly funded

initiatives, for example large-scale construction projects, will often need to demonstrate that that they are providing opportunities for local jobseekers. Having strong working relationships with local Jobcentres can help meet this criteria.

5 Facilitating career transitions. An on-going debate is how to facilitate career transitions for those who have been made

unemployed, for example moving from the public to the private sector. This is an area where specialist recruitment agencies can play a key role. Jobcentre staff are already using their increasing knowledge of the recruitment sector to refer jobseekers to specialist agencies.

6 Raising awareness of possible funding streams. With more regional autonomy in terms of funding streams, there

are real opportunities for recruiters to become more involved in targeted employment initiatives.

Working more closely also helps improve understanding among recruitment agencies about government initiatives such as the Youth Contract and apprenticeships. Recruiters are then able to raise awareness among employers and job candidates. The role that recruiters can play in this area is something that was expressly recognised by the employment minister at the launch of the partnership agreement and in subsequent discussions with the REC.

Signifi cant progress has been made in terms of local level co-operation. However, more can be done to break down barriers and further enhance collaboration. On a practical level,

an increasing number of agencies are already working with Jobcentre Plus to source candidates for both temporary and permanent job opportunities. The aim is to build on this and to continue highlighting the practical benefi ts of public/private sector collaboration.

Leading the Industry

‘May you live in interesting times’ was used by Robert Kennedy in a speech in 1966 to explain the changing shape of society.

As I engage with recruiters in person or via social media it’s clear how relevant this statement is to our members as both the labour market and the recruitment industry both go through a period of signifi cant change.

The shift to a much more fl exible jobs market, where already 46% of working people are in a non-permanent or a non-full time role, is radically different from a just a decade ago. This is creating opportunities for many members, as is the emergence of skill shortages.

While these factors may provide some upside, margin pressure, the growth of intermediaries and a highly competitive market is making times much harder for many recruiters.

One thing that is clear is that the recruiters who are winning in these challenging times are those who innovate or seek to be different. One example of this is the level to which recruiters embrace technology and social media. The candidate database is dead; clients have access to the same tools as us, so our ability to stay ahead of their wants and needs has never been more important.

In much of the market where professional and managerial capability is scarce, the ability of your consultants to fi nd the talent (versus the client’s in-house team) may be the only game in town.

How you attract great candidates who become loyal to your business may be all that differentiates your business from a myriad of similar competitors.• Follow Kevin Green on Twitter www.twitter.com/kevingreenrec or connect with him on LinkedIn: uk.linkedin.com/pub/kevin-green/22/a75/221

The View

the intelligence

Shhhhh. Make sure no one is listening. This is just between you and me. Recruiters are starting to see revenue growth. Yes, it is true. Revenue growth has been steadily improving from the nadir of a contraction of 2.7% in May last year, to growth of 6.4% in February, a further acceleration on what we have pleasingly seen in the last few months (Figure 1).

Where is the growth coming from? With the current level of economic uncertainty and the constant barrage of newsfl ow of downgrades on the news wires, it is not surprising that growth in the recruitment market is coming from allowing employers fl exibility in their labour resource, rather than adding to their fi xed cost base. Figure 2 shows that contracting (which is growing at double digits) and temporary are the revenue streams that are growing the most strongly, with permanent recruitment lagging behind, up only 3.3% in February.

Turning now to which sectors are growing the fastest, Figure 3 shows that both Education and Life sciences are both growing at double digits, with Technology not far behind. (Figure 3 also shows that Offi ce professionals is the sector struggling the most, with median revenue contraction of 13.5% in February 2013.)

I have observed before that with temporary and contracting delivering the bulk of revenue growth, recruiters will see a decline in net disposable revenue (NDR), as these revenue streams have lower gross margins due to the recruitment company paying the individual rather than a client, and that means that greater care needs to be taken with overhead cost control. We will look at profi tability trends in more detail next month.

database of candidates, is being eroded by the fact that the web is becoming such a rich source of human data.”

So, how do agencies and companies cope in a world where all of the cards are face up?


Sourcing talent onlineLinkedIn and Twitter can seem daunting, but using them correctly can help rather than hinder your business, says RM editor Francesca Steele

The Big Talking Point

Standard methods of recruitment have changed completely in the past

decade, with social media becoming an inextricable part of the process, both for recruitment professionals and for clients.

LinkedIn is at the forefront of this change. In 2008, the social networking site devoted entirely to professional people, set up LinkedIn Recruiter, which allows headhunters to access and search its more than 187m profi les and contact potential candidates. This division generated $138.4m (£89.3m) in the third quarter of 2012, a whopping 55% of its total revenue.

Many recruiters understandably feel concerned about the potential impact of services that make it easier for clients to source their own candidates. Vincent O’Donoghue, commercial director at internet recruitment training company Social Talent, says that change can be very hard to accept. “It is a massive mind-shift for an industry that has cautiously guarded its information or database of CVs to move to a world where information is so freely shared,” he explains. “However, the reality is that the value, for example of an agency’s

It’s important to get the tone right onlineMark Pack, associate director at Blue Rubicon communications consultancy

There is still real skill and value in what recruiters do – and in a way this

kind of competition forces people to be even better. Of course, a company

can now go and fi nd people itself that bit more easily. But if you know your

market really well, you can do a better job. It’s quite similar to how PR is

evolving. It’s much easier for clients to send out releases directly now. But

are they targeting the right people in the right way? Are they using the right language?

I think it’s important for recruitment fi rms and agencies to give their staff proper training on

things like LinkedIn. You can learn a bit of it yourself but people are so much more eff ective

when they have learnt to use it properly. Clients would be well within their rights to expect

a recruiter to be far more familiar with LinkedIn than they were, and increasingly to have

done thorough online checks of candidates as well. Nobody really cares these days I think if

someone has a picture of them looking drunk on a Facebook profi le. But those sites can be a

useful barometer for whether someone’s CV checks out.

Another, slightly less obvious thing to consider is that social networking is a two-way street.

If you can fi nd people they can fi nd you just as easily. Information about companies and

individuals is so accessible online now that if someone or something gets a bad reputation

people can fi nd out about it instantly. It’s precisely this sort of thing that can make it

worthwhile having an employee whose focus is on maintaining and strengthening the

company’s online presence.

The answer, says O’Donoghue, is to add value by utilising social networking sites so that you have a competitive advantage. “If recruiters learn to properly use sites like LinkedIn and add that to the databases, personal connections

and industry expertise that they already have they can offer a client candidates far better suited to roles than the client can fi nd for themselves.”

And, he adds, the most important piece of technology is still the telephone. “While we believe that aspects of recruitment are being revolutionised, human relationships are still extremely important. A recruiter may fi nd and attract people online but they will only place them by having conversations and building relationships offl ine.”

Social Talent, which was set up and is still run by former agency recruiters, offers online courses in things like Online Employer Branding and Online Sourcing. It trains front-line recruiters in the use of web-based technologies to attract and source candidates for their jobs, and curates what it refers to as ‘the technical stuff’ about the internet and social media into what a recruiter can actually implement straight away to attract and fi nd the best talent in the market.

According to industry experts, other social networking sites can be useful too – and many recruiters already engage

frequently with clients and candidates on more informal sites.

According to a June 2012 survey of more than 1,000 HR professionals by recruiting software maker Jobvite, two-thirds of companies already use Facebook to fi nd recruits, while 54% use Twitter to learn about potential candidates’ views and interests.

In November 2012, Facebook launched a social jobs app that aggregates more than 1.7m job listings from Monster and other sites and allows members to share them with friends.

In fact, Facebook has several apps popular with recruiters, including the upcoming Graph Search, which allows users to search for certain words and trends within Facebook, and which our columnist Marie-Clara Thaureux (see page 7) has recently road-tested. “It means that I can be better prepared,” she explains. “So if, for example, I am taking some clients out for dinner, I can fi nd out which restaurants they like in advance.”

The reality, adds Thaureux, is that many of the best candidates are also not looking for jobs. Social networking sites can allow recruiters to fi nd more passive

candidates on a more informal level.However, it is of course important

to ensure that you do not strike the wrong tone by being too intrusive in the more personal setting of Facebook or Twitter if that is not what clients or candidates are used to, says Mark Pack of the communications consultancy Blue Rubicon.

“There are quite a lot of professions where casual contact-making is absolutely the norm – the media, for example. But others – such as the public sector – are quite formal and making initial contact on something as familiar as Twitter might be seen as quite inappropriate.”

The most important thing, as with every other part of your job as a recruiter, adds Pack, is to get the appropriate training – and then use your common sense.

Legal Update


Behaviour: In April, Paris Brown, the UK’s fi rst Youth Police Commissioner, resigned her post because of tweets she had made as a 14-year-old. Her Twitter account was not vetted as part of the recruitment process, but tweets deemed to be homophobic and racist were revealed after her appointment had been made public. This reminds us that we must always be mindful of what we are posting and where, because once they are out there they are almost impossible to delete.

At the same time, it highlights the confl ict between protecting an individual’s right to privacy and to free speech, versus what an employer or prospective employer might regard to be unacceptable behaviour via social media. In Smith v Trafford Housing Trust [2012], the High Court examined whether an employer breached contract by demoting an employee whom it alleged breached its Code of Conduct by posting particular comments on his personal Facebook page. The judge commented:

1. Mr Smith’s Facebook wall “was inherently non-work related… he plainly and visibly used it for the expression of

Using social media: some legal implications

In the current climate, late payments by clients can be a real concern for recruiters, with as many as one in ten fi rms citing it as their main barrier to growth.

However, there is a simple solution, according to Close Brothers Invoice Finance, an independent provider of factoring and invoice discounting services. Since 2008 the organisation has produced a quarterly business barometer to gain insight into SME sentiment and the challenges they face.

Invoice fi nance is the fastest growing form of funding in the UK, which bridges the gap between raising an invoice and it being paid by a client. It can release up to 95% of the value of your unpaid invoices instantly, meaning you don’t have to wait

for clients to pay you. Close Brothers has an online invoice discounting system called

IDeal™, which reconciles unpaid invoices in real time, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

“The beauty,” says David Thomson, CEO, Close Brothers Invoice Finance, “is that it both improves cashfl ow and reduces administration time, meaning a business is free to get on with its core activity, such as making sales and generating growth.”

So what are you waiting for? Not client payments, that’s for sure!You can see more information on invoice fi nance and read

other news items that include statistics from the barometer at www.closeinvoice.co.uk

Business development: What can you do if a client is late with a payment?

personal views about matters which had absolutely nothing to do with his work. [It] was an aspect of his social life outside work, no less than a pub, a club, a sports ground or any other physical (or virtual) place where individuals meet and converse”. 2. When considering whether remarks made are offensive or derogatory, an employer should consider the “reasonable reader”. It noted that “the encouragement of diversity in the recruitment of employees inevitably involves employing persons with widely different religious and political beliefs and views, some of which, however moderately expressed, may cause distress among the holders of deeply felt opposite views”.

A business tool: Social media is a valuable business tool, but for agencies issues arise regarding contacts made by (1) employees and (2) clients.

1. Contacts are the lifeblood of an agency and sites such as LinkedIn can be used to source prospective candidates. The agency can protect

these contacts via an appropriately drafted social media policy, backed up by restrictive covenants in the employment contract. Particular attention should be paid to “professional” versus “personal” contacts. The REC legal team has recently produced a new social media policy, and updated the contract of employment and disciplinary policy. All documents are available free to REC corporate members at www.rec.uk.com/legal_guide/model-docs.

2. Agencies may fi nd themselves in dispute with a client who claims to have sourced the same candidate via social media, and thus wants to avoid an introduction fee. Long-established contractual principles remain relevant i.e. in order to be able to claim a fee the agency must demonstrate that it was the “effective cause” of the engagement of the candidate. However, this does not give clients carte blanche to avoid fees where they are liable to pay them.

Paris Brown was forced to resign


Confi dence is keyI was studying to be an actress when I left to go into recruitment and the skills I learnt at drama school have certainly helped me in my new career. To have the confi dence to go on stage was one thing but now I interview company directors and they need to feel that I know what I’m talking about. I’m quite young to run a company, I know – I’m under 30 still – but I always make it clear that I’m confi dent in what I’m doing. You have to know your subjectSome recruiters fi nd interviews quite intimidating but if you know your subject then confi dence comes hand-in-hand with that. If you don’t know what you’re saying then your confi dence is going to lapse. Both things increase with experience too. It’s better to work with enthusiastic peopleWe work in the fi nancial services sector in Jersey, fi nding everyone from accountants to lawyers to private bankers. It’s mostly mid-management level up, but I always say that I will work with anyone who is really enthusiastic about what they do. The downturn has been good for recruitmentIt’s been awful in some ways, of course, but I think it’s made lots of us better recruiters. Some have responded to hard times by CV-pushing but the best ones have become more selective, more focused. You have to engage with your clientI always wanted to set up a consultancy that actually consulted, and we’ve been running for about a year now. We ensure that we get to know our clients very well. We know our clients – we know when they are selling their house or if they are going on holiday. We know where the growth in their teams is going to be or if they have issues. We even sometimes know where their parents live! It’s not just a phone conversation, it’s building a real relationship.

Name: Chris OddyAgency: Real Staffi ng GroupYears in recruitment: FiveSpecialism: Electronic engineering

How did you get into recruitment?I studied graphic communication and design but while I was at university I fell into recruitment and then found myself really enjoying it. I loved the idea of a clear career path. I’m a keen marathon runner and the clear, long-term targets in recruitment appealed to that side of me.

What do you enjoy about it today?I like really getting to know companies. I didn’t know much about electronics when I started but I’ve enjoyed learning about the subject and getting to know candidates throughout their contracting careers. It’s always exciting and new but with a long-term goal too.

Would you like to try another sector?I’ve gone from electronic engineers to more senior appointments and I’m always on the look-out for a new sector within electronics. I wouldn’t rule out trying a completely different thing either though!

What do you fi nd most challenging?The technical side of things at fi rst defi nitely. And also learning how to put the best candidates forward and understanding what clients need has been a learning curve. I realised a year after I fi rst started that sometimes you have to take time to explain to a manager why they should interview someone who might not look as good on paper as someone else. As you gain experience you intuitively understand more about who will be a better fi t and how to explain that to someone.

Do you have any particularly memorable placements?When someone isn’t initially selected for interview and then they eventually get the role after you’ve persuaded the manager to see them, that’s very satisfying. I’ve enjoyed seeing some people embarking nervously on a contract career after being redundant and then start to really enjoy it.

What would you be if you weren’t in recruitment?Something to do with sport! I’d maybe give marathon running a go, or help sports companies with marketing or something like that. I’m really passionate about all things sports-related. You’ve probably noticed!
