Your PSL might be protecting your recruitment strategy. But is it protecting your people??

This is worth 1 minute of your day.

Could putting the right Recruitment Partner on your PSL mean one less recruiter working against you? For the next 60 seconds we’re going to be honest here. Recruiters operate across the same sectors, markets and talent pools as their customers; that’s how recruitment has to work. But it also mea...

This may ring true if you're job hunting, or just tackling the next email.

Finding niche talent isn’t always about waiting for the right CV to appear.

Sometimes, you need to know who to look for, where to look and, more importantly, who is actually worth talking to.

At Pimento Connection, we don’t just advertise a vacancy. We meet and speak to people, dig a little deeper and look beyond the obvious.

Because when the skills are niche and the right candidate is hard to find, that’s when we’re in our element.

Larger organisations don't always have the advantage when competing for talent. In fact, many candidates tell us they are actively seeking smaller businesses to work for, and the reasons are surprisingly consistent:

➡️Greater visibility of impact
➡️Faster decision-making
➡️Broader responsibilities
➡️Closer leadership access
➡️More autonomy
➡️Interesting project exposure

The influence these factors have on candidate decisions is sometimes underestimated, and the challenge for companies is communicating this value proposition clearly during the hiring process.

Size and headcount isn't always the deciding factor, the employee experience is, and this starts at application stage.

What has your experience been as someone who is or ?

👉 Some people throw spaghetti at the wall to see if it's cooked.
👉 Some recruiters do the same with CVs - fire enough at a Hiring Manager and eventually one sticks.

But volume isn’t best-practice recruitment. Precision is.

Hundreds of ropes, woven together with purpose, can carry weight, withstand pressure, and help people reach the top.

The best recruitment networks aren't built overnight. They're built through years of trust, introductions, recommendations and people who've worked alongside each other.

Like us. Being Veteran-owned means that WE have that network, which we’ve built through years of trust, introductions, recommendations and people who’ve worked alongside us.

When we need the right person, we don't start searching - we start climbing our network.

Recruitment can feel frustrating!

The scrolling. The searching. The waiting...

But every day, somewhere, someone gets the job, a business finds the person they have been looking for and one conversation between two people changes everything. So perhaps the next message, meeting or chat you have will be the one you've been waiting for.

Be open to the details - you just never know where it might lead.

That’s the nice thing about recruitment.

We can see there are plenty of jobs circling out there. Candidates can also see them, can apply for them but somehow they still remain just out of reach....

So, what’s standing between the Candidate and an interview?

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝗵𝘂𝗹𝗮 𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗽: CVs scanned. Keywords checked for a match. Algorithms applied. Candidates filtered and screened within a nano second. Application rejected. Opportunities missed. Not necessarily because the candidates can't do the job, but because the algorithm said so.

There are jobs + there are Candidates. Yet somehow, nobody is meeting anybody!

Stop the spin with us at Pimento Connection

We are not AI. We are humans who enjoy talking to humans, every day, (because more often than not, the best candidate 𝒊𝒔𝒏'𝒕 the one with the best keywords).

The eclipse might block the sun for a few minutes but don’t let great talent spend a moment in the shade.

Hiring Manager with a vacancy?

Let’s shine a light on it.

It won't fix the bigger problem, but throughout September, we're committing to cutting our recruitment fee by 50% for any employer who successfully interviews and employs someone aged 16-24.

Have a read, and have your say.

Businesses say they need people. Employers are struggling to fill some roles. Whilst at the same time, we have young people aged 16 to 24 who are NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training). Time spent NEET can have a lasting impact, including health and wellbeing. Yet employing someone, of any....
