What are the best and worst decisions a staffing firm can make?
• best decisions: – staying segment/niche focused – adopting more efficient technology – focusing on VMS/MSP

“doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”
Insanity
The REC view of what agencies will profit
• Inch wide, mile deep specialist
• Volume/ low cost operator
• Traditional plus model
The client…
• Skill shortages will only get worse• Clients don’t partner they compete• Our customers believe that they can do it better than us• CEOs believe in talent but not our ability to find it• Clients will continue to invest in talent sourcing• RPO/ Managed Services will continue to rise
©2014 by Greg savage
The candidate…
• Application apathy - a horrible experience• Recruiters a necessary evil • Agencies are not special – they use multiple channels• Beginning to use social channels to find jobs• Less of a stigma about working “temp/ contract”• Great candidates will not go to job boards• Counter offers will increase for all jobs (50+%)
©2014 by Greg savage
The recruiter….
• Recruiters hiding behind technology
• Recruiters waiting for candidates to come to them
• Skill-sets needed around influencing, negotiation, scoping, selling
• Role split between sourcer and salesperson
• Recruiters can’t just rely on an economic recovery

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
So what will a client pay for?
NO• Recruiters who search 20% of the talent pool • Recruiters who wait for candidates to apply • Recruiters who mine Linkedin alone
YES• Recruiters who can save them time • Specialists who are candidate magnets• Finding “unavailable” talent for them• Advice and consultancy
What about temporary markets?
Technology
Moore’s law
I hate networking!!
• 48% of smartphone users use the phone in the bathroom• ~350 million apps downloaded on Christmas Day• Mobile internet traffic is overtaking desktop
The future is mobile
• 4 in 10 US jobseekers found their best job through personal connections
• 76% of US social jobseekers found their current position through facebook not Linkedin
• 40% expect to be able to apply for a job through their mobile device
JOBVITE Survey 2014
Conclusion
THE BIGGEST RISK - NOT TAKING RISKSTake some risks
We are in a great business

• but….link with IT and marketing
Takeaways
• How will you adapt to change to help you grow?
Takeaways
• Your Brand - the importance of the candidate
Takeaways
• Embrace technology…..but don’t be ruled by it
If you want 1 year of prosperity, grow grain. If you want 10 years of prosperity, grow trees. If you want 100 years of prosperity, grow people.
