Thank you letter from candidate

This was a thank you email I received from a candidate of mine in November this year. Always great to know that you have really helped someone

“Good Morning Gail

I don't think I ever thanked you for giving me the opportunity to go to your client for an interview. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for affording me that opportunity because you gave me that opportunity I got the opportunity to work as Training Administrator a position I didn't even know existed. I discovered my passion for Learning and Development and today I work for …….. and I am studying towards BCOM HR.

All this happened because you gave me a chance. I don't  know if you realise the role you play in improving the lives of the candidates you place, but I would like to thank you today for the role you played in mine.

I hope I can one day do what you did for me for someone else. Thank you very much.

Enjoy your day further.

Kind Regards”

NEWSLETTER NOVEMBER 2016

Hi all

Its December already – how this year has flown by. And once again we are looking forward to 2017 wondering what the New Year will bring.

Recruit.com has been in business for 15 years!

We have had a great year and I was delighted when Janine joined the business as a consultant and resident Psychometrist. It’s been a tough start but she is determined to make this work and will be continuing with Recruit.com in 2017.

We have also had a tough year with a number of difficult clients and candidates but have battled through the challenges and continued to do business in an ethical and fair manner.

Next year we will be focusing on growing the client base as well as the consultant base not only to increase our business and profits but also to empower those consultants who would like to make recruitment a career for themselves.

Customer service is vitally important and no matter what product we sell or service we offer, we strive to give our best at all times.

Don’t forget:

Additional Services Offered: Criminal checks – by request only. This is included in the fee if a candidate’s application is successful. Please note this check will only be done if it is relevant to the position offered or if it is company policy. This service is also offered to existing employees – fees will be provided on request. ITC check – this is included in the fee and will be done only if relevant to the position.

Great news - Again, NO increase in fees for 2017

Please note that Terms of Business are strictly adhered to regarding payment of fees. We will clarify any terms that are confusing. Collection of fees is always a battle as it is with any business. But let’s be fair, pay for the service you are receiving – nothing is for free.

Don’t forget to pay the lady!

Our new motto for 2017: “What are we waiting for”

In November I attended the ActionCoach Business Forum and Awards held in Durban. This was an excellent conference with great speakers from all walks of life.

One lesson I learnt and a great philosophy for the future is “what are we waiting for”

We all tend to hesitate and often doubt our business decisions. This applies to recruiting great people – will they have all the skills I am looking for, will they fit into the culture of the business, will they meet the pressures and demands that we put on our people in the business? There is only one way to find out.

When looking for new work opportunities, candidates want to find a position where they are going to improve their skills and experience. They don’t want a sideways move, they want to move up the ladder, they want to learn, they want to improve and they want to grow. If you meet a candidate who doesn’t quite have all the skills you require, let them learn, let them grow, give them the opportunity to empower themselves and grow in the business.

Many great business men and women in South Africa have taken the leap of faith and have been highly successful. They may not have had the product knowledge or skills when they ‘jumped’ in but they gave themselves the opportunity to learn, they were given the opportunity to prove themselves and they were successful.

Let’s go forward into 2017 with the attitude of “what are we waiting for”, let’s empower and grow the people of South Africa and let’s give them a chance.

A note from Janine

Having always been in recruitment on "the other side" - within an organisation itself, I appreciate how time consuming recruitment can be. One often wades through an endless pile of CVs, only to find oneself starting again because the ideal candidate is so difficult to find. To add to this, one has to adhere to various policies within the organisation in terms of recruitment and the process can become quite taxing.

Recruit.Com can assist to make the recruitment process efficient and effective, as we have the skills to match the candidate not only with the job spec, but also with the culture and ethos of your organisation.

Closure of the office:

The office will be closed for the festive season from Friday 23rd December and will re-open on Wednesday 18th January 2017.

That’s all folks! Janine and I would like to take this opportunity of wishing you all a wonderful Festive Season, Happy Holidays and Happy Christmas and if you are travelling anywhere, travel safely.

Kindest regards

Gail and Janine
