In the industry of agency #recruitment, the FTC banning noncompetes in April 2024, has a decent but not earth shattering impact. Here's why I say that. In #recruiting businesses, the customary noncompete is 12 months long. For this reason, many people setting up recruitment firms have to leave their old market otherwise face the scary threat of litigation. This threat of litigation, for a new business owner especially, is terrifying. Beyond getting lawyers involved and their limitless bills, the bigger issue is the emotional toll new agency owners go through when leaving their old agency. I'd argue, the emotional toll of being labeled a thief of IP (intellectual property) is a bigger deal. For many people with self dignity and pride, being dragged through the mud is something they'd avoid even if it means financial loss. This is why many top billers have taken a whole gap year before setting up their recruiting business. Other top billers operate outside of their noncompete limits (i.e. going after new clients) then snatch up their old relationships naturally as the heat is off their back with every month passing. For me, certainly in 2016 Jan when I quit my old agency, I wouldn't DARE set up a recruitment firm in the market that I painstakingly built. If you dare to call your old clients or EVEN IF they approached you, you could be sued by these huge recruitment agencies worth hundreds of millions. They'd take you out before you even launch! Additionally, some recruiting owners/leaders are quite vindictive and will make an example of you to scare the rest of their remaining staff. It's quite possibly the nastiest element of running a recruitment biz. Now, with noncompetes banned, firms no longer can claim ownership of clients. If the client really enjoys working with the firm itself, the client wouldn't leave the firm. Firms wouldn't be so scared of noncompetes being banned if they truly were an amazing FIRM for clients to turn to. But often, that isn't the case. This is why the banning of noncompetes is finally fair. All this being said, why aren't all recruiters going to just rush out and set up their own LLCs right now? Because running your own business is STILL a crap ton of work. Most people are still better off being a highly paid w2. The marginal financial gain while not insignificant isn't worth the exponential pain of running a business to many people. And I also completely get that. So that is why I say, the banning of noncompetes moves the needle, but only a tiny bit. Just look at California with noncompetes banned for the longest time. Most agency recruiters there don't set up recruiting businesses either. Many stay an employee. That aside, another positive outcome of the ban is this: Firms will have to behave. If they treat their staff too badly or pay too low, they face the very real threat of losing their staff. What do you think? #r2r #rec2rec #sales #recruiters #headhunter #headhunters #recruiter

Jax 5.0 has arrived here at Jobot! OG Jax has experienced all 5 iterations of Jax the software. When asked what his thoughts are about the Jax 5.0 release, he went on to say... "Jax 5.0 brings all the great features from 1-4 and adds that 5.0 punch to it! My only suggestion would be to integrate more high protein treats!" OK, OG Jax didn't actually say that, but he is certainly hoping for more treats (: #recruiting #recruitment #staffing #changinglives

PR Agencies with lengthy, drawn-out hiring processes risk losing out on the best candidates to nimbler competitors. 😴😴😴😴😴😴😴 The risks of a prolonged hiring process are numerous: Candidate drop-off: High-caliber candidates are typically juggling multiple opportunities. The longer a company takes to make a decision, the greater the chances the candidate accepts another offer. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Negative candidate experience: Making candidates jump through endless hoops and interviews sends the wrong message about your company's culture and values.🤾‍♀️🤾‍♀️🤾‍♀️🤾‍♀️🤾‍♀️🤾‍♀️🤾‍♀️ Opportunity cost: While a great candidate is stuck in your hiring pipeline, your competitors may scoop them up, leaving you to restart the search.🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️ Loss of momentum: A lengthy process can kill the initial excitement a candidate felt about the role, leaving them disengaged by the time an offer is extended.🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱 The solution? Streamline your hiring workflow, minimize unnecessary steps, and be ready to move quickly when you identify a great fit. ✅✅✅✅✅
