The purpose of Recruitment Bootcamp is to help those that are willing to adopt a different approach to recruitment. To learn how to be more effective, more efficient, more appealing to their potential employees and to recruit properly!
In all honesty, recruitment should be fun! People who are recruiting should be thinking “I’m so pleased and excited that we’ve got an opportunity to get a great new person into the team“ – and really mean it!
You will learn all sorts of skills, will be given information you may never have even thought about, you’ll finish the course with a plan, and with a clear direction on how you want to recruit people for your business, and who those people are!
You can share the details of one of your current or your next vacancy and Liz will help you in the recruitment of that particular role, included in the cost of the Recruitment Bootcamp membership. This will include using the vast network of Moxie and Mettle to find your new person, that’s a powerful offer!
Key People
Liz Gadd
“For most of my recruitment career, I have been at times astounded and in some cases, outraged at bad recruitment practices by employers! I’ve been critical of behaviours and attitudes, I’ve been bothered at the things some people have said during a recruitment interview. All sorts of parts of the process have been challenging due to inappropriate or discriminatory process, in particular unconscious bias. Many times I’m just been frustrated that recruiting managers/directors just “don’t get the obvious” – and I’ve tried to do my bit to educate, advise, encourage and coach people, as have my teams over the years. On the flipside, I’ve worked with some amazing clients who do most things perfectly but don’t always get the results due to just not knowing how to tweak or change the process to suit the particular market conditions.” Until Recruitment Bootcamp, we have only been able to influence those we work directly with, and maybe a few others by posting a blog or two…but it’s not enough to change the world, and that’s our plan, one Recruitment Bootcamp at a time!

Having been witness to so many instances of recruitment being handled really badly or unprofessionally, whether down to genuine naivety or lack of experience in the process, the idea of Recruitment Bootcamp has now become a reality. The Recruitment Bootcamp team want to help companies look at their recruitment processes and help them understand how to manage it smoothly and effectively, and to save time and money along the way. “Recruitment has changed so much over the past twenty years, gone are the days of meeting all the candidates face to face and sending CVs out in the post, it’s an instantaneous market now, everyone wants immediate action and results”. “We‘ve adapted how we work but the core principles of recruitment remain the same for us, we still apply the old school approach of personally matching candidates to job briefs rather than relying on generic database searches that so many people use.”
