Why We Started TalentFeed

Almost ten years of working in the recruitment industry inspired us to try and do something different.

I’d heard the same client complaints time and time again, the experience that working with an agency would mean too many cold calls; unnecessary meetings; poorly qualified and un-committed candidates etc the list could go on…

I collected feedback from my clients about everything they hated about recruiters then I wanted to make it my mission to not do them.

Our sole focus is providing an excellent customer service with a clear and flexible pricing model.

Feedback we gathered over 10 years

Here's a list of feedback we received from HR Directors, Managing Directors, Line Managers and others involved with recruiting:

• Too many cold calls and not taking no for an answer
• Assuming i don't have the skills to recruit internally
• Asking for feedback the second an interview is over
• Constant phone messages and calls
• Emailing and calling 5 minutes later
• Understanding that HR can't always control how quickly feedback is given, honesty and openness
• Kept getting requests for pointless meetings
• The recruiters always sounded a bit to flash harry for me, which put you on your guard all the time as you just felt you were being oversold to
• The recruiters always left loud messages on my phone, without a clear message and too many of them I started deleting them
• The recruiters always drill me for what's going on, where I would have given it freely if we had built a relationship. They needed to work on the personal stuff and building more of a rapport
• On the whole though they weren't a bad bunch but to separate you, simply be friendly, courteous and understand time constraints
• Incorrect setting of salary expectations
• Being bugged on daily basis!

Our experienced recruiters know their markets in-depth, a company who is always looking at innovative approaches and embracing the fast pace of change!

For example, we pioneered the use of social recruiting techniques which we were doing way before every other recruiter. It seems now everyone is an expert in social media and social recruiting!

We also pride ourselves on providing relevant and interesting content that helps the people we deal with do more and succeed, offering e-books, market data and interesting news / developments.

We’d love the opportunity to work with you and prove to you that we are different.
