In this episode of "The Elite Recruiter Podcast" host Benjamin welcomes special guest Tricia Tamkin, a seasoned recruiter and coach, to discuss how recruiters can increase their success through writing effective job postings and providing impactful coaching services. Tricia shares valuable insights, personal experiences, and practical tips for recruiters who want to optimize their recruitment strategies.

Tricia opens the conversation by highlighting success stories, such as a client who increased their billing from $150,000 to $600,000 within a year. This achievement is not mere luck but a result of strategic guidance and support. Tricia shares how they assisted clients in launching new business units that generate significant revenue outside of recruiting, demonstrating their ability to provide diverse business solutions.


One notable case study involves helping a corporate client transition from being an employee to owning their own business. Tricia guides listeners through the process of assisting with resignation, launching the business, and acquiring new clients. They stress that the fee structure for this particular client differed due to their unique circumstances and reputation.

Tricia's expertise in crafting job postings is evident as they delve into the power of search engine optimization (SEO) in attracting the right candidates.

Tricia shares personal recommendations for books that have influenced their approach as a recruiter and coach. While initially mentioning "The Road Less Stupid" by Keith Cunningham, they ultimately recommend "The Four Hour Work Week" by Tim Ferriss. This book challenged their thinking and helped them make significant changes to their business, such as firing employees and outsourcing various functions. The result was becoming more effective in closing deals and focusing on high-value activities that drive success.

Moving beyond job postings and coaching, Tricia delves into the importance of securing meetings in the business development process. They emphasize the need to focus solely on securing the meeting, rather than trying to sell the value proposition or process outright. They contrast this approach with the traditional "dialing for dollars" method, highlighting the industry's shift towards more efficient and targeted strategies.


Join Benjamin and Tricia as they dive deep into the world of recruitment, offering indispensable advice to enhance your recruiting strategies and drive success in the evolving job market.
