It might sound too good to be true, but this approach is focussed on thoroughly qualifying every candidate that you put into the vacancy process. This means understanding all you can about the candidate’s team, leadership, peers and company. Obtain true motives for leaving, and have a clear picture of the complete environment in which each candidate works, as you qualify and prep them for a CV send.
These actions will enhance your reputation as a consultant with candidates, clients and your own team around you. So, reputational gain and performance acceleration, being a recruitment consultant in the true meaning of the word.

Understand your Client’s States of Mind
You cannot expect to truly sell successfully to different customers if you don’t understand their current state of mind.
This tool is equally valuable for recruitment company owners, business leaders and recruitment consultants. Understanding the different customer states of mind will in turn help you work effectively with organisations who operate and recruit in different ways.
Once you are working with the client, you can then decide to influence and drive a change of state in the client, to suit your purpose, and theirs. For example, securing an outsource service once you are clearly the leading supplier to the client.
The 5 States we have identified are:
- Chaotic
- Large PSL
- Small PSL
- MSP/RPO
- Insource/Inhouse
Consulting with Clients on the Ways of Working
Customer States was all about how to determine which state a client is in before/while you approach them and how you can handle them as an existing client to get the best out of the relationship.
The next step looks at the importance of customer states to the client and how as a consultant or business leader, you can sit down with the client and talk about the various ways they can operate their procurement/delivery of resources into their business and how you can advise them through that process.
In this article Churchie outlines the 6 operational states, and how to approach and influence the client in each one.

Business Planning with The Three Pillars
Planning the growth of a recruitment business isn’t just a matter of hiring more consultants and increasing capacity – you need the three pillars. These pillars have been tried and tested across industries and firm size.
They’ll give you a chance to step back and look at what you have achieved so far, understand why you have had the results and understand the market place before you just repeat the same again and again. The market changes, so we should adapt.
The Three Pillars are:
- The SKILLS you have inside the business
- The DIRECTION OF EFFORT in which you take those skills
- The AMOUNT OF EFFORT/the capacity to deliver activity and the amount of activity in each/every targeted action
The three pillars is an extremely effective activity to do annually and will determine the performance of the business each year and building on them will help you make changes and build on your strengths to reach next years targets.
