The Advanced Recruiter Program runs across six group (webinar) sessions and one individual coaching session with Ross Clennett.

Purpose: Improve individual productivity, covering desk-level productivity and general work-life balance to maximise the likelihood that each participant views agency recruitment (and, hopefully, their current employer) as aligned with their long term career goals.

Specific content:

  • Review and benchmarking of personal billings and KPIs
  • The six competencies of long term high performers in agency recruitment
  • Work-life balance – the research on when to push and when to rest
  • The two things that the elite sales professionals do better than the other 93% of salespeople
  • The One Per Cent Rule – how being consistently just slightly better than your competitors leads to outsized rewards (Winner Takes All Effect)
  • The five types of salespeople (including the most, and least successful profile – which one are you?)
  • The mindset and approach of the best salespeople
  • Reframing – how to change the conversation with prospects and clients from one of ‘filling jobs with candidates’ (because that’s what all your competitors say)
  • The two biggest lies clients tell themselves (and how you can educate them differently)
  • The importance of momentum – how to create it and how to recognise the black holes that becalm your best attempts to fill a job quickly
  • The 11 critical components of the assignment brief that set up the assignment for maximum speed, quality and results
  • The ten most important aspects of keeping candidates on-side during the recruitment process
  • Advanced interviewing techniques - how to prove you are better than your competitors at identifying the best candidates
  • The SEEC technique - presenting candidates to maximise all client-candidate interviews are booked and undertaken quickly
  • The order of interviews – when it matters, and when it doesn’t, to have your client interview your best candidate last
  • The ‘comparison’ candidate(s) – how to most effectively handle the dreaded client question; “Who else have you got?”
  • The year in review – the stats that recruiters, typically, don’t look at (but should)
  • Your online presence – are you missing out on what savvy recruiters do online
  • Program review and completion

 

The program material is drawn from the breakthrough research (Corporate Executive Board, 2009) in the area of individual sales performance.

Format: The program is typically delivered as six two-hour webinar sessions (GoToWebianr or Zoom) plus one individual session of 45 minutes

This is a program that will require a commitment to attend all sessions and complete all the specified assignments between each session.

All participants completing the program receive a Certificate of Attendance that is recognised by the RCSA (Aus & NZ) as worth 20 points towards gaining or maintaining professional accreditation.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Advanced Recruiter Course which was run by Ross in the latter part of 2020. The sessions provided great insight and learning material to enhance my confidence and provide me with a "can do" attitude to take me to the next level of recruitment. The sessions were engaging and Ross simply had a style that connected the participants that were taking part across Australia. Thank you Ross I am thoroughly enjoying my work and using some of your principles and insights!

As CEO of one NZ s largest recruitment agencies, it was important that I engaged with a coach trainer facilitator that would provide training and development to our business because they understood the industry and truly had an appreciation of what it takes to run a high performing recruitment desk and lead a high performing team.

I highly recommend Ross.

I have been absolutely blown away with my results in June 2016. I’ve helped 9 outstanding candidates start with eight clients in the month and 4 long term contractors with another three clients. It has far exceeded my expectations and is my best-ever monthly result in just over 11 years of recruitment.

It’s a DIRECT result of the confidence I have gained and the insights and tips from participating in Ross’s Advanced Recruitment Program (ARP). I can promise similar results to other experienced Recruiters who can actively participate, listen and apply the content of this course. I have a confidence about myself and abilities that I have never had before.

I have throughout my 11 years as a recruiter continually attended training courses, breakfast seminars and online webinars, Ross’s ARP has been the most effective training I have EVER completed.

I undertook Ross Clennett’s Advanced Recruiter Training Program and would highly recommend his courses to recruitment professionals looking to improve and develop their own career.

It’s clear that Ross has a wealth of knowledge and experience that he’s more than happy to share with students.

His course was extremely educational and engaging and provided me with a number of tips and improvements that I have been able to implement in my day-to-day activities that have already resulted in positive outcomes.

I highly recommend Ross Clennett! I recently completed an advanced recruiter training program led by Ross, and the experience was outstanding. While the coursework was of excellent quality, what truly set the program apart was Ross's engagement with participants.

No question was too difficult, obscure, or unanswerable. It quickly became clear that Ross possesses a deep well of knowledge and experience, which he draws upon to provide insightful and practical solutions. I definitely benefited from this expertise.

Ross brings value to recruitment professionals at any stage of their career. I look forward to the opportunity to work with him again soon.

I completed Ross's Advanced Recruiter Course recently and I could not speak more highly of it. The program was very collaborative and enjoyable, and provided me with the tools to help take my recruitment career to the next level.

Ross is an incredible teacher, and I found his teaching style to be very engaging. The information was clear, concise and insightful. Ross always spoke through practical examples and explained how we could apply these principles in our daily routines.

This wasn't just an ordinary webinar where you sit there and absorb information. You are actively participating with the group, and talking through scenarios.

I completed Ross’s Advanced Recruiter Program early this year and cannot recommend it,or him,more highly. After 19 years in recruitment, I felt the need to “sharpen the saw”, and this program was the perfect platform to do it.

The course compelled me to examine, refresh and improve my processes, challenged habits I had adopted over the years, and taught me new things about managing client relationships.

Ross was challenging, supportive and encouraging throughout, and I can even forgive the odd comment about “old dogs and new tricks”!
