Recruitment
Juice Ltd, leading supplier of innovative DVD training programs to the
recruitment industry, has created yet another buzz in the industry with the launch
of a very successful first event which brought the Juice brand and culture
alive for all recruiters who attended.
The event, which
took place in central London last week, was presented by Roy Ripper, host of
their DVD programs and guest speakers; Gavin Ingham, renowned author and
motivational speaker, Dan McGuire, MD of Broadbean and Ann Swain, CEO of
APSCo.
The half-day
event focused purely on new business
generation but Recruitment Juice wanted to ensure that it was a little different
to the usual recruitment seminar offering out there. What follows is an excerpt
from the well-know industry blogger who writes via his blog site www.recruitmentdad.com and who
attended as a delegate and saw first hand how they achieved this.
“So, how was it
you ask? Excellent. My initial curiosity as to how they would keep the
Recruitment Juice “feel” was satisfied almost immediately. Ten minutes into the
morning whilst Dan McGuire, MD of Broadbean, was launching
the day there was a late arrival. As a trainer and presenter there is
nothing worse than late attendees. Even worse is when they don’t seem bothered.
This guy walked in, on his mobile, acknowledged the room and carried on
talking! It was none other than Wayne Kerr from Sunshine recruitment. Wayne
stayed for the day and I had the pleasure of his company on my table for much
of the group work we did and he certainly lives up to his reputation in the
Recruitment Juice DVDs – Remember the Wayne Kerr fee dance? A great touch to
keep the Juice feel and nicely done with interruptions from Wayne through the
day without causing too much distraction.
The quality of
the material in the presentations was excellent, short punchy sessions with
group activities (working with Wayne on the top 10 words that would describe
him when he is at the top of his game was priceless) that added real value – a
message that came across loud and clear from the delegates I spoke to at
different tables during the break.
The mixture of
sessions between Roy and Gavin added variety and kept interest levels high –
Gavin primarily looking at more attitudinal and linguistic techniques and Roy
with practical recruitment activities. Each of their sessions was content rich
and with 15 years in this industry, I left with 26 (just counted) pages of
notes and can honestly say I learned things as well as enjoyed things on the
day.
Highlights for
me?
Roy’s
piece on MPC marketing (Most placeable candidates) was spot on the money and something I have championed everywhere I have
worked since being introduced to the MPC concept when I started in executive
search. Roy is right – any of you veterans out there who think you don’t need
to market out candidates or do Spec calls because you’re experienced? You’re
making a mistake.
Gavin’s
objection handling session will have been
massively beneficial for many in the room as I know as a trainer I am
constantly asked about objection handling. Also pleasing that he has similar
views to me on power techniques from the 80’s being out of date and is as much
an advocate for feel, felt, found as I am.
Wayne
Kerr’s attendance added some Juice to the day
and his own training venture Wayne’s Winning Ways (www.www.com) sounds like
another “genius” idea.
In conclusion,
this was a well constructed, highly informative, massively enjoyable session
and I for one will definitely attend future Recruitment Juice live events. For
those of you who went I am sure you share my sentiments and those of you who
didn’t make sure you go to the next! Roy and Matt have an excellent product and
I am sure that there will be much more coming out from the Recruitment Juice
stable (should that be orchard or grove or something instead??) to keep us
hooked. My final confession…I am going to get hold of a copy of the ‘Juicy Bits
of New Business’ from Recruitment Juice.”
