“Good couple of days. Learnt a lot and had good fun. Warren managed to make the days very enjoyable and has certainly improved my knowledge and skill set for the job which I shall now try and portray in my career in recruitment. Many Thanks.”
“I came to this course with no knowledge in recruitment but since attending, I feel I have a great understanding of what recruitment is about and I feel so much more confident!”
Background
There is an old question that goes “What if I spend money on training my staff and they then leave?” and the answer is “What if I don’t and they stay?” Too many new recruits don’t get the help and guidance they deserve when they first join a company – it’s the quick whirl round the office meeting a few people, getting shown the basics of how the database works, listening to how their new colleagues make a few calls and then they are let loose. If you want your next hire to make a positive contribution early and to consistently deliver good results in the months and years to come, then giving them quality training in their first few weeks is vital. A well thought out and structured introduction to recruitment is key to future success.
Training is a big investment of your time and money. Recruitment Matters International believe that in order to get the very best out of training, attention and concentration is everything. That’s why we’ve condensed our induction programme into two days. Any longer, and minds can wander and money and time spent isn’t fully optimised. Experience has taught us that a maximum two days in a focussed learning environment really works. In the current climate having grounding in what’s needed to succeed in recruitment is simply crucial.
Who should attend?
‘Two Day Induction’ is an introduction to the recruitment process and the key skills involved. Ideal for those entering recruitment for the first time or recruiters with limited experience who wish to formalise their initial learning. Suggested experience level : 0-12 months

Managing People and Motivating Teams
“It’s amazing how much you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit”
Harry Truman, US President (1945-53)
“Very enjoyable and informative, gave lots of food for thought and I have provided positive feedback to our company directors.”
“I went into the course with management experience, and whilst a lot of the content I had heard/read previously, there were several ‘light bulb’ moments for me thanks to the way that the training was delivered.”
Overview
One of the most difficult management challenges there is in recruitment is to run a billing desk and find time to look after others at the same time. Getting the balance right isn’t easy. Yet, by consistently following some simple rules, and having the knowledge of when and how to get involved with those reporting to you, it is something that can be relatively straightforward. With all of us facing some challenging times ahead, it isn’t simply good management but great motivational skills, too, that will help make the difference.
Who should attend?
This one-day introduction to managing & motivating people and teams is ideal for recruiters who are new to management and for the more experienced manager who has perhaps been self taught or had no formal training.
Course Outline
- Qualities of great motivators & managers
- Self evaluation & action plan for self development
- Evaluation of your people/team
- Time management, prioritisation & delegation
- Managing & mentoring by coaching
- Active listening

How to find the very best candidates – whatever methodology is needed
“Great course. Job well done. Thank you.”
“Was a fantastic course – continually engaging, have learnt a great deal and has had an immediate impact on my working practices. Highly recommended!”
This course is aimed at Resourcers, Researchers and candidate-facing Recruiters. This is an in-depth research course to help you identify and approach ‘A’ grade candidates and includes all methodologies.
If you want more of an overview and help with the process of a search campaign, including client management, then our Successful Head-Hunting course is more appropriate. If you wish to learn how to win an assignment and sell search, then our Selling Executive Search and Winning Retained Assignments course is right for you. If you need any help in choosing the best option, please contact us.
With technology constantly being improved and social media becoming ever more accurate, being able to attract and source the very best candidates – and quickly – for your vacancies is vital. The recruiter’s bar keeps being raised. Maximising your chances of success means that today’s successful recruiter has to be able to blend the old with the new and the current with the cutting edge. Your existing database is still the first place to look of course. But if that 4 year old CV doesn’t quite fit the vacancy criteria, being able to quickly & proactively source that same individual’s most recent details might just help you produce a quality candidate for the role. Should we now ignore the job boards? After all, there are now so many potentially blurring what works? No of course not – but you do have to be able to identify the most appropriate one(s) and write killer ads if you are going to get that quality applicant at the start of their search. And if that still isn’t producing you the star candidate? Then you have to step up to the plate and go find them!
This one day course will explore and deal with how best to:
- Utilise your database
- Write winning adverts
- Have candidates coming to you via social media (LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.)
- Via social media, identify individuals you want to approach
- How to build a strong network
- Use Boolean logic and X-ray techniques to find information & people
- Have a robust and proactive candidate sourcing process & pipeline
- Introduce yourself positively both online & over the telephone
- Become your sector’s recruiter of choice

Learn how to screen potential candidates from a long list & then interview both face to face and over the telephone.
Significantly improve your candidate to placement ratio through greater candidate control and enhanced recruitment process.
“All around it was a great course, good references, put into great context with who was in attendance on the day. Good size class. Was very pleased. Great value for money.”
Overview
With more and more job seekers continuing to come onto the market, and seemingly happy to take any suitable job, it has never been more important to get the right information quickly. According to the AGR (Association of Graduate Recruitment) we are experiencing some of the highest ever levels of candidate drop out.
Just because they are technically competent, keen and available, doesn’t make them the right fit. Your time needs to be spent wisely and candidates both in and out of work can be a major source of information regarding your market. Remember a stunning candidate will still help open doors for you.
This course aims to give your consultants a more transparent, controlled and structured approach to candidate qualification and management, ultimately resulting in improved billings and a significantly improved candidate to placement ratio.
- Fine-tune your interviewing skills both face to face and over the phone.
- Understand the basis & structure of a well-planned interview.
- Learn how to use behavioural based questioning and conduct competency based interviews.
- Confidently gain rapport and uncover the candidate’s true motivators
- Analyse candidate information to plan effective questioning.
- Comfortably & quickly screen the candidate so you spend time with the right individuals and build long term contacts.
- Gain the confidence to know when “it’s a fit”.
- Consistently reduce candidate drop out levels including controlling the counter offer.
- Learn how to manage and control the recruitment process.
- Understand the top 6 legislations to safeguard you, your candidates and your clients.
- Compile a portfolio of interview skills and techniques to adapt to any situation.
Who should attend?
This one day course is ideal for anyone whose role incorporates candidate screening, interviewing and presentation including line managers/hiring authorities in the corporate environment. Additionally, managers and team leaders who are responsible for training their team in recruitment techniques will gain huge benefit from interviewing being broken down into manageable, understandable and measurable chunks. Or perhaps, after years of asking the same questions, you just need a refresher?
The Agenda
- Taking an effective job order
- Understanding which sourcing methodology to use
- Pre-screening & vetting from the CV
- Screening over the phone
- Interview structure
- Behavioural questioning & competency based interviewing
- Management & Control

Manage your time & maximise your profits while satisfying both your temps and your clients.
“A good mixture of listen and learn, and interaction. The time went very quickly. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and have recommended RMI to my Directors. I am now looking forward to working through the training videos.”
“This is the second RMI course that I have been on and they have both been excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending RMI and would love to attend more courses in the future.”
Overview
The role of the temp consultant is quite different to that of the permanent recruiter. While both temp & perm recruiters ultimately are sourcing and matching people to jobs and vice versa, for the temp consultant:
- Timescales to deliver are shorter – how can you fill bookings within a matter of minutes rather than days?
- Liability for candidate screening and compliance lies with the recruiter – how do you manage the admin burden?
- Legislative requirements around temp recruitment are more onerous – how can you turn that to your advantage?
- Fee calculations can be more complex – how can you calculate and quote them with confidence?
- Temp recruitment doesn’t end once the candidate starts – how can you manage your talent pool efficiently?
- In a candidate-short market, how can you attract the best candidates to temp for you rather than your competitors?
Course content
At the end of the course, participants will:
- Know how to define their chosen market
- Access a wide range of candidate sources
- Implement an effective candidate registration process and lay the foundations for candidate management
- Know how to take a good quality assignment brief
- Book candidates out on assignment quickly and effectively
- Operate effective quality management processes
- Be able to offer added value services that differentiate their service from other recruiters
- Have a strategy for building the profitability of their temp desk
- Be aware of the legal requirements surrounding running a temp desk
- Know how to calculate pay and charge – including the difference between mark-ups and margins
- Understand how to measure their effectiveness
- Appreciate the context of the UK Temps Market
- Be aware of why clients use temps
- Understand what makes a successful temp desk

Opening up and building upon key client relationships
The Current Climate
Things continue to look increasingly optimistic. However, recruiters are, in many cases, still not the first choice for organisations that are hiring. For many of their vacancies they would rather advertise for themselves, use internal referral systems or utilise the government’s jobseeker programmes. Quite often, you get a chance only when those methods fail. Of course, for senior roles or difficult to find vacancies recruiters do come into play, but the client wants it at the cheapest rate possible. And if that isn’t bad enough, your competition has become hotter and hotter over the last year or two, with too many flat fee and online options springing up. Aaaarrghh!! Too few recruiters in recent years have had to be at the top of their game when it comes to business development skills. Now, more and more recruiters have realised that even their key accounts are not so stable.
The solution
Let us train you and/or some of your team how to really master the art of business development and true account management. We will teach you how to ask the right questions and spot the right openings. You will learn how to prepare the ground for a truly effective telephone call and build a long term relationship (while getting quick gains too). In fact, we are so sure that you will get so much from this course we are offering you 100% money back guarantee, if you are less than satisfied
Course Content

Why Headhunt?
With 25% of the market looking to move at any one time you may feel that there are enough job seekers to go around. The problem for you with that 25% of people is that they are actively looking for work and will have other irons in their fire. The odds are in the candidate’s favour and not in yours and your client’s. So, if you want to be able to discuss job opportunities and career steps with the other 75%, you had better be able to head-hunt. NB Head-hunting is much more than sending someone a message on LinkedIn. There is a skill and an art to engaging with and approaching the passive prospect.
Being able to head-hunt allows you to handle those vacancies and assignments that you would otherwise find impossible. It really does ensure that the candidates you put forward to your clients are the best available. Head-hunted candidates are highly unlikely to be presented to your client by your competitors, even when sharing a contingent assignment. Executive Search techniques are as applicable for junior positions as they are for senior ones. Head-hunting can help you get full fee assignments on a retained basis too.
Who should attend?
This busy one day participative executive search training course is suitable for consultants (both external & internal) wishing to add head-hunting / executive search to their skill set (with a good understanding of recruitment) or for experienced search consultants wishing to formalise their knowledge.
Subject Matter on the day to include:
Managing client expectations – Be able to explain to potential clients what is possible and within what timescales (and gain their buy in). Headhunting cannot produce the impossible. As a consultant it is your job to give best practice advice. This session will help enhance the hiring authority & consultant relationship and ensure there is a clear road map to success.
Head-Hunting methodology; managing the process; ethics – Learn how to manage an assignment in a professional logical manner ensuring continuity and consistency of results and enhance your own reputation along the way.
Name gathering – including market mapping utilising both the phone and the internet – Being able to identify and target an effective list of potential contacts will ensure the success of the assignment. Doing it in a timely way is vital.
Due diligence & building credibility – While the phone will be your main tool to approach your potential candidate, the internet is a valuable source for information about the person AND for them to check you out. There are some key steps that will be explained to help warm up your call.
Rapport, commitment & control – Those first few opening moments over the phone are crucial if you are to extend your ‘air time’ into a meaningful two way fact finding conversation. Although you cannot control people, you can control process and gaining the candidate’s commitment is the key. Learn the tried and tested ways to do just that.
The head-hunt call & subsequent conversations – Knowing what you are going to say is half the battle. Knowing how and when to say it is the other half. Few recruiters without formal head-hunt training really know just how to do that. Learn the methodology and psychology behind a truly effective opening to a prospective candidate and how to link information gathered from the candidate previously into each subsequent stage of the consultant/candidate relationship.
Overcoming objections and reactions – Practice really does make perfect. “Where did you get my name?”, “I’m happy where I am”, “Who’s your client?” and a dozen others come up time and time again. Being able to overcome these responses to the candidate’s satisfaction is the key to starting a long lasting business relationship. This session will give you the tools to do that.

“Good couple of days. Learnt a lot and had good fun. Warren managed to make the days very enjoyable and has certainly improved my knowledge and skill set for the job which I shall now try and portray in my career in recruitment. Many Thanks.”
“I came to this course with no knowledge in recruitment but since attending, I feel I have a great understanding of what recruitment is about and I feel so much more confident!”
Background
There is an old question that goes “What if I spend money on training my staff and they then leave?” and the answer is “What if I don’t and they stay?” Too many new recruits don’t get the help and guidance they deserve when they first join a company – it’s the quick whirl round the office meeting a few people, getting shown the basics of how the database works, listening to how their new colleagues make a few calls and then they are let loose. If you want your next hire to make a positive contribution early and to consistently deliver good results in the months and years to come, then giving them quality training in their first few weeks is vital. A well thought out and structured introduction to recruitment is key to future success.
Training is a big investment of your time and money. Recruitment Matters International believe that in order to get the very best out of training, attention and concentration is everything. That’s why we’ve condensed our induction programme into two days. Any longer, and minds can wander and money and time spent isn’t fully optimised. Experience has taught us that a maximum two days in a focussed learning environment really works. In the current climate having grounding in what’s needed to succeed in recruitment is simply crucial.
Who should attend?
‘Two Day Induction’ is an introduction to the recruitment process and the key skills involved. Ideal for those entering recruitment for the first time or recruiters with limited experience who wish to formalise their initial learning. Suggested experience level : 0-12 months

How to find the very best candidates – whatever methodology is needed
“Great course. Job well done. Thank you.”
“Was a fantastic course – continually engaging, have learnt a great deal and has had an immediate impact on my working practices. Highly recommended!”
This course is aimed at Resourcers, Researchers and candidate-facing Recruiters. This is an in-depth research course to help you identify and approach ‘A’ grade candidates and includes all methodologies.
If you want more of an overview and help with the process of a search campaign, including client management, then our Successful Head-Hunting course is more appropriate. If you wish to learn how to win an assignment and sell search, then our Selling Executive Search and Winning Retained Assignments course is right for you. If you need any help in choosing the best option, please contact us.
With technology constantly being improved and social media becoming ever more accurate, being able to attract and source the very best candidates – and quickly – for your vacancies is vital. The recruiter’s bar keeps being raised. Maximising your chances of success means that today’s successful recruiter has to be able to blend the old with the new and the current with the cutting edge. Your existing database is still the first place to look of course. But if that 4 year old CV doesn’t quite fit the vacancy criteria, being able to quickly & proactively source that same individual’s most recent details might just help you produce a quality candidate for the role. Should we now ignore the job boards? After all, there are now so many potentially blurring what works? No of course not – but you do have to be able to identify the most appropriate one(s) and write killer ads if you are going to get that quality applicant at the start of their search. And if that still isn’t producing you the star candidate? Then you have to step up to the plate and go find them!
This one day course will explore and deal with how best to:
- Utilise your database
- Write winning adverts
- Have candidates coming to you via social media (LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.)
- Via social media, identify individuals you want to approach
- How to build a strong network
- Use Boolean logic and X-ray techniques to find information & people
- Have a robust and proactive candidate sourcing process & pipeline
- Introduce yourself positively both online & over the telephone
- Become your sector’s recruiter of choice

“The course last week was a breath of fresh air and Neil won a £100k HR Director search for and I won a £200k Commercial Director search.”
“Excellent format, pace and approach to training. No role plays and condescending content, which make this a must for all experienced recruiters. Thoroughly recommended!!”
“Never before have I been on a course and come back with so many great practices and ideas. The ROI is incredible. It will also undoubtedly help us as a company decide on what business strategy to adopt and move forward with.”
Course Overview
Although not confined to the executive search arena, retained assignments predominantly go hand in hand with the need to headhunt a key role and/or a client paid advertising campaign. Winning a retainer is a difficult sell.
This course will address your issues and challenges in and around the retained market helping you to:-
- Identify potential retained clients & retained/exclusive opportunities
- Evaluate your competitors and where that places you
- Be aware of what clients look for in a retained recruitment partner
- Engage with clients – building up to a retainer
- Structure and prepare your pitch
- Understand & perfect the sales process both verbally & written (tenders)
- Effectively handle fee negotiation and types of retainers
- Produce an action plan to move forward
We have been training individuals and organisations in the art of the executive search, headhunting and the direct approach since 1998. Our Successful Head-Hunting training course is suitable for Executive Search firms and those wishing to add headhunting to their core offering (whether you sell it as a service to the client or not) and deliver quality candidates.
This Selling Executive Search & Winning Retained and Exclusive Assignments one day course will give you the tools to sell those skills & methodology to your clients. Our lead trainer and MD Warren Kemp has trained more people and delivers more courses in headhunting and executive search than any other trainer around today.

Deliver impactful and inspiring presentations to your chosen audience
Why Attend?
Glossophobia – The fear of public speaking is well documented as one of the top three fears for your average person in the UK. That’s OK if you don’t have that in your job description!
The average recruiter gets more chances to speak in front of an ‘audience’ than most. That audience can be internal, external or both.
People who present naturally are in a very small minority. Those that ‘seem’ to do it naturally have spent time learning and practising their craft to get that good. Businesses and people who want to achieve their goals will do that better when presentations, pitches and messages are delivered in an inspirational and impactful manner.
Who is this for?
This busy one day fully participative presentation skills course is suitable for Owners, Directors, Managers and Team Leaders who run company/team meetings and/or whose role is to inspire those around them to deliver results. In addition, it will be as highly relevant for anyone and everyone responsible for business development via client pitches and presentations.
Note: Numbers are restricted to six people only.
Subject Matter on the day to include:
- Content writing
- Presenting
- Dealing with challenges, both expected and unexpected
- How to hold an audience with no aids or props
- Delivering compelling and inspirational messages
The Trainer
Warren Kemp is one of the most sought after presenters and specialist trainers around today. He has been presenting and training individuals and organisations for some 20 years. Speaking engagements at major industry events have been delivered in Latvia, Hungary, Estonia, Bulgaria, The Netherlands, Greece, Ireland, Germany, Spain and the UK.

Managing People and Motivating Teams
“It’s amazing how much you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit”
Harry Truman, US President (1945-53)
“Very enjoyable and informative, gave lots of food for thought and I have provided positive feedback to our company directors.”
“I went into the course with management experience, and whilst a lot of the content I had heard/read previously, there were several ‘light bulb’ moments for me thanks to the way that the training was delivered.”
Overview
One of the most difficult management challenges there is in recruitment is to run a billing desk and find time to look after others at the same time. Getting the balance right isn’t easy. Yet, by consistently following some simple rules, and having the knowledge of when and how to get involved with those reporting to you, it is something that can be relatively straightforward. With all of us facing some challenging times ahead, it isn’t simply good management but great motivational skills, too, that will help make the difference.
Who should attend?
This one-day introduction to managing & motivating people and teams is ideal for recruiters who are new to management and for the more experienced manager who has perhaps been self taught or had no formal training.
Course Outline
- Qualities of great motivators & managers
- Self evaluation & action plan for self development
- Evaluation of your people/team
- Time management, prioritisation & delegation
- Managing & mentoring by coaching
- Active listening
- Motivating teams and individuals in difficult circumstances

Opening up and building upon key client relationships The Current Climate Things continue to look increasingly optimistic. However, recruiters are, in many cases, still not the first choice for organisations that are hiring. For many of their vacancies they would rather advertise for themselves, use internal referral systems or utilise the government’s jobseeker programmes. Quite often, you get a chance only when those methods fail. Of course, for senior roles or difficult to find vacancies recruiters do come into play, but the client wants it at the cheapest rate possible. And if that isn’t bad enough, your competition has become hotter and hotter over the last year or two, with too many flat fee and online options springing up. Aaaarrghh!! Too few recruiters in recent years have had to be at the top of[...]

Executing a Successful Head-Hunting Assignment
@ London
Apr 17 @ 9:30 am – 5:00 pm
Why Headhunt? With 25% of the market looking to move at any one time you may feel that there are enough job seekers to go around. The problem for you with that 25% of people is that they are actively looking for work and will have other irons in their fire. The odds are in the candidate’s favour and not in yours and your client’s. So, if you want to be able to discuss job opportunities and career steps with the other 75%, you had better be able to head-hunt. NB Head-hunting is much more than sending someone a message on LinkedIn. There is a skill and an art to engaging with and approaching the passive prospect. Being able to head-hunt allows you to handle those vacancies and assignments that[...]
