Great session from Patricia Maroto Gómez and an important reminder about posting content that aligns with themes you genuinely believe in (not just Crystal Palace). The Region is driving demand for RPO/embedded solutions, but most approach with a misconception. They view embedded/RPO as simply placing a recruiter on-site at internal talent acquisition costs. This is the knowledge gap we’re addressing. When you embed Halian, you’re not hiring a recruiter but accessing Halian as a Service. Our entire recruitment ecosystem backs your dedicated client partner: global sourcing networks, AI-enabled tools, proprietary candidate databases, and proven methodologies refined across thousands of placements worldwide. The fundamental difference is between infrastructure and the individual. You’re not paying for a person. You’re investing in proven recruitment infrastructure that delivers faster fills, higher quality candidates, and scalable capacity without the overhead of building these capabilities internally. Halian as a Service (HaaS) 😜

If sales in staffing feels harder than ever right now… you’re not imagining it. Between shifting client expectations, tighter margins, and an overload of “new ways” to sell, it’s easy to feel like the playbook keeps changing. That’s exactly why you need to be in the room for this Sales Panel at the Midwest Staffing Conference (April 22–23 | Oak Brook, IL). This won’t be theory. It’s a real conversation with industry pros tackling what’s actually working right now: 🔹 What does successful prospecting really look like today? 🔹 Do phone calls still work—or is email the smarter play? 🔹 Is networking still worth your time… or overrated? 🔹 How do you stay ahead when everything in staffing keeps evolving? 🔹 Navigating margin pressure without losing business 🔹 How much “control” do clients expect—and how do you manage it? No fluff. No recycled advice. Just honest insights you can take back and use immediately. If you’re in sales, leadership, or business development, this is one of those sessions that can shift your entire approach. 📍 Midwest Staffing Conference 📅 April 22–23, 2026 📌 Oak Brook, IL Come ready to rethink what’s working—and walk away with a smarter strategy. Panelists: Maureen OBRIEN, Mark Winter, Ziba Alizadeh, CIR ACIR CSC CSP Moderator: Kleopatra P.

Some businesses build teams. Joe Yantachka built a family at Partyman Catering, where seasonal workers can become 20-year veterans. His secret? Focusing on people while Paychex handles the behind-the-scenes work.

“I need to think about it” is rarely the real objection. It’s usually a symptom of an inconsistent pipeline: • Slow follow-up • Missed conversations • No clear process Those gaps cost agents deals every month. This short breaks down where pipelines fail — and how professionals fix it. #realestateprofessionals #salespipeline #leadmanagement #realestategrowth #businesssystems #agentmindset #realestatemarketing

Your CRM has the answer to why quota got missed. Nobody's pulled it yet. Sculptor changes that. Here's how we use it: 1️⃣ Import closed-lost deals into a table 2️⃣ Pull in call transcripts from Gong 3️⃣ Classify the loss reason for each deal 4️⃣ Run Sculptor's Analyst mode across all deals 5️⃣ Download the report straight into Notion

Promoting your top AE to team lead? Don’t let them fail because you didn’t prep them. Taylor Martino lays out what every new sales manager needs to master in their first 90 days from identity shift to coaching 1:1s. One of the most useful frameworks I’ve seen for early-stage GTM teams.

📉 THE REBALANCING: February 2026 Market Update The "Talent Scarcity" era has officially shifted. As of this week, we’ve hit a major turning point: The Ratio Reversal. 🔄 For the first time since the post-pandemic recovery began, there are now more people looking for work than there are open roles. 🔍 What does "Ratio: 0.9" actually mean? In 2022, the ratio was 2.0 (2 jobs for every 1 seeker). It was a "sellers' market" for talent. Today’s 0.9 ratio means for every 10 people looking for work, there are only 9 open roles. The result? The "musical chairs" of the labor market just got much more competitive. We've moved from a talent shortage to a hiring surplus. Whether you’re a CEO, a hiring manager, or a job seeker, here is what this February "vibe shift" means for you: 🚀 The Application Surge Candidate volume is up 31% since January. If you’re hiring, the challenge isn't "finding" people—it’s filtering through the noise to identify the Top 1%. ⏳ Quality > Speed The "hire fast, fix later" mentality is gone. Employers are being surgical, hunting for AI-ready specialists. For candidates, "tailoring your story" is now a requirement, not an option. 🏗️ The Sector Split It’s a tale of two markets. While Healthcare & Construction are still sprinting (+156k combined), Finance & Tech are in a strategic "holding pattern." 💡 The 2026 Strategy: In a high-leverage market, speed is no longer the metric—Alignment is. The winners this year won't be the ones who hire the fastest, but those who use this surplus to build the highest talent density. Are you feeling the "Application Surge" yet? Are you finding it easier to hire, or just harder to choose? 💬👇 Feb 2026 Market Deep Dive by Indeed Hiring Lab: https://lnkd.in/eCGgdXrV #LaborMarket2026 #FutureOfWork #Randstad #HiringTrends #WorkforceStrategy #Recruiting #Staffing #Talent #Jobs #Hiring Randstad USA

“Crushed quota” doesn’t mean much if no one can prove it. Here’s how top reps get recruiter callbacks in 30 seconds: Most sales resumes sound the same. “100% to quota.” “Closed $500K SaaS deals.” “Top 10% of team.” But hiring managers don’t know what’s real—and what’s fluffed. I’ve spent years in tech sales. Good reps get ignored. Flashy resumes get interviews. It’s broken. Then I started logging my wins on VeriDeal. Each closed deal gets verified. Recruiters see what I’ve sold, who I’ve sold to, and how often I’ve won. Now, instead of explaining why I’m good, I show receipts. It flips the script: - No more guessing. - No more fights with ATS bots. - No more “talking your way in.” It’s free. It takes 2 minutes per deal. Start with your last big win. Log it today. Then update your VeriDeal profile on your next application. You’ll stand out before saying a word.

You can either wait to see what’s next in recruitment, or you can shape it yourself. John Fetick, Manager of Centralized Sourcing at Talent Solutions RPO, explains why relying on "the way we've always done things" is no longer enough. Think beyond automating tasks. John shows how AI-enabled recruitment leads to faster, more precise candidate matching and hyper-personalized talent engagement. There’s so much more to recruitment than incremental improvements. See how you can move into true transformation with an AI-enabled strategy that brings technology and recruitment together. Read John's full blog. #AIRecruiting #TalentAcquisition #RPO #FutureOfWork
