Ep 320 - Why the Best Recruiters Spend More Time in 'ELF Mode'
Easy. Lucrative. Fun. I’d never heard of ELF Mode until a casual conversation at the gym with a mate who has successfully built and sold multiple businesses. The more he explained it, the more I realised it’s one of the simplest and most powerful ways to think about building a successful recruitment desk. In this ep, I unpack the idea behind ELF Mode—doing work that’s Easy, Lucrative and Fun—and compare it to the opposite: HALF (Hard, Annoying, Lame and Frustrating). As recruiters, it’s easy to get caught up doing work that drains our energy without moving the needle. I’ll walk you through a simple framework to help you identify what’s worth doubling down on, what needs to go, and where AI, automation and delegation can help. Tune in for: 👉 What ELF Mode is and why it resonated with me 👉 Why so many recruiters unknowingly spend their time in HALF Mode 👉 How to identify the work that creates the biggest impact on your desk 👉 Which clients, projects and tasks might be costing you more than they’re worth 👉 How AI, automation and delegation can help you spend more time in your ELF zone 👉 A practical way to work smarter, earn more and enjoy recruitment again If you’re looking for a simple mindset shift that can make your recruitment desk more profitable AND more enjoyable, this ep is for you!

Most recruiters never check one of the most valuable reports inside LinkedIn Recruiter. Should you? Absolutely. In this episode, I break down LinkedIn’s average InMail response rate (27.5%) and show you exactly how to improve yours. Better response rates don’t just mean more conversations with candidates. They also help you retain InMail credits, improve your reach and ultimately make more placements. I’ll walk you through three practical changes you can make immediately to start lifting your response rate without relying on gimmicks or spammy messaging. Tune in for: 👉 Where to find your InMail response rate 👉 Why the 27.5% benchmark matters 👉 How to write endings that encourage more replies 👉 Why naming your client can dramatically improve engagement 👉 The hidden mistakes that are hurting your response rate 👉 How follow-up messages and calendar links can work against you If your response rate is below the benchmark, this episode gives you a simple plan to improve it. 👍 If you enjoyed the episode, like, subscribe and share it with another recruiter.

Ep 318 - The Recruitment Pipeline Rule You're Ignoring
How do you know if you’re actually on track... or if you’re quietly falling behind without realising it? In this ep, I share one of the simplest but most effective tools every recruiter should be using: a visible pipeline tracker. No fancy tech. No AI. No complicated dashboards. Just a straightforward way to keep your deals moving and ensure you’re always focused on the right activity. If your pipeline is hidden away inside your CRM, chances are you’re not looking at it often enough. The recruiters who stay on top of their numbers are the ones who can see exactly where every deal sits, identify bottlenecks quickly and take action before opportunities go stale. 🎯 Tune in for: 👉 Why every recruiter should have their pipeline visible at all times 👉 The four simple stages you need to track 👉 How to spot stalled deals before they become lost deals 👉 Why ”false hope” is one of the biggest dangers in recruitment 👉 The power of making your pipeline impossible to ignore 👉 How visibility creates urgency, focus and momentum Follow The Lone Recruiter for practical recruitment tips, business lessons and no-nonsense advice to help you bill more, stress less and build a recruitment career you love.
