Are you struggling to differentiate yourself (or your team) in today's Recruiting landscape?

Are you looking to :

 - Dominate your niche
 - Build an army of advocates
 - Speak “one-to-many” with your engaged audience of candidates
 - Earn referrals and market insights
 - Rely far less on cold outreach

Let's be honest... 

Most recruiters are doing the same thing over and again but expecting a different result.

And therein lies the opportunity for differentiation.

It all begins by shifting from a transactional to a relationship-driven mindset and viewing the opportunity as a Recruiter through a much wider lens than just the role you are looking to fill.

I'll empower you to grow as a recruiter by equipping you with the mindset, methods, and magic that will set you up as a successful practitioner for years to come.

It’s not “one size fits all”; our journey together will be uniquely crafted to serve your individual needs, and satisfy your thirst for knowledge and transformation.

Copywriting for Recruiters

I specialise in one niche area of recruitment training.

It's in producing effective job advertisements, which is delivered (alongside Jackie Barrie) through our popular 'Copywriting for Recruiters' training programme. 

I define a 'job advertisement' as any piece of content intended to attract people to a job opening - doesn't matter if it's a job posting, email, Inmail or social media post. With some minor modifications, it could even be a phone conversation.

It's suitable for recruiters at any level of experience, agency or inhouse; assuming they regularly work on job vacancies that need to be sold well if they're going to attract the best candidates.

The training can be done individually (online) or as a group (online + a live workshop).

You don't need to be a good writer to learn how to produce good job adverts, however our training may be the first step in you becoming one.

Trainer/Coach

F T Recruitment Ltd

I'm also one of those rare trainers that still recruits. I'm especially skilled in helping companies solve business critical hiring issues and can help companies win more battles in the so-called ‘war for talent’, even if that business is not called Coca Cola or Hewlett Packard.

I spent between 2006 and 2010 working as an interim Inhouse Recruiter for some big brands. It was those experiences that helped me decide that from 2011 I only recruit for SMEs.

On Recruitment

"While this is a collection of blogs, it's up there with the best books written about recruitment. Straight to the point. Zero BS. Sharp, witty and ruthlessly accurate." - Mark Pearce

“This is a book of home truths for those who are not easily offended. Grab a beer, and argue with the author from first to last page.” - Bill Boorman, Founder, Tru Conferences

“Mitch is capable of picking intellectual holes in hot fashions and hyped-up trends, showing how they are often little more than fluff and fairy tales. He'll then jolt you back into the real world with his energetic form of cynicism that draws on established truths and a creative examination of future possibilities.” - Dr Richard Claydon, Management Consultant

“They say written content can’t carry tone. They also say Recruiters are all the same and just worried about their next fee. Mitch Sullivan proves both statements wrong. You can hear his dulcet, witty tones in everything he writes. He’s renowned as one of the voices of our industry.” - Tom Wish, Content Manager, Hunted

"If run-of-the-mill, emotionless recruitment fare is your thing, don't bother reading this book. Mitch has a reputation for beautifully dissecting an industry so often bound by bullshit. Strap yourself in, folks!" - Simon Lewis, MD, onlymarketingjobs.com

“Mitch is a recruiter with over 25 years industry experience who writes about whatever the hell he likes. He is massively opinionated but often hits the nail on the head. On a personal level I’ve known Mitch for 20 years and during that time have often wanted to punch him in the face. I’ve just as often laughed out loud as his superb sense of humour and writing style.” - Louise Triance – Founder, ukrecruiter.co.uk
