Learn The Successful Recruiter's Hiring Manager Framework
For recruiters and talent acquisition
Discover the proven methods I and hundreds of my clients have used to make hiring easier! Things that give you back time and don’t require more tools.
If you’re in talent acquisition or agency recruiting and want to learn how to:
- Improve your partnerships with hiring managers so you both get better results.
- Skillfully engage candidates and reduce ghosting to place the right person quicker.
- Cope better with the human part of the job, like overwhelm, people-pleasing and boundary-crossing.
Then this is for you!
Imagine feeling sure you can minimise or stop (any of) these? 👇🏻 💨
Hiring managers (HMs) avoid or refuse to meet at the start.
HMs ignore data and insist on must-haves that delay hiring.
HMs force you to work off the job spec without discussion.
You struggle to create respectful HM partnerships.
HMs don’t take accountability for their part/behaviour.
HMs can’t articulate who they need to hire so wing it!
HMs disregard candidate experience.
HMs believe people want to work for them and have no choice.
HMs cancel or postpone interviews last minute.
HMs treat you as a service function.
Some HMs escalate minor matters.
HMs won’t give feedback or understand its impact on mental health!
Your trust in company leadership has been eroded.
You don’t feel you have psychological safety.
You suffer imposter sydnrome, burnout or people pleasing.
Ready to take control in 2025?
Ever had that fleeting thought that managers are clueless about hiring? In the UK, 82% of managers are accidental, meaning they have not had formal leadership training! 😳 No wonder they find it hard to recruit!
Managers need your expertise and guidance (even the ones with big job titles!).
It takes more than technology to create an effective hiring process, too. Consider your underutilised CRM or ATS. Think about all the ignored notifications and messages on your phone. What about the countless communication channels we have today – email, phone, text, DM, Slack etc. – and people still don’t engage or ghost! 😣
Collaboration and engagement require more than tech.
Creating a successful hiring partnership framework involves attitudes and behaviours. Micro-changes that can be incorporated into your job right now so you can help your managers save time, money and hassle when hiring!
In these two live online webinars, I’ll give you the key to developing respect and partnership, feeling valued, reducing stress, and making recruitment successful.
Won’t it feel amazing making 2025 your best year yet?
Considering Katrina Collier wrote the how-to guide to decent, ethical and human-focused recruiting, The Robot-Proof Recruiter, you won’t be surprised to hear that she inspires recruiters to do their best work. Katrina is a born leader and teacher, and she leaves every “student” in her path a more inclusive, empathetic, savvy and productive recruiting professional. I’m grateful for her guidance, and her book, daily.

My achievements as a recruiter are directly related to Katrina’s talks and books. They’ve helped me hone my candidate-care skills. The awards I’ve won are based on the work she’s endlessly shared with the global recruitment community. Last year I had the absolute privilege of getting into her calender for her one-on-one career and project coaching. Worth every penny! I’m still working through the amazing advice she’s shared. If you are looking for advice, support, or content from a recruitment legend don’t hesitate to consider Katrina.

Why isn't this free?
Because it is detailed training where you will gain valuable knowledge that can be implemented immediately. This is priced cost-effectively and, if you use your new knowledge, the ROI is enormous.
Also, sadly, like you, I have bills to pay and though I would love to work for free, I simply cannot.
What's the ROI? 💰
Without knowing your exact recruitment challenges, it is hard to calculate.
But a few ways possibilities could be… (deliberately being pessimistic about the results you’ll achieve!)
- What is the cost to the business each day a role remains open? Your hiring manager should know this figure for their role. How much would the business save if you reduced the time-to-hire by just one day for every role?
- What is the current cost of poor hiring manager partnerships? Divide up your salary to get the hourly figure. Then times that figure by the hours wasted to-ing and fro-ing, while they reject candidate after candidate, cancel interviews last minute, and generally do all of those things that irk us delay successful hiring. What if we reduced the time wasted by a measly 10%?
- Then there’s the cost of candidate ghosting, reliance on agencies, poor employer branding, [insert what popped up]… and these can all be reduced.
Isn't this in your books? 📚
Some of it sure – and please do buy The Robot-Proof Recruiter for yourself and Reboot Hiring for your hiring managers – but it’s one thing to read a book and quite another to confidently implement it. In the training, I also include many skills I gained while healing my childhood trauma, which have proved invaluable to my professional career.
Plus, you can ask me questions at any point during the training, between sessions and, if you opt for it, have me on tap for 6 months of WhatsApp support.
Can you send me an invoice?
Sure, drop me a line, with the relevant information and I’ll send one over.
I have a different question
No problem, drop me a line. Happy to help!
