As my blog gathers momentum, I realise that its major function is to share my experiences of dealing with you, our valuable clients, on a day to day basis. The best service I can give is to be a link among recruiters, so as to share learning and motivate each other to stay the distance in this at times difficult, but always rewarding field of business and to help each other answer questions of interest to us all.
So drop me a line even anonymously robert.ward@eboss.co.uk or call me on 0207 183 0675, and I’ll do my best to respond.
Remember any question you have, may be of interest to a hundred people who will not send an email…..
The purpose of today’s blog is in response to a question about the discounting of services, and how some operators seem to be able to offer hugely inflated discounts. One example being the dropping 70% of their original asking price to secure business.
For my part, whatever these tactics may imply about the motivation and integrity of a given company, I can confidently say that for our part, the eBoss software and services are honestly priced, and that is why there is hardly any room for bargaining. Our mission statement is to be a company which acts in the interests of our clients, a company which cares about the sustainability of our clients and a company that knows that our clients’ growth is our growth.
Our purpose is to continue to provide great value for the right money, and maintain the promise that the price that you join us on will be the price that you stay on.

Eight minutes past six or 18:06 and I was in the office again. What’s wrong, I am still happily married, I’m not having an affair, I must love my job.
Anyway, this call was from a potential client who had some concerns. We very quickly established that his concerns were a result of some fairly straightforward unanswered questions. We talked through this and I think he was happy enough with what I was able to tell him.
During the conversation I mentioned about the ability to send an email with a CV attachment to a particular email address and how it would appear on the database fully parsed and record created, even matched to the job ID. Magic!! The potential client, made a little moan at that point (justifiable, I might add) and confirmed that he had asked about all extras and this little one had not been mentioned. (£5 per month per client, not per user). This is my first point….. If we don’t mention an add on during our demonstration we will not charge you for them for the life of your relationship with us. If you ask and we don’t tell you about any extras, then your whole service is free.
These are not huge things, but worthy of a quick blog or tweet non the less.
Have a nice day.

It was 5:15pm and I picked up the phone to call a client about an email they had just sent me. I am not using this blog as an opportunity to tell all of our eBoss clients that I was working past 5, but lap it up anyway, as it’s not often I stay in the office past 5 (As you know by now, I have a wife and kids).
Anyway, back to the phone call. It was a phone call with a new client. Which one of the hundreds of new clients I hear you ask??? Well I told him that I would be writing this blog, mentioned how I would make reference to a very well spoken, sharp, professional, cut throat recruiter who had been a the head of his game for the last 15 plus years, but promised, I would not mention him or his company. Oh how we laughed…..
This new client of ours had only been with us for a couple of weeks and although I had not sold him the service initially, we had spoken a few times and I would like to think that we hit it off pretty well straight away. We have laughed about numerous topics, many of which would be better placed in another blog world altogether!!!! Now at this point a thought did cross my mind, how easy it is to be in recruitment? Pick up the phone have a chat, make some people laugh, close the deal and watch the bank balance and reputation grow.
In short, the answer is no. The rapport you build up with your clients and candidates is a large part of what makes you successful, in addition, the quality of people you represent and if you have a team working for you, the job they do of representing you, all contributes to a good recruiter or recruitment company. However, there is another component, and that is something that I firmly believe should be one of the corner stones of any recruitment company’s foundations and that’s a good recruitment software system.
Before I rant on about what is required of an excellent recruitment software package, I must highlight one of my main points, and that’s the cost. You do not have to pay an arm or even a leg for a system, nor should you have to sign a contract in blood agreeing to the offering up of your soul should you change your mind, or indeed want to leave (experience of a recently saved new client who nearly went with a competitor). You need a system that pays for itself, a system that grows as you grow, allowing your bank balance the same opportunity to prosper.
You need a system that stores your information, automates numerous tasks, takes the repetition out of recruitment. A system that lets you search through your thousands of candidates, clients, contacts or jobs, with a fine tooth comb, and finally (although there is loads more functionality) a system that is intuitive, easy to use and is ever enhancing its offering to you.
So, our loyal customers, you bring the people skills, we’ll bring the recruitment software skills (at a David Cameron, budget friendly £39 per person, for the life of our relationship) and together we will make recruitment love.
In short, you need eBoss recruitment software and we need you. Shameless plug opportunity, if you know someone in recruitment and you don’t mind them having an equally as good system as you, introduce them to us, you might get a pleasant surprise.
Thank you and happy recruiting.
I am out of the office until Monday the 19th of July and will not be checking email regularly.
If your enquiry is urgent please call my associate, Edward Milborne on 07595 024758 or mail e.milborne@thp-search.co.uk
Thanks
Matthew Roberts

Last night, my two year old would not go to sleep or if she did drop off at all, it was not for any recognisable period of time which may have benefited my weary bones. At 12:30 this morning, she was insisting on calling out the name of my other daughter, my neighbours and her grandparents, before breaking out into a long whinge……….
What has this got to do with you, what’s this got to do with our recruitment software? Is this another classic eBoss tenuous link coming to slap you in the face?
The link is…… it’s 9:30, I have already managed to get half an hours work done, write this blog and get to work on time, all without leaving my house. Those of you who use are system are already fully aware of the fact that you can log in and work when and where you want to, you are also aware of one of our new features which enables you to restrict the access to the database of some of your staff based on IP addresses. You also know that this increases your ability to sleep well at night, (unlike me) safe in the knowledge that they can’t export any of the information from the database.
Those of you who aren’t with us……………… What are you waiting for, do you want to work from the comfort of your own bed? do you want to employ people that you never have to look at? (This is proven to cut down on company flings and affairs), we have some clients who have employees on three continents of the world and they have never met them. And finally, do you want to achieve maximum results with minimum effort? If the answer to even one of these questions is yes, then call us, email us, carrier pigeon us. We want to talk to you.

It seems very quiet today and I expect that has a lot to do with the weekend. 
For our Managing Director David Lyons it wasn’t all about the football as he completed the British Heart foundations Pier to Pier swim in Bournemouth. The swim is an open sea event between Bournemouth Pier and Boscombe pier, a distance of 2.2kms. David did it in just under an hour.
He said, “It started well with a favorable current, however halfway it changed and it became quite difficult, at one point I did think of quitting, happily the feeling lasted only a split second and I carried on. The swim was a huge challenge as I only learned to swim in recent years and had not trained as much as I should have. It reminded me also that when things seem impossible, they can still be overcome”
We’ve given him the rest of the day off to recover…..
