Andrew Banks on recruiting

Running an agency today, from someone who ran two.

Andrew Banks ran Morgan & Banks and Talent2, and names the three things that would preoccupy him running an agency today. His answer sits at the top of the funnel: every candidate compared with a profile of the client's best people, done online, without slowing the process down.

Andrew Banks ran Morgan & Banks and Talent2 for thirty years and is an investor in Compono.

What Andrew is describing

  • If I was running a recruitment company today, I'd be preoccupied with three things
  • Make more placements, get new recruiters productive faster, and make the placement stick
  • Right at the top of the funnel, it compares every candidate with a profile of your client's best people
  • If we had it at Morgan & Banks and Talent2, frankly, we would have made many more placements

How a culture match works

1

Send the client a link

One link, sent by the recruiter on the desk. Nothing to install. The client passes it to their best people.

2

Their best people complete a profile

The top performers in that business answer it online in under ten minutes. Back comes a profile the client agrees reads like them.

3

Every candidate is compared to it

The comparison runs at the top end of the funnel, before a CV is screened, so the shortlist reaches the client with the fit already on it.

Common questions

No. It sits before you screen a resume, and candidates complete it online in a few minutes. The ranking is waiting when you open the pipeline, so it saves the time you would spend arguing a shortlist through.

A flat platform fee plus a fee per recruiter. Under ten recruiters is circa $3.5k to $8.5k AUD a year, and most agencies carry it inside the placement fee.

If I was running a recruitment company today, I'd be preoccupied with three things: make more placements, get new recruiters productive faster, and make the placement stick.

Now there's a solution. It's called Compono. Right at the top of the funnel, it compares every candidate with a profile of your client's best people. It's done online, doesn't cost that much, and it doesn't slow up the process.

If we had it at Morgan & Banks and Talent2, frankly, we would have made many more placements. Have a look at Compono.
