Meeting Agenda
Few things can be more frustrating than finding out that you won’t get paid for all your time and effort sourcing candidates because one of your clients is insolvent; and the fallout of placing those candidates in a firm with no future can be costly, both financially and reputationally for your business.
But there are signs to look for that show a client is in financial distress which everyone in a recruitment business should be looking out for, and that can help prevent falling into this trap.
Whether you are responsible for Sales, Marketing, Operations, Compliance or Finance, there are red (or perhaps amber) flags you should look for, which on their own may seem innocuous, but together paint a picture that a client should be treated with caution – however lucrative they may seem.
In this session you will hear from subject-matter experts on what to expect at each stage of a company’s insolvency/restructure and how you can best respond.
More details will be coming very soon
