Let’s work together to improve this subreddit!

Currently, there are two Reddit communities dedicated to recruiting and headhunting: this one and r/recruiting. I’ve been quite active in the recruiting sub and somewhat involved here. In the past, the other subreddit had a larger number of headhunters and recruiters participating.

Yesterday, I was banned for telling someone to f-off after they called me a dumbass. Throughout my time in both subs, I’ve aimed to share valuable information, tips, tricks, software, and training resources because I’m passionate about our industry and want to see it grow and improve.

I believe we can enhance the visibility of this sub by focusing on supporting one another as recruiters and creating posts that genuinely benefit the industry.

I get the sense that mod u/chazman69 shares this vision. They recently offered some fantastic cold calling tips in r/recruiting, but unfortunately, they were met with downvotes and negativity.

I plan to keep sharing what I believe are useful insights, tips, and software recommendations, and I hope others will join me in this effort. Together, we can shape this subreddit into what I originally thought r/recruiting aimed to be.

I’m always open to networking and helping others, so feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn: >!in/thomasalascio!<

One last thing: u/chazman69 or u/gunnerpad, could you consider changing the “agency recruiter” flair to “firm recruiter” or adding “headhunter” as an option? The term “Agency” gives off an “employment agency” vibe, which doesn’t accurately represent what we do. Most of us work for Search Firms or Staffing Firms rather than Staffing Agencies.

Thanks for taking the time to read this!
