For those interested in the data behind the 12% drop and the current application surge, here are the full reports from Wave and the market analysis on Reddit: https://t.co/r9QUHiGSds https://t.co/0gWw2YfwQk

Sales roles getting "great applicants" but no great starters? Jan 2026 data shows postings are down 12%, but applications are up. This "AI-driven squeeze" means your inbox is flooded with nervous noise, not talent matches. Precision > Volume. (Source in comments)

Nothing beats face-to-face time to kick off the year. We headed to @flightclubdarts Leeds to celebrate a big 2025! Great food, questionable darts, and the best team. 🎯 Where should we go next? #TeamCulture #FlightClubLeeds #CitrusConnect #Leeds

Day 1/365... A new year begins. Not with pressure or promises, but with perspective. 2026 is about building on what works, refining what doesn’t, and staying focused on people, not noise. Happy New Year from all of us at Citrus Connect. #NewYear2026 #FreshPerspective

Merry Christmas🎄 We hope today brings some space to slow down, reset, and enjoy time with the people that matter most. Wishing you a peaceful Christmas from all of us at Citrus Connect. #MerryChristmas #ChristmasDay #SeasonOfRest #Grateful #FestiveMoments

Some client stories aren’t flashy - they’re about steady, real progress. Muick Sandy needed structure to grow. With a strategic, retention-focused approach: ✅ 75% of offers became starters ✅ 80% retention No shortcuts. Just a plan that works. #SalesRecruitment

Saying a heartfelt goodbye to Suruchi this week! 👋 She didn't just deliver great work; she brought incredible energy, calm, and kindness to our Citrus Connect team every single day. Thank you, Suruchi. We wish you every success! #Farewell #TeamAppreciation #RecruitmentLife

Most salespeople know when a role is wrong within the first week. But knowing when a role is right? That takes a bit more awareness. Here are 3 signs you’ve actually found the right role, the kind that sets you up for growth, money, and long-term fulfilment.

A higher basic won’t solve your recruitment struggles. If your environment’s strong, you don’t need £45k to attract talent. Top performers want clarity, coaching, progression, and a culture that’s real. Fix that, and the right people show up. #RecruitmentTruths #HiringIn2025

Still struggling to hire? 75% of UK employers are. Maybe your next great hire… already worked for you. Discover why in our 2025 Recruitment Trends Guide. 📘 https://t.co/A27p6TyXOO #RecruitmentTrends2025 #TalentShortage #WorkforceStrategy #HiringInsights #PeopleFirst

We couldn’t be prouder 🙌 Not 1, but 4 major publications featured our founder @LeenaParmar last week - 🗞️ @GlblRecruiter 🗞️ @PunchlineGlos 🗞️ @LDNdailynews 🗞️ @myGwork Recruitment isn’t just about hiring, it’s about unlocking potential. 💛 #Recruitment #CareerChange

Hiring shouldn’t be the first response; it should be the last resort. Because if your team isn’t growing under your leadership, more people won’t fix that; better coaching will. Recruitment fills seats. Coaching builds success. #RecruitmentDoneRight

Last week, we celebrated 3 three successful placements. Each one is a story of trust, alignment, and shared success. Here’s to another week of partnerships built on truth, data, and care - and to a strong, successful final quarter of 2025 for everyone in our network.

That’s what turns a “good rep” into a business asset. Because the right person won’t just meet your targets; they’ll raise the bar for everyone else.

✅ We hire for resilience - how they handle “no.” ✅ We hire for coachability - how fast they learn and adapt. ✅ We hire for empathy - because sales is human, not transactional.

❌ We don’t hire just because someone hit “£1M in sales.” ❌ We don’t hire because they’ve been in the industry for 10 years. ❌ We don’t hire because their CV is full of buzzwords.

We’ve read thousands of CVs - and the truth is... The best salespeople rarely look perfect on paper. #SalesRecruitment #HiringTips #RecruitmentInsights #DirectSales
