Aaron M Keep shared thisSo many times I hear and see recruiters talking about the best new "tech", What can do this or that for me? The best tech on the market is YOU...... you do not need the next "shiny" gadget, the best laptop, the newest iphone, you simply need to show up and be YOU - this is what your clients need and want - stop letting them down by hiding behind the latest "trend" Your business needs YOU - Simple!!!

Aaron M Keep shared thisEvery business needs a service provider that has flexibility and suits their individual business needs - Welcome to Korelate, YOUR recruitment solutions partnerAaron M Keep shared thisFit and Flexibility sit at the heart of effective modern HR and Talent Acquisition. An agile HR philosophy allows organisations to respond to changing internal and external pressures while staying aligned to core business objectives. However, Talent Acquisition too often lags behind—held back by outdated operating models that weren’t designed for today’s pace of change. Many organisations remain locked into inflexible, long-term RPO contracts that limit agility, or rely on fragmented networks of suppliers with little incentive to truly partner, align, or think strategically. The result? A slow, oil‑tanker‑style recruitment function with limited ability to course‑correct—or a scattered fleet of providers all pulling in different directions. Either way, the outcome is the same: an inflexible TA model that struggles to meet evolving demand. To build and sustain competitive advantage, organisations must embed a fit‑and‑flex mindset across the entire TA landscape. This means curating an ecosystem that actively aligns with business strategy and adapts as priorities shift—accessing the right skills, expertise, and capacity at the right time. Delivered through a single, strategically aligned partner with accountability and access to a pre‑aligned network of specialist expertise, TA becomes dynamic, scalable, and future‑ready. Organised. Accountable. Flexible. That’s the future of Talent Acquisition. #HR #Strategy #TalentAcquisition

Aaron M Keep shared thisSharing for my community!! Anyone support??Aaron M Keep shared thisAfter nearly 15 years with my current organization, my position is scheduled to be made redundant in June 2026, so I am officially open to new opportunities. My approach to Leadership and Data Management is defined by a unique background: I started in teaching. This foundation allows me to translate complex data architectures into clear, commercial insights for stakeholders at every level. If a business can’t understand its data, it can’t act on it. My goal has always been to bridge that gap. What I’m looking for: While my expertise lies in Data Management, Analysis and Governance, I am a quick learner who thrives on a challenge. I am open to exploring unconventional or non-linear roles where my leadership and analytical skills can be put to work. As a mom to a 14-month-old, a culture that supports flexible or remote working is my priority. The highlights: ➡️ 15 years of loyalty and deep institutional expertise. ➡️ Specialist in Product Data Management, Governance and Commercial Alignment. ➡️ Leadership style focused on clarity, empowerment, and "translation". If your team needs an established leader who can make the complex simple - in data or beyond - I’d love to connect. #DataManagement #Leadership #CareerPivot #WorkingMoms #RemoteWork #HybridWork #OpenToWork

Aaron M Keep shared thisThe market is not on fire like 2021 and it is not falling apart like 2023, it is stabilising and that is where proper recruitment businesses are quietly built, especially in the niche space When I look across the SSG ventures that are really scaling, the common thread is always the same, they have boring but brilliant foundations in place, nothing flashy, just non negotiables that keep delivering month after month For 2026, I see 5 quiet foundations for niche recruitment entrepreneurs: 1. Data – you know your numbers weekly, not yearly, you track pipeline, conversion, average fee, time to fill, source of every deal and you actually use that data to decide what you do tomorrow 2. Tech – your CRM is the engine not a graveyard, your tools are integrated, automated where it matters and you are maximising on what you already pay for before you buy the next shiny thing 3. Process – there is a simple way you win work, run assignments, manage candidates and retain clients and everyone follows it, especially when things get busy or tough 4. Branding – your niche, your message and your value are clear online and offline, your LinkedIn, website and outreach all tell the same story to the same ideal client 5. Personal leadership – you run your energy, your focus and your calendar like a results driven business owner, not a frazzled consultant, you make decisions, you say no, you build habits that compound If you are honest with yourself and score each out of 10, where are you strongest and where are you weakest At SSG we build these foundations with every new venture as standard, because structure and choice sit behind every successful recruitment entrepreneur, I am always interested to hear where founders feel the gap is for them, it is usually the starting point for real growth and to ensure success follows

Aaron M Keep shared thisDesigning your week as a founder starts with a very simple question What do you actually want your week to look like Most recruiters leave a big agency and then rebuild the same diary, they just tweak the revenue model and hope it feels better, it normally does not Big agency biller week You are on back to back internal meetings, daily stand ups, pipeline reviews, chasing KPIs, handling roles you do not really want, working all hours to hit targets someone else set, you make money but you do not own your time Lean founder week can look very different, but only if you design it first and then build the business around it For example Model 1 – High fee, low volume You decide you want 3 deep work days and 2 lighter days, so you chase retained and senior mandates, fewer clients, higher average fees, longer processes, your diary is blocks of research, outreach and short sharp client calls, you are working smart and not hard because the numbers stack up without needing 20 roles on Model 2 – Niche contractor book You want recurring monthly income and predictable weeks, so you build a tight niche with a small number of hiring managers, Monday is check ins and extensions, midweek is talent mapping and BD into the same ecosystem, Friday is relationships and planning, you are maximising on each client rather than constantly hunting new ones Model 3 – Portfolio lifestyle You want school runs, gym time and maybe a Friday off every other week, so you set clear capacity, premium pricing and a strict client profile, you say no to anything that does not fit, your week is a mix of delivery for a handful of high value clients and space for life, the business funds your choices rather than kills them At SSG we sit with new partners and start with the diary not the P&L, we map the ideal week on paper, then engineer niche, pricing, terms and client mix around that, the commercial plan is there to protect the life you want and to make money in a way that feels sustainable When you design your week first, the business becomes a vehicle for choice and success, not another job you want to escape from

Aaron M Keep shared this2026 is not going to reward the biggest agencies, it is going to reward the recruiters who build micro talent ecosystems around one clear niche and treat that niche like an asset that pays them every single month Instead of talking endlessly about staffing shortages I am seeing lean, tech enabled recruiters quietly building small high value communities of talent, using data, automation and simple but smart workflows to stay in front of candidates and clients long before a role goes live, they know exactly who is moving, who is disengaged, who is underpaid and they monetise that information while the corporates stand still The best micro agencies I mentor at SSG are obsessively narrow in their markets and broad in their thinking, they build content that attracts passive candidates, they tag and segment every conversation, they use automation to do the heavy lifting and then they spend their energy on high value calls and relationships, that is working smart and not hard and it turns a “candidate gap” into predictable and scalable growth This is the mindset and operating system of the modern recruitment entrepreneur, not headcount, not fancy offices, just sharp focus, a simple tech stack and a commitment to building a living breathing ecosystem in one space, get that right and 2026 will give you something very powerful in return – choice, control and a business that makes money whilst others chase the next quick fee

Aaron M Keep shared thisLondon in 2026 will be brutal if you run recruitment the old way and a gift if you are willing to start differently You have a 20 percent salary premium, hybrid as a basic expectation and perk inflation everywhere, most people see that as a cost problem, I see it as a design brief for a new founder If I was launching a London focused agency from scratch I would not copy my old big agency model with fat overheads and blanket benefits, I would build a lean, high value set up that does three things from day one 1. Bakes hybrid into the operating model, not as a perk but as an efficiency tool so you need less office, less fixed cost and more time in front of clients and candidates 2. Uses equity style incentives instead of endless salary creep so key people share in value creation and you protect margin whilst still attracting serious talent 3. Wraps learning and support around both your own hires and your candidates so your “perk” is career acceleration, which clients will pay a premium for when it is delivered properly London salary pressure does not have to kill profitability, if you are results driven and focused on working smart and not hard it forces you to question every assumption and build something sharper, at SSG we see founders doing this now and those are the agencies that will not just survive 2026 in London, they will make more money and have more choice in how they grow

Aaron M Keep liked thisAaron M Keep liked this🚛 Positive news for the UK haulage and logistics sector. The proposed 12-month HGV road tax (VED) holiday could save operators between £600–£900 per truck, alongside the continued fuel duty freeze. For the freight forwarding and logistics industry, any support that helps reduce operating costs is a welcome move. The road freight market has faced constant pressure over recent years with rising fuel costs, driver shortages, wage increases, and tighter margins. Key points: • Applies to HGV / haulage operators • Intended to ease rising transport costs • Potential savings of up to £900+ per vehicle • Could help businesses invest back into operations and growth As someone working within freight forwarding recruitment, it’s encouraging to see measures aimed at supporting the backbone of the supply chain. 🛣️ 📱 07542610648 📧 Amyb@springsupplychain.com 🩷 The pinkest recruiter in logistics, but don’t let the crown fool you…

Sometimes a bit of sunshine and fresh air is all you need to reset your focus, spark new ideas, and feel more productive 🌞✨ Modern working isn’t just about where you work — it’s about creating an environment where you do your best work.

Aaron M Keep reacted on thisAaron M Keep reacted on thisWhen it comes to pricing, we always do our best to remain fair and competitive within the current labour market. But the reality is, the market has changed massively and it continues to evolve all the time. We know we won’t always be able to compete with some of the bigger recruitment providers on price alone, and honestly, that’s okay. We understand where we sit as a micro agency. What we can offer is a hands on, director led service where we genuinely care about the businesses we partner with and look after them like they’re our own. We’re always looking at ways we can improve operational processes, support efficiencies, and add value beyond recruitment alone. And you won’t always get that level of service everywhere. That’s not to say account managers don’t care, because many absolutely do, and there are some amazing account managers out there. But a lot of it comes down to the individual, their personality, and their values. Because recruitment today is about more than just filling job roles. It’s about the support, communication, market insight and partnership that comes with it too. We’re here to support businesses long term, not just when there’s a role to fill. Thank you Natalie Photography for capturing this - she’s new on LinkedIn so connect with Natalie if you would like your professional corporate images taken in Hull and surrounding areas.
