You're facing rejection in the staffing industry. How can you bounce back with resilience?

The reality is that this whole space is broken! Companies don't respond, Agencies ghost you, you rarely get feedback and most processes are pretty poor. Understand this as the reality of the market and manage your expectations to this. You can now frame everything you do with this. You are better than all of these things and you act more pofessionaly and with more honour than the majority of people in the industry.

Acknowledge that not every placement will be a success and understand that setbacks are part of the game. This mindset helps move forward quickly instead of getting stuck. Accepting reality allows you to focus on solutions rather than dwelling on the past.

Don't expect Feedback as most companies are too busy or too frightened. If you do ever get the chance grab it with both hands

After a rejection, feedback is gold. Reach out to clients or candidates to understand what went wrong and what could be improved. This not only shows professionalism but also helps you identify blind spots. Take the insights and use them to refine your approach.

So the honesty is you won't get feedback so you need to think about how you do things to make you stand out from the crowd. Personalise everything Do NOT use easy apply Find the hiring manager and reach out to them Be persistant Dont take it personally

Analyze your current methods and identify where adjustments are needed, whether it’s your sourcing tactics or communication style. By tweaking your strategy, you increase your chances of success in future placements. Being adaptable is key in a constantly changing industry.

Continuous learning keeps you sharp. Whether it’s improving your interview techniques or staying updated on industry trends, investing in your skills is essential. The more you enhance your capabilities, the better equipped you are to handle challenges. Skill enhancement is a proactive way to stay ahead of the curve.

You are amazing! You will not have gotten to the place you are without having done awesome stuff! Rejection does not change any of that and you must not let it define you!

Resilience is built by facing challenges head-on and bouncing back each time. Cultivate a mindset that sees rejection as a learning opportunity rather than a roadblock. This mental toughness will keep you going, even when the odds are against you. Resilience is what separates those who thrive from those who simply survive.

Think of what you can do for the preson you want to connect with - what can you help them with. But be pragmatic - most people forget stuff you do for them so when you need that intro or reference don't be scard to remind them
