Client management training

From CV supplier to trusted partner.

Give in to 'just send some CVs' and you lose both margin and the relationship. This training teaches your recruiters to take charge of the assignment — and to build clients who stay.

30 minutes, no strings attached · you talk directly to the trainer

Watch as a participant: this is the introduction your recruiters see when they start the training. You'll see what it covers, which parts are included and what it delivers.

Do you recognise this in your team?

Then this training pays off straight away.

  • Clients email a job profile and simply ask for CVs
  • Recruiters wait weeks for feedback or an interview slot
  • An unexpected objection from a manager or HR derails a placement at the last minute
  • After an assignment it goes quiet — until the next vacancy lands with another agency
Business results

What the Client management training delivers for your agency

More placements

More assignments that end in a placement

Your recruiters know upfront what is going on at the client and who has a say. Fewer assignments fall through, even for scarce profiles.

Faster placements

A process that keeps moving

With steps, roles and timelines agreed in advance, nobody is left waiting on anyone else. Feedback and interviews happen on time.

Higher margin

A partner, not a supplier

A recruiter who talks with the client about what they really need is no interchangeable CV supplier. That means a stronger position in the negotiation.

More client loyalty

The next request comes to you

By reviewing together and adjusting in time, every assignment ends with a stronger relationship. You are the first agency the client calls.

One Team Track training pays for itself with a third of one permanent placement, less than one extra temp or a sixth of one secondment. See the calculation →

What we cover

The content, tailored to your vacancies

Your recruiters follow the theory online, at their own pace. Then we translate it to your own assignments and clients: in a workshop with the team, or in a personal coaching session.

01 The client analysisKnow who your client really is, before you start

What your recruiters learn

  • See the difference between a client who just buys CVs and a client you work with — and why that pays
  • Ask the right intake questions about the organisation, the team and the role, so risks and opportunities are visible upfront
  • Discuss what the client expects on quality, numbers, speed, service, effort and cost
  • Judge, for each person involved at the client, what matters to them and how much say they have

The result

Expectations aligned at the start, instead of disappointments that have to be repaired afterwards.

02 Directing the client processWhoever sets up the process holds the influence

What your recruiters learn

  • Recognise the stages where the client holds the reins — and take extra control exactly there
  • Set up a standard process: which steps, who does what and how long each step may take
  • Decide who at the client should be consulted and who kept informed, so nobody stalls the process unexpectedly
  • Capture the agreements in a clear, client-friendly document
  • Name the biggest risks for each step in advance and raise them during the intake

The result

An assignment that runs as agreed, with a recruiter who steers instead of chasing the client.

03 Getting stakeholders movingGet the right people to act at the right time

What your recruiters learn

  • Understand why the people involved at the client ultimately decide the outcome
  • Use five principles of persuasion, such as showing expertise, securing commitments and pointing to what others already do
  • Apply them at every stage: from intake and sourcing to selection and hiring
  • Keep to the line between persuading and manipulating
  • Have a fitting approach ready for each risk in advance

The result

Managers and HR who give feedback, schedule interviews and make decisions when it matters.

04 Learning from clientsReview together and grow the relationship

What your recruiters learn

  • Treat reviews as an investment in the relationship rather than a box to tick
  • Ask the right questions midway, at the end and periodically about process, candidates, collaboration, results and added value
  • Choose how to review in each situation: what delivers most for the least effort
  • Build their own list of no more than ten questions around the steps that matter most

The result

Risks caught in time, and conversations that lead to new assignments.

Two ways

With the whole team, or per recruiter

Team Track

The whole team stronger, together

Intake, online learning and a tailor-made workshop with up to eight recruiters, at your office.

A good fit if

  • Your team has four or more recruiters
  • You want the whole team to work the same way
  • Recruiters learn from each other's real assignments and clients
  • Knowledge stays in the team, even when someone leaves
Discuss a Team Track
Personal Track

Help one recruiter move forward

Online learning at their own pace plus two hours of personal coaching on their own practice. Fully online.

A good fit if

  • A new recruiter needs to become productive quickly
  • One recruiter has a specific development need
  • Recruiters in your team differ a lot in level
