Field guides
Everything we have written down about running a specialist desk.
Not blog posts. Working guides, grouped by the job you are trying to do: find the right people, run the week, grow the business. Each one is written from the same place Holi was built from, a niche desk with too many tabs open.
Sourcing intelligence
Finding the right people, and remembering why they mattered.
- Niche recruitmentWhy specialist desks win on depth, and how the signals get lost.
- AI for recruitersWhat AI actually changes on a recruiting desk, and what it does not.
- AI sourcing toolsThe current landscape, read honestly, with where each one stops.
- Recruitment market intelligenceHow to turn what you read into something the desk can use on Thursday.
Desk operations
Running the week so the work compounds instead of resetting.
- Recruitment automationWhich parts of the desk should be automated, and which never should.
- Recruitment KPIsThe numbers that predict billings, and the ones that only look busy.
- Recruitment agency softwareHow the specialist stack differs from the generalist one.
- Works with your CRMWhere Holi sits alongside the system of record you already run.
Agency growth
Winning better clients and scaling without losing the specialism.
- Recruitment business developmentWinning new clients with context rather than volume.
- Recruitment agency growthScaling a specialist agency without diluting the specialism.
- Specialist recruitment agencyWhat separates a specialist agency from a generalist with a niche page.
- Executive search softwareWhat retained search needs that transactional tooling never gives it.
Also worth reading
The weekly dispatch, and the vocabulary.
The guides are the long view. Field Notes is the weekly one, written from live desks. The glossary defines the terms the way specialist recruiters actually use them.
