 Hi, I'm Calvin;  Founder of Calvin James Recruitment and The Calvin James Community.

 

When I first landed in the UAE with my former employer, it didn't take long to realize just how crucial relationships are in this market. That realization sparked a vision: Calvin James Recruitment. I'd swiftly built a tight network in the region, realizing that clients were returning for me, not just the company I represented.

Launching a recruitment firm is no walk in the park, and doing it in a foreign land, that was a challenge of its own! My strategy was simple! Prioritize relationships and outwork the competition. These principles not only saw us through the trials of COVID but also propelled us to where we stand today, with a LinkedIn following of over 220,000 and the trust of major global players to shape their leadership teams. It's surreal to think back to our humble beginnings, from solo coffee shop sessions to a powerhouse team of recruitment experts.

At Calvin James Recruitment, relationships reign supreme. Our motto, "a people-focused approach for a people's business," encapsulates our ethos perfectly. Every day, i would feel the pain points from candidates in the market, even people who i didn't even know getting frustrated with me for not responding to their LinkedIn messages, which is difficult at the best of times as i get 100's per day, it was difficult, people commenting on the jobs I was posting saying they were fake etc. 

As my Business grew, the volume of job searchers applying for my roles also grew. 

Which is great, but managing and responding to everyone who reaches out can be quite challenging..

The Pains: I hear on a daily basis, the UAE market has been screaming out for a different solution for as long as i can remember

No response, Ghosting, No feedback, No guidance

No idea what to do differently

Too many applicants

I don't know how to navigate the UAE market

In an ideal scenario, I'd assist everyone, but that's not realistic. Instead, I thought of how I could educate a large number of people and empower and equip them with the knowledge and resources to independently secure employment via the same methods I use to pick up jobs as a recruiter.

Common misconceptions  

 

Applying for everything will increase your visibility! 

Applying for every job you see will not increase your visibility, this is the reason we have an issue with application overload.  

 

Only connect with recruiters!

Don't just connect with recruiters, connect also with peers and potential hiring managers/ senior stakeholders

 

I can only post professional work-related posts on LinkedIn!

Personal posts get 10x more impressions!

 

Paying someone to make me a CV! 

Your CV is invisible until your LinkedIn is picked up, focus on your LinkedIn profile first. 

 

Applying for the job, then immediately sending a message to the job poster! 

Think outside the box, everyone is doing the same thing, you are not likely to get a response.

Timing is everything!

Enrolling in Calvin's 6 week course was a game changer for me in navigating the opportunities in the Middle East. Calvin's personalised and dedicated approach in our 1-1 sessions and masterclass was a breath of fresh air. From enhancing my online presence and LinkedIn profile to crafting a winning CV, acing interviews, and expanding my network both online and in-person – the course covered it all.
 
Before joining, my passive approach yielded no results. Now, recruiters are reaching out directly, and I'm confidently engaging in meaningful comments on posts. Being a founder member of the Calvin James community has been a privilege of connecting with like-minded individuals. After just 6 weeks, I wholeheartedly recommend this course for anyone seeking success in their professional journey.

The Calvin James community is an invaluable platform that consistently nurtures personal and professional development. The recent program delivered exceptional content, aligning seamlessly with the community's shared interests and completely changed my point of view. In addition to the 6-week masterclass, the opportunity to have 1-1 sessions with you and feel your support and knowledge makes all the difference. Therefore, I wanted to share my perspective, and I wholeheartedly recommend this community/masterclass to everyone who is not getting the results they want from their job search and is looking to try something different. Eagerly anticipating future events and continued engagement with fellow members. Thank you for cultivating such a dynamic and great community
