One placement. More than one conversation.
From the first brief
to the difficult update.
Choose your market and recruitment model, then your role and who you need to speak with. Each exercise has a fictional case, a clear objective and concerns that react to your response.
01 · Employers
Win clarity.
Handle the challenge.
- “We already use three agencies.”
- “Match the other agency's fee.”
- “None of these CVs feels right.”
Discovery, workable vacancy briefs, approved service terms, meaningful feedback and fair hiring criteria.
02 · Candidates
Understand the person
behind the application.
- “Who will see my details?”
- “I need a different interview format.”
- “This is not the job I expected.”
Role fit, representation, interview support, rejection, offers, counteroffers and concerns after placement.
03 · Temporary staffing
Respond when
plans change.
- “Send someone tomorrow.”
- “My pay is short.”
- “I have not been trained on this.”
Urgent bookings, changed shifts, no-shows, pay questions and safety concerns with appropriate next steps.
United Kingdom
Permanent recruitment
and temporary staffing.
CVs, vacancies, notice periods and agency conversations. This pack covers Great Britain. Northern Ireland has distinct requirements and is not included.

The conversation, then the coaching
Speak it.
Review it.
Try that part again.
Bring the situation.
Use a fictional example or add the confirmed vacancy, candidate or assignment facts. Save reusable agency services and approved fee explanations separately.
Respond out loud.
Choose the difficulty and speak with an AI employer, candidate or worker. Check your microphone before the conversation opens.
Work on the next response.
Review feedback grounded in your transcript. Replay a verified difficult moment when one is available, or repeat the full conversation with its original context.
A scorecard that fits the work
An informed decision
is a good next step.
Your report looks at listening, useful questions, accurate explanations, handling concerns and a suitable next action. It uses the same score colours as the rest of The Sales Workout.
A responsible refusal or corrected brief can be progress. Pressure, invented promises and a signature alone do not make a good conversation.
Practice uses your existing live allowance. When team reporting is available, sharing a scorecard is your choice; transcript sharing is a separate choice.

Can I practise a conversation I have coming up?
Yes. Choose the closest scenario and use your own situation. Enter only the confirmed details needed for practice, use fictional names and mark unknowns. Agency services and approved terms are saved separately from individual hiring and assignment details.
Does candidate practice need company details?
No. Candidate and worker conversations use the person's situation and the relevant vacancy or assignment facts. There is no business-buyer onboarding to complete for them.
Are the UK and US scenarios interchangeable?
No. Terminology, recruitment models and jurisdiction boundaries are part of each brief. The UK pack covers Great Britain; Northern Ireland is not included. The US pack uses general examples; verify state and local requirements for an actual case. Use your approved procedures and terms for actual cases.
Is this a separate subscription?
Recruitment practice is inside The Sales Workout. It follows your current plan access and live practice allowance. You can browse the scenarios before preparing a call.
Can my manager see my private notes?
When reporting is available for your team, you control sharing of eligible scorecards and transcripts. Private setup notes and reusable agency details are not included in team report sharing.
