In this brief segment, the speaker advises recruiters to schedule a follow‑up call within 48 hours after a briefing call, asking the client directly for a convenient time. Although the request seems small, it alleviates recruiter frustration caused by delayed feedback, secures client buy‑in, and encourages honest input. By positioning the quick follow‑up as a necessary step for a "brilliant brief," recruiters increase the likelihood that the client will participate, which in turn raises the percentage of candidates that move forward in the process.

and just ask, when are you free in 48 hours' time? What time works? And it sounds silly, it's so small, but God, it helps so much because my team get frustrated when they're not hearing back on their candidates. And every recruiter feels it. So getting that buy-in from your client, say, look, brilliant brief, thanks for giving us an hour. We try and make every briefing call an hour if we can. 48 hours, I need to speak to you again. Oh, that's, that's quick. That's exciting. Say, yeah, it is exciting, but we're going to need your honest feedback and we're going to need you on the call. And once they've bought into that, they tend to see a higher percentage of the people we then send. Yeah.
