No excuses, the best candidate wins.

Posted by Trevor Walker on May 21, 2013 at 2:01pm 0 Comments

We work in a ridiculously simple industry, we find great people. Although it's complex in execution, the simplicity of it is astonishing. We tend to forget that over time, when the candidates are hard to find or the jobs dry up, we externalize and rationalize our lack of success.

Why Did My Potential Client Disappear?

Posted by Cristina Lewis on May 21, 2013 at 10:15am 14 Comments

Hi everyone! So, I just started a new job in April with a GREAT firm. I am now responsible for working both sides of the desk. This is my first experience with client development, so I wanted some helpful tips. I met a director of HR for a local company at a professional networking event. She told me she was looking for a corporate recruiter that has experience specific to the industry she works in. Within a day, I found her an AMAZING candidate (name blocked out of course because at that…
