I really just want one thing. A bullshit detector. Mine's pretty good, but not foolproof. :)

Ha ha! Love it, Amy! I agree. That would definitely save me some time (and some self-doubt). Thanks for responding :)

a Time Machine.... timing is usually a key factor in whether you place someone or not.  Either the candidate is off the market before the Hiring Manager pulls the trigger or you find the perfect candidate a week after the positions went away.  If time wasn't a factor we'd all have 150 placements a year & be living on a tropical island somewhere.

So true, Daniel. I couldn't even begin to count the times that I've said to myself, "If only I'd found you a few months ago when I had position 'x' to fill!" Love your idea of the 150 placements per year. I'm not doing the math because it's rainy and awful outside today (and would make me covet that tropical island even more!)  Thanks for commenting.
