It is great to see a network for the Rocky Mountains. Thanks for getting this started Jenny. It appears that RMAR is focused on the private recruiting industry, is that correct? Any place for a corporate recruiter like myself?

Hi local recruiters,
Thanks Jenny for creating this group. I just joined Rocky Mountain Association of Recruiters this week and look forward to getting to know some local recruiters here in Colorado. Welcome to Colorado, too! I'm a fourth generation Coloradoan. I'm also on linkedin kacey@intellectrecruiting.com and would welcome any invitations. Thanks, Kacey

Hi Madeline,
That is great to build your network and your business. I have been in CO for almost 2 years now, and I am always networking!! I will send you a invitation on here and also please check out www.RMAR.org. Its group for recruiters and its a fun group (because its all recruiters).

In the work life balance arena, for me it was just the learning curve of what work life balance actually means here. I just have learned to clarify a lot more if a candidate says they want work life balance or a client defines that culture to be work life balance environment. So I just thought it was interesting the different expectations. Now I just ask tons of questions! I think overall, here people do expect to work less hours for the same pay than in other markets I have recruited in (Boston, St. Louis).

Hi everyone, I'm brand spanking new to recruiting! So I'm really trying to build my business and network. I'm on linked in, mbranda@surrex.com and would love to hear from any of you. Jenny, I also noticed a big life balance difference between Denver and Minneapolis when I moved here. I love it here too. I have been hiring actively here since 2004, and I have found that people who live here expect the work life balance. which aspect of setting expectations are you finding challenging? the long cycles? the delays?
