It's Me, the "Different Agency Recruiter"?'"I swear I'm not trying to be sarcastic or negative, but yes, you all do the same thing. Some TPR's are great, some are good, some are bad. Amy Ala gave some great advice. LMAO @ "ad for circus clown.""

I have this TPR that keeps contacting me about IT placements. IT is not located in my office or even on the same coast, NO, there is nothing I can do for you."
A blog post by Cristina Lewis was featuredHi HR/Corporate Recruiter! It's Me, the "Different Agency Recruiter"?
Hello again, everyone! Since the last discusson was very informative, I want to pick the brains of corporate recruiters now. Since I am an agency recruiter and new to client development, I want to know the opinions of recruiters on "the other side" of the game. I know HR and corporate recruiters are tired of being approached by one agency after another saying that they are "different" and can provide some sort of magical recruiting service that the rest cannot. When I call HR and corporate…See More

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.

Continue What do Your Commission Plans and Metrics Look Like?

I'm wondering what different agency commission plans look like. Do you have to meet metrics to be eligible for commission?
