Chirp, chirp. Your candidate falls off the face of the earth.Or as a Sales Guy, you send the “perfect” candidate against your…See More

Taking Time

Taking TimeWe spend so much time as recruiters and salespeople in developing relationships with candidates that sometimes we forget just how far we can actually take that relationship – for mutual benefit.1. Take time to explain what your firm offers but also listen to what your candidate wants.When we speak with candidates and sell them on how wonderful our firms are, on how outstanding our processes are, and on how great it is to work with us – we as recruiters and sales people tend to be so…See More

Speed Is What We Need

I often refer to the line used by Burgess Meredith (Mickey) in the Rocky films in the early 1970’s that, while training Sylvester Stallone (Rocky), Mickey is insistent on the “need for speed.” “You need speed, lighting quick speed…” during my workday.
