Matthew Stedman commented on Jennifer Heald's blog post 'What will push your buttons to stay in agency land?'"I know people who have left employment to start on their own - only to be back working in the same company 6 months later. I agree the benefits are rewards are far greater working for yourself, but unless you have a real drive and focus it can be a…"
Matthew Stedman replied to Sandra McCartt's discussion 'MY MOUSETRAP WORKS JUST FINE!'"A good post - I agree Recruitment is a simple thing. I do operate a vertical market however and that is because... I can - there is so much work out there. I dont think you can slate anyone for trying new ideas though? Recruitment has effectively…"
Suzanne Levison commented on Matthew Stedman's blog post 'A Specialist Recruiter - Why?'"Good points. A specialist or niche means that one stays current with all that affects their market of expertise. The players, the news, latest trends, acquisitions, and so much more. Not long ago, a corporate recruiter of my niche industry told me…"
Sandra McCartt commented on Matthew Stedman's blog post 'A Specialist Recruiter - Why?'"Did it ever occur to anyone to specialize in 30 or 40 clients as opposed to a niche skill set. Consider knowing a company, what they do, how they do it, how they manufacture it, how they ship it, how they account for it and how they market it.…"
Paul Alfred commented on Matthew Stedman's blog post 'A Specialist Recruiter - Why?'"Yes in terms of the process of recruitment ... But I work in a number of areas of Specialty and Clients do want you to speak their language lets say its IT Security or Business Intelligence the Specialist will be the go to Recruiter every time ..."
Leo Amarillas commented on Matthew Stedman's blog post 'A Specialist Recruiter - Why?'"Paul, as you said this should be the golden rule!! 3 resumes, best candidates available, bet your job on a hire from there... for an Specialist or a Corp recruiter should be the same!"
Paul Alfred commented on Matthew Stedman's blog post 'A Specialist Recruiter - Why?'"Yes totally agree with Matthew being in a few niche markets myself - but i will say this I would expect a non specialist recruiter to still send me 2 resumes per role I always like to think the Recruiter has made the hire before the submission if…"

Matthew Stedman commented on Matthew Stedman's blog post 'A Specialist Recruiter - Why?'"I am by no means degrading what the corporate recruiters do - I have my opinions of them because of what I have heard (I have always been a specialist in a vertical market). It has been alot of work networking and building a presence in my areas. I…"

George Peacock commented on Matthew Stedman's blog post 'A Specialist Recruiter - Why?'"Reminds me of the old adage I learnt in marketing 101 that you either get big, get niche or get out.
Having been a client before getting into this mad business I always preferred dealing with specialist recruiters as they invariably did not waste my…"
Leo Amarillas commented on Matthew Stedman's blog post 'A Specialist Recruiter - Why?'"Matthew it is true, Specialist Recruiters are the option for niche positions because they know the marker better and are connected and well known in those markets; I believe that a corp recruiter can do the job but it can take longer in some cases.…"
C. B. Stalling!! commented on Matthew Stedman's blog post 'A Specialist Recruiter - Why?'"to day you need to be able to recruit in many verticals. It would be nice for a company to say
call A for Software
Call B for Engineers
Call C for accounting.
That is not the ways it works in this market. I will take the work and if I can do it I…"

A Specialist Recruiter - Why?
Posted on September 30, 2010 at 4:48am 12 Comments 0 Likes
It will really depend on who is reading this on whether or not you agree. When a company has a vacancy it tends to go through HR who use a select list of suppliers for all of their recruitment matters.
