Your feedback on how this affects our clients is right on!

"Mike, good for you!! I've recently done the same thing and would heartily argue that we are diluting the recruiting pool by going out on our own! My level of ethics and integrity hasn't wavered, but now clients KNOW that the…"
Mike Hayden commented on Mike Hayden's blog post 'Recruiter to owner 4 years later'"Steve,I couldn't agree with you more! I will admit in the early days of starving for business the temptation was certainly there to undercut the larger firms to earn business. The real truth was the big firms were dropping their fees extending…"
Steve N Odell commented on Mike Hayden's blog post 'Recruiter to owner 4 years later'"Good luck Mike.

Mike Hayden commented on Paul Slezak's blog post 'Recruiters Anonymous: I’m Living an Agency Lie, and I Need Help!'"Sandra,
I love your comment! Brilliant...."
Stephanie McDonald commented on Mike Hayden's blog post 'Recruiter to owner 4 years later'"I did the same thing on January. Zero regrets as I'm too busy with work to even market myself w a website. Thanks for reminding me why I love my boss!"
