What makes me a smart recruiter

Great topic and great posts thus far, here are some things I think are essentials...



1) Being Proactive versus reactive - you must guide your candidate and client through the process and talk about things like other interviews and counteroffers long before those things come up. Get up front contracts with your candidates and clients on common struggling points- if you have the same thing repeatedly costing you from success- you MUST learn and keep that from happening by proactively… Continue

What make me a Smart Recruiter?

This is a great topic and the responses have all been wonderful



For me, here is how I answer:



1) I love what I do. I love people and this industry.

What Makes Me A Smart Recruiter

1. I made a decision NOT to be road-kill during this economic crisis. If I am to forecast anything, it won't be my own demise, LOL.



2. When I am between assignments, finding that next assignment IS my assignment, and I treat myself like I treat my best candidate.



3. I start my workday when others are asleep. I start @ 6:30 am. I put in a full day and I still have day light to do things which I enjoy...like finishing a book that I am writing.



4. I don't dwell… Continue

What makes me a Smart Recruiter

Fun topic! I'll list the top reasons for my own personal success. Whether I am actually a "smart" recruiter is debatable!



1. Emotions:



I can take a $50K punch in the stomache and get right back up! In this business you MUST be able to "rise above" the daily ups and downs. No other profession has so much at stake with each day. I work in both direct and contract staffing. One day my spirit might be soaring high with a few new placements ready to start - and the very next… Continue

What makes me a Smart Recruiter

Based on my agency background, here are my top five reasons:



1. Resiliency – When you are a third-party recruiter (TPR), issues arise and you must be solutions-focused to move forward and recover quickly. Anticipate all possible scenarios in the hiring process and do not react emotionally.



2. Continuous learning – We are very lucky to have so many leaders and experts in our field (especially on http://www.RecruitingBlogs.com - shameless plug) that willing to… Continue

What makes me a smart recruiter

What makes me a smart recruiter......



1. I realize this is a game of "finding" not "creating".



A lot of recruiters pay lip service to the old "round hole, square peg" line about the business, but only the ones who get it know deep down that this is a game of finding, not creating. There is a right job for every person and a right person (or more appropriately, right persons) for every job. I drive my business by focusing on finding the right fit, not trying to make what I… Continue

What makes me a Smart Recruiter

1. I interview every candidate - thoroughly - to understand who they are, what they want, and why I should introduce them to my clients' jobs

2. I never lie to clients or candidates - integrity is a key ingredient

3. I understand my clients' jobs - I ask questions & dig deep

4. I practice continuing education - we should never stop learning

5. I keep good records - make good use of my database

SmartRecruiters Ask for Change...

SmartRecruiters As the train pulled in this morning I waved at my fellow and familiar commuters. I shared where I'd been for a week to those that asked as we boarded the same double decker mode of transportation that pulls out of the station at the same time every day. I moved to the back of the car to my normal seat, fired up the laptop, and sipped on my coffee (from my new JuJu travel mug) and thought to myself, "It's good to get back into my morning groove where things are dependable and the… Continue
