You have to be likeable. If people think you're a jerk you won't make it.

You must know to assess the quality technical and soft skills, strength, weaknesses, personality of your candidate. Speaking wtih the candidate is a must and not just based on buzz words on resumes.

As a recruiter, you must have the capabilities to reinforce the value add of your work to your client company or hiring manager by guiding them with the best strategic approach in hiring the best individual for the sake of higher retention, productivity and return of their investments.

As a recruiter it is very important to know the need of the candidate. If you can point out the actual need and want of the person, you can easily get them. We always need to remember that we are here to sale the Skillset and for service towards mankind. Its also Important to know your consultant not by personally but by their skillsets. If the consultant get a factor called "believe" on you then you can approach the best strategic. You can even guide them for their betterment and productiveness for the client...

Relationship and rapport building. Whether a Recruiter is 3rd party or corporate, the ability to connect with both candidates and internal customers is HUGE. Every other too/skill in a Recruiter's toolbox is nullified by an individual's lack of relationship building skills. As a 3rd party recruiter, it maintains and develops greater business, as a corporate recruiter it aids in having difficult hiring managers and candidates understand your perspective. I have seen many talented recruiters fall by the wayside due to strong technical abilities, but did not know how to build relationships with people and never move the search to a successful close.
