Pardon me...

Why do I hear recruiters say that it is an intrusion to call a candidate who isn’t actively looking? I’m tired of it. It isn’t an intrusion unless you are rude about the way you present yourself. It is FLATTERY!!

I'm signing up with a trainer that will teach me the ins and outs of the biz, because I've been doing sales for 25+ years (young for my age) but I just started doing recruiting.

Are you working at your own home-based business or do you work for an employment firm? Maybe we could get together. I'm going out on my own, but I partner with other recruiters to get job orders, fill them, sourcing candidates, etc. Thanks for welcoming me to the community. How do you like this blog so far? Alice
