Outstanding and so true! It’s fun, natural, and so rewarding to see the candidate in their element an and a company benefiting from the experience, drive, & passion the candidate brings. It is refreshing to read and hear about other recruiters that are out there that feel the same and have good intentions! I get so many horror stories from candidate about there bag recruiter experiences.

Jeff talks about being in recruitment for a decade. Every now and then I pinch myself when I realise I have been in this wonderful industry for nearly two decades! It’s a total way of life. I used to tell my consultants about the number of candidates and friends that I had pointed in the right direction of a new role. Whilst I may not have been the one to actually place them, when they found themselves in a position to hire staff for their own teams, they came straight back to me.

Moral of the story … always be recruiting!

I one hundred percent agree. I think recruiters rely on screening tools and are missing opportunities when they don’t feed or water certain relationships.

I’ve seen companies that use software which can be used to make candidates feel engaged without companies have to pick up phone and call everyone of them. If someone applies to a job, companies need to respond quickly–to capture passive candidates while they’re looking and to prevent candidates from telling their network about their poor application experience.

I think that technology allows for better outreach to a wider audience. That being said, too many recruiters rely on screening tools, and fail to understand that each candidate is a potential networking opportunity. Look at every candidate resume, contact every interesting candidate to engage in discussion. Use every time you reject a candidate as a way to build a relationship, not just a way to deliver bad news.

Wonderful article! It’s great that you are recruiting constantly because speed is so critical for companies and candidates. How has technology changed the recruiting game? Does it help companies have fewer conversations with the right people?

Thanks, Jim. I get where you’re coming from. I like to bring lots of people together, too. It’s part of my nature.

Cheers,
