The Gift That Keeps on Giving!

posted by 
Doug Franklin (77)

No, it’s not the “jelly of the month club”, it’s Recruiter Training.  And it's time for every good professional Contract Recruiter to plan on giving yourself the gift that will improve your career and earning power in 2008 and beyond.

 

So where do I get this training you may ask?  Of course, right here on ERE and other very helpful web sites where you can find all sorts of helpful information and training ideas.  There’s also a host of books, webinars, and training tools out there that deal with recruiting which are applicable to Contract Recruiters as well.

 

I’m proud to have recently written the foreword to a recruiting training book by Dr. David Sweet.  The book is called Recruit, Becoming the Top Biller, and it’s a blueprint for all recruiters who want to help their own careers and improve their own performance.  Dr. Sweet writes the book from the angle of a contingent recruiter, but it’s great points are applicable to the entire recruiting industry and all Contract Recruiters.

 

So, take some time over the holidays to decide how you are going to enhance your training in 2008 and maybe take a look at this nice easy reading book from an industry leader in training recruiters, Dr. David Sweet.  His book can be found on Amazon at:

Good luck for a great 2008!

Doug is right: it is definitely that time of year for self-development. I would encourage recruiters not only to read my book, but to consistently work on recruitment, sales skills, and time management. If you would like a list of recommended reading, please let me know at info@RecruitmentTrainingInternational.com. If you go to my website and order Recruit! receive free shipping and handling.


Nice Gift

David,

Thanks for your efforts on behalf of recruiters everywhere. Your training skills are based on your actual recruiting experience around the globe and they are most helpful.

I urge everyone to take up the opportunity to read David's quick read book and become a Top Biller!

Board Certification, As Well

I agree, it's critical for recruiters to continue developing their skills in the best practices they'll need to succeed. I also recommend that all recruiters become board certified through the National Association of Personnel Services (NAPS).
