What Exactly is the recruitment business all about????
It is not about producing “n” units of “X” in day
It is not about teaching a bunch of kindergarten kids
It is not about analysis of profit and loss statements
It is not about selling a product to a gullible customer to meet your targets
The real picture of The Recruitment Business is however a very different story.
There is no time restriction
No thumb rule on how to do it
You are your own boss
Intangible targets can never be defined
The basic skill set that qualifies one for this business is relationship building skills, opening up to new people every day, Listen, Perceive and Understand, capacity to sustain long conversations with patience and above all ALWAYS remembering names. All again intangible, unmeasureable but productive looking to the bottom line
The common ”Outsider” perception of the business is to log on to job portals and downloading profiles and telecalling for conversions and this believe me is a sure shot recipe for disaster…
The Magic Mantra for perfect recruiters is a combination of hard work, volume, trust, clear communication, emotion, empathy and sympathy and there is no thumb rule to do a great job. It Is all instinct and gut feeling and perfect self discipline to keep away from the evils of ready daylong internet access and having no fixed time frame in which an assignment has to be completed…… Herein lies the secret as to why there are not many real GOOD RECRUITERS
The few who follow and thrive on the magic mantra do succeed because they love their job and love working, they love talking to people about their jobs and life goals and if you are inspired to build your own recruiting success at every moment, even if no one is watching, you should know that you’re in the right career.
