My understanding of the recruitment industry has evolved…
There is a lot circulating in the marketplace about the state of recruitment…
A common misconception being that recruiters help people – WRONG!
Recruiters serve the corporate entity by finding talent for them. Recruiters have confused these two things, have sold this message to the marketplace, and are getting exposed when their actions don’t align with “helping people”…
People are hurting and rightfully so…
As noble as helping people is, and this is certainly a people driven business, there is more to this…
It’s in every recruiter’s best interest to treat people well, but stop lying to yourself and misleading people in the process…
Physicians help people. Recruiters help the corporation and drive economic growth…
The disconnect started when recruiters thought they had a runway to success that absolved them of their humanity. We forgot that people respond favourably when they are treated with respect…
Historical thought dictates that once you get the business, the candidates will come! No. Secure the business, treat people well, and you’ll enjoy success and longevity in this industry…
Recruiters for years have built with one hand and torn down with the other…
There is a trail of scarred job seekers and passive candidates along the way, yet we have the nerve to boast about advancements in technology and how that will improve our service…
We’ve made the service offering more sophisticated without addressing the character flaws within our ranks…
The key question that every recruiter must answer is, how do you want to be remembered?
If your aim is to be successful in this industry, then you cannot build sustainability on the backs of the most vulnerable in the market…
Recruitments value is far greater and has global impact…
Matching talent to great companies is how you get paid; treating people well is how your legacy is created.
