I was recently appointed to manage and train the staff of a boutique Recruitment Company. Honestly not an easy task in global recession, so I decide to put on paper few very simple rules that can use as guidelines and motivators.
- You have two options: First you can believe that the world is coming to and end and no one will ever hire again. Or second you can take a reality check – the simple fact is that there is recruitment going on. If you are a good professional, who is prepared to work hard, build up a network and offer clients a genuine service you will succeed.
- Be more proactive then ever.
- Spend more time with your clients and be ready to work for free as some point.
- Define your Golden candidates – the must be stars and can bring business with them
- Be persistent, don’t give up.
- Use cost effective and SMART tools like social media, websites.
- Use every moment to celebrate your success.
If you do well in this market just imagine how much money you will make when the turnaround comes!
Which are your tips for headhunting in environment of global recession?
