Motivation energizes our efforts to keep taking the actions that lead to placements. Money has never been a true motivator for me. It’s a nice reward for sure, but once there’s plenty of money around the moment of truth arrives for each Recruiter. What is it that makes us want to do our job well?

Recruiting is a wonderful profession. If you have common sense and a desire to do what is right for the candidate and your client you will find recruiting to be rewarding emotionally, intellectually, and financially. Most importantly you can control your schedule and live a balanced life.

These three common recruiting mistakes take big money out of the pockets of Recruiters. These common mistakes
slow down a Recruiter’s productivity. Mistake #3 takes control out of a Recruiters’ hands.

Mistakes:
#1. Recruiters who depend on Job Boards as their primary source to find candidates are losing out big-time.

Lots of people toy with the idea of becoming a Recruiter, and then talk themselves out of taking the leap. Recruiting is about ‘process’ not personality when done properly. If you’re considering becoming an Executive Recruiter, my advice is get some basic training related to the WHOLE process and decide where (and if) you’d fit into that process.

Full cycle recruiting means a Recruiter knows how to obtain a search (ie; find a job order and evaluate the parameters of that job order), negotiate the fee, find an ideal candidate, manage the interview, offer, and acceptance process, close the deal, and get paid within 10 days after the candidate starts. Today there are thousands of people in the business world calling themselves Recruiters who, ironically, don’t know the fundamentals of recruiting!
