Staying Busy

Sorry it has been a little while since I posted. I have been very busy. Juggling long hours of recruiting and family.

Structuring your day from what I understand is vital, and in my field it is. Having blocks of time scheduled to outbound dial is how you keep your book of candidates top notch. Follow up with you past candidates and keep looking forward. The best piece of advise I ever got was to recruit on skills not position.

Now that you are set up for the day, be sure you keep the volume high, but make sure it is quality volume. Just because you sub eight people in one week, that does not mean you are doing your job. If only 1 person gets an interview then... well you know. On the other hand, if you sub only 4 people and 3 of them get an interview then that is quality.

At the end of the day however it is starts!!! Focus on quality opening, no matter what management says, and focus on quality skills, and that should be the path to more money.

"And that is the rest of the story"
