In today's episode, I pop off about best practices when it comes to recruiting. I share my extensive experience in headhunting, discussing the challenges and strategies involved in finding top talent. I reflect on my journey from a novice recruiter during the recession to successfully placing high-level executives. We talk about the importance of emotional intelligence, candidate energy, and professionalism in the recruitment process, while also critiquing popular recruiting platforms.

takeaways

• I transitioned from fundraising to headhunting during the recession.
• The recruitment industry is worth 200 billion dollars due to its challenges.
• Traditional platforms like Indeed are often ineffective for finding quality candidates.
• Paying attention to a candidate's energy can indicate their suitability.
• Professionalism and soft skills are crucial in the hiring process.
• The follow-up process must be handled delicately to avoid appearing desperate.
• TOP TALENT has HIGH EQ
• Temporary staffing solutions can be beneficial during economic downturns.
• Crafting intentional messages to candidates increases response rates.
• Recruiting is about understanding both the candidate and the employer's needs.
