The ONLY game we Recruiters should play, is “the long game”…
One of the nicest things about having been around a while, is seeing and appreciating long term relationships as they continue to work year, after year, after year, after year…
I’ll try and illustrate what I mean, with a few examples from my own business…
I made my first placement with Six Degrees Executive11 years ago. (That Candidate is still there!) And I made my most recent placement with them just 6 weeks ago.
I made my first placement with FourQuarters Recruitment11 years ago. (That Candidate is also still there!) My most recent placement starts with them in September.
I made my first placement with Bluefin Resources9 years ago. (Yep, he’s still there!) I placed 3 Recruiters into that same Candidate’s team in the last financial year.
I made my first placement with Redpath Partners10 years ago. My most recent placement starts with them in September.
I made my first placement with Sharp & Carter 8 years ago. (They are still there!) I made 2 placements with them in the past 9 months.
I made my first placement with Davidson8 years ago. I have placed 4 people there in the past 5 months.
I made my first placement into Design & Build Recruitment/Public Sector People12 years ago. I have placed 4 people there in the past year.
Relationships, and loyalty, mean everything in this industry. EVERYTHING!
Make sure YOU play “the long game”…..
