Build Trading Relationships Always, Not Just When You Need Help

by Liz Carey

Life preserver floating in waterGood recruiting partnerships take time to build and maintain.  Sometimes in our recruiting network, we will see recruiters who only go to their partners when they need something. The important to remember that trading partners can choose who they are going to work with, so if they’ve never heard of you until now when you need help, they likely aren’t going to jump in feet first compared to maybe a trading partner that they’ve talked with weekly for the last few months, or someone they’ve met face-to-face over coffee. If you want to be at the top of the list for who other recruiters call when they need help, you better make sure you’re building relationships always.

Here’s how to be viewed as a good trading partner and constantly be building relationships: Read the rest of this entry »

Relationships Win in the Recruiting World

by Liz Carey

Recruiting is a relationship business. Having conversations and building relationships with clients, candidates, and trading partners will lead to long-lasting relationships, loyalty, and repeat business, as opposed to one-off hires.

But due to the current nature of the recruiting business and a candidate shortage, recruiters must act quickly to fill roles, and because of this, there are many recruiters who treat sourcing and recruiting as a transaction. They don’t see the big picture, the long-term view that today’s candidate may be tomorrow’s hiring manager.

But relationships still need to be cultivated through frequent communication — preferably in-person or by phone.

Some of the questions I get – How does it work? How long will it take to get my first split placement fee? Where do I start? Read the rest of this entry »


Evaluating Prospective Recruitment Clients

by Veronica Blatt

If you haven’t read the latest post from Greg Savage, it’s worth your time. In a nutshell, he posits that candidates are both scarce *and* have wildly different priorities than they did pre-pandemic. And that big companies, which have been fertile ground for third-party recruiters, are perhaps not the best recruitment clients that they may have been previously. Read the rest of this entry »
