Morning!

If there’s one place you can count on supremely excellent recruiter and sourcer advice, it’s the Magic Method!  Today there was a sourcing chat entitled

How to find sourcing work in these scary times

(gotta love titles like that!)

and the content is just plain top-notch.  To wit:

…How do you drum up new business?

…I read an article a couple of days ago that reminded me we can’t control the external stuff – we can just control the activity on our desk

…it is a fine line. I don’t cross that line. Do I always tell the truth? – no. Does anyone get hurt? no. I fired a recruiter for purporting (sp) to be a doctor in the ER with an urgent message for someone. That’s borderline criminal

…The company doesn’t get hurt. I am actually helping THEM too! I didn’t hold a gun to the candidate’s head. He/she had a reason to listen to me in the 1st place. That person was going to leave anyway.

…I took some of my own advice and started cold calling…low and behold I drummed up some new biz!

…Think about it – the people you and I chase everyday are not likely to become unemployed any time soon – but they are likely to require a whole different set of skill sets than what many recruiters possess today. Meaning…recruiters are going to have to sharpen their sales skills…..
