"The World Makes Way For The Person Who Knows Where They Are Going"-Anonymous


As recruiters, whether for a staffing company or as a corporate recruiter we guard the gates of our companies by choosing who gets to come in and join our team and who doesn't. We have the power to create and dictate who we bring on board, how we set the hiring standards, the tone and professionalism of our working environment, and how good we can be by setting a high bar for all of the aforementioned responsibilities. But it is not ever enough just to be a good recruiter you have to be a great one in order to differentiate your company and yourself in the today's market and to assure that you are only hiring the "Best". Why settle for being a lamb and follow the rest when you can be a Lion and dominate the rest? The way we dominate is by having a strategic and competitive edge; we get that edge by attracting, hiring and retaining the best talent available. In order to succeed in this competition for talent we must do five things before each and every interview to improve our recruiting practices and hiring methodologies:


# Come up with five reasons why your company is amazing to work for. Think of reasons why you are at your company when there are so many others to choose from.


# Come up with five reasons why you are great at what you do. Confidence is key for the person looking for a job, but it is even more important for recruiters, because we are selling a potential superstar on joining our company.


# Empathize with the person you're interviewing. Look over this person's resume with admiration and respect and ask yourself: what is something about this person I can respect and admire? Do not start your interview until you come up with at least 5 reasons. (He/She is a leader, President of Student Body, likes to travel, etc).


# Remember your success stories. View your greatest hires as your own children whom you have seen grow up and become successful. Think of your best hires and how well they are doing for the company. Think of how great it makes you feel that you have had such a great impact on the company.

# Get excited: stand up straight, put your shoulders back, take a deep breath, smile and get yourself so excited about working for your company that when you shake your applicant's hand for the first time he feels that they finally found the job they always wanted.

Passion and profits go hand in hand, and things work best when you are at your best. Be your best every day by incorporating these five exercises into your routine and you will see everyone at your company profiting from your experience.
