I've been recruiting for over 7 years, with the focus on Talent Acquisition in the IT arena. I have also managed few teams of recruiters operating from different locations as a part of my managerial capabilities.

My recruiting philosophy is fairly simple and has 4 components

Customer Service…Continually improve your level of personal customer service and how well you manage them will directly impact your level of success as a recruiter.

Professionalism…Treat your Customers and Consultants with the level of professionalism you would like to be treated. If you are having a bad day in showing up professionalism, take a break and you would be surprised what wonders a short break can do.

Relationship Development… A recruiter is nowhere without good relationships. You can continually improve your relationships by providing excellent customer service; it will be remembered and appreciated longer than you may think. They will recognize you as a professional who can be trusted. Do little things to show your appreciation for any help or information you’ve received from them.

Personal Growth…Continually seek knowledge and professional self-improvement. The more knowledgeable you are, the more help you can provide to others.
