You want just ONE tip on recruitment success?

You want a tip on your recruitment career?

Don’t mess with your reputation.

It’s the only thing you will take with you when you leave. Every contact with candidate, clients or colleague is a ‘moment of truth’.

Ask yourself after every interaction. ‘Did what I just did, or said, enhance or damage my reputation?’ Remember it’s not only the candidates you help — it’s the ones you don’t help. Client too. And colleagues. And suppliers.

Treat people with respect, do what you say you’re going to do, never screw anyone over, and in the long-run your reputation will get you there.

Your reputation is your elixir of eternal recruitment career life.

Protect it and burnish it.

Through your actions.

HI Greg You nailed it, as usual. Every call/meeting/email/interaction has the potential of huge downside. How did the recipient interpret what was said/done? Inflections, body language, context can all change the meaning - or what you thought your meaning was supposed to be. Thanks for reminding us of a 'life lesson'
