This may not be a comfortable read. Almost all recruiters tell themselves huge lies. I did it when I was a recruiter, and I did it when I was manager too. It’s a human trait on a broader level for sure, as well. We finesse reality to make ourselves feel better. We tweak the truth […].

We live in a world run by smart phones and text messages. We can rent a movie, order dinner, and confirm an airplane ticket right from our pockets. Smartphones, along with texting, have become a common necessity in today’s day and age. It is not out of the ordinary for you to receive text notifications from various service providers ranging from doctor appointment reminders, to alerting you that your car service is done.

TGIF people! Congratulations to all you work folk who’ve made it this far. Yes, I’m sure a few of you have left a few soldiers behind working on deadlines and whatnot. BUT…that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t make the most of your Friday! When you work Monday-Friday, you literally live for the weekend. The weekend starts the minute you walk out of work with that big happy head on you.

Next week sees the realisation of two different projects we have been working on within our business for quite some time now, and it’s fair to say I’m a bundle of nervous excitement and energy about it all. Rice Consulting as a business has always sought to adopt an innovative approach to things. Innovation is a constant theme running through the company and it flows with abundance through everyone who works here.

Not long ago I wrote how ‘unique candidates’ are the future of successful recruiting. Indeed, recruiters talk a great deal about securing exclusive job orders (although few recruiters actually know how!) while we should really put equal focus on negotiating exclusivity with highly specialised, in-demand candidates. The rewards for doing so are juicy-sweet.

Today’s recruiter is never ‘done‘ You are never ‘trained’, ‘expert’, or ‘finished with learning’. It’s constant renewal, up-skilling and starting again. That is your challenge from today on.

Is it as we have always suspected? That recruiters are themselves, poor recruiters? Like the cobblers kid who had the worst shoes, do recruiters have the worst recruitment process?

Recruiters love to be busy. Or to be more accurate, they love to feel busy. Same goes for many recruiting managers. If everyone is busy, busy, busy, they are happy. Happy, but dumb.

Candidate sourcing is a very specialized and difficult position. Sourcers or researchers must use multiple platforms to find the most qualified candidates for a given job. Where those candidates are found can be hard to pinpoint: 78% of candidates use social media in their job search, but the best candidates for a position may be hidden somewhere else.
