For those that attended the ERE webinar – Going from Good to ‘Elite’ – - I hope I inspired you to take action J!
For those that missed it we discussed the competencies/skills of Elite Recruiters. I have also started work on another fun project related to this subject…
Shamelessly stealing from Jeff Foxworthy – - “You know you are a redneck if . . . “comedy routine, I am trying to develop a LONG list of “You know you are an Elite Recruiter if . . . “.
This fun exercise has also been inspiring me to reflect on what it is to be an Elite Recruiter and what I need to do to be one! Performing at an elite level doing anything is very difficult. Recruiting is no different.
Documenting these attributes in a fun way helps keep this passion burning and top of mind.
So OK – - You know you are an ‘Elite Recruiter’ if . . .
- You get referrals from candidates you turn down for a position.
- Your hiring managers ask you who they “should hire” . . . And listen to your advice.
- Candidates seek your input on preparing for the interview with the hiring manager, making a decision on an offer, etc.
- You keep track of all the people you have hired and have kept up an ongoing relationship with 90% of them.
- You track your performance (quality, efficiency, responsiveness/ delivery) on a quarterly basis.
- You quantify the ROI of your services to your key stakeholders.
- You have clearly written quarterly Performance Improvement goals.
- You spend time each week helping those less fortunate find employment, craft a better resume, prepare for an interview, etc.
- You invest at least 15 minutes to ½ hour developing a written – hour by hour – daily plan of action that you deploy before each day.
- You have received gifts from candidates/hiring managers for “changing their life” for the better.
PLEASE – WE ARE LOOKING FOR MORE ADDITIONS TO THIS LIST! Can you please email us at info@leanhumancapital.com with your ideas!
