Recruiting changed my life in so many ways. In this life lesson's episode, I share how recruiting pulled me out of a terrible financial bind I was dragged into by my dad who has been a troublesome and controversial person for the majority of my life.

Furthermore, the work environment at a recruiting firm can be stressful so I had to take measures to learn how to best navigate interactions with colleagues as well as figure out my personal wealth building strategy (real estate investing) while working a full time job.

Just like for candidates, your client strategy needs to be top in class to make it to become a dominant force in your market.

Here are the key questions to ask of your potential clients to make sure you're not walking into a mess of a situation.

If you work with clients you like, that your candidates are interested in, that pay at a rate that will get deals to close, that interview with the right speed to make things happen, then you'll never get off the gravy train.

While agency recruitment 100% is a sales job, it's not like a typical sales job in which you're selling a simple commodity at a price that doesn't really change anyone's life.

It's easy to convince someone to buy something but not the same when trying to get somebody to take on a job to change THEIR LIFE.

These monumentous decisions don't come lightly so recruitment is a highly refined sales role which requires ultimate talent, technique, and engagement. Here are some tips to help you SELL to your candidate.

As I've gotten older (not smarter, just more weathered), I've learned some key lessons about what worked for others and what I saw really got in the way of happiness and success.

My goal is always more money and more happiness, not more money more problems, so I've adopted these attitudes towards jobs, money, and people, that have greatly helped keep me on track.

Don't sweat the small stuff - manage the key elements in your life, job, and relationships, and you'll be good to go!

As a headhunter, WE are the leaders when it comes to knowing how candidates think, act, and behave.

When deals drop, it's not the candidate's fault.

Candidates, like all humans, are RIGHTFULLY self-serving. Doesn't make them bad people, doesn't make them mean or selfish, just means they're human.

KNOWING that, it's YOUR job to understand human nature and how that translates into human behavior, lifestyle, worldviews, and use all of that knowledge to anticipate their next move.

Leveraging your depth of analysis, you can then endeavor to either place the person successfully or cut them out of process so as to not waste your time with droppers.
