What makes a great recruiter and how can you discover whether the person you're interviewing is one or not?

That's the theme of today'sMike Ames Recruitment Show.

Over the years I've employed well over 100 recruiters and estimate I've interviewed over 1000.

I've learned some very hard lessons along the way (some cost me a lot of money).

But I believe it comes down to a handful of characteristics and some key interview questions to bring them out.

So we start by exploring the characteristics I believe all great recruiters have.

Then we give you some questions that you can ask in interviews that may help discover whether they will be able to cut it or not.

We all know how expensive it is in time, money and distraction if you hire the wrong people – this show should help keep these to a minimum.
