Why Recruiting?
By: Christine Hirsch

For most people, recruiting is rarely their first career choice. Lately, I've had cause to wonder how and why I came to choose the profession. Ten-to-twenty years ago, many recruiters entered the field in a roundabout way. Today, the profession is better established, and recruiting is on the radar screen of many young job seekers. While we've all come into the profession at different times and on different roads, shared is an appreciation of the challenge and excitement of bringing skilled candidates together with employers.

As a management trainee out of college, I dreaded my first rotation in recruiting. Later, struggling to find work in finance or marketing, I took a position as a headhunter. Though initially skeptical, I soon began to appreciate the position for the creativity, variety, and overall savvy it demanded. Recruiting expanded my skills in negotiations, requiring that I master deal making and execute a complex two-way sale. Inevitable misunderstandings and random occurrences further enhanced the challenge for me. As my tenure in the profession grew, I began to view each engagement as a new and unique opportunity to expand my skills.
