Two recruiters called me last month
to offer recruiting assistance on a project they
heard was taking my company, IRES, Inc. longer than
normal to fill. This was a routine search in the
fifty- to sixty-thousand range that IRES had filled
hundreds of times before, but we just got caught
in a backlog this one time.
The
recruiters were right about the period of time being
longer than usual. And they were both right we had
reached the point where we needed help. And since
both were esteemed individuals I've known and respected
for well over ten years, I decided to invest about
a half hour with each so as to fully explain the
search. I
should emphasize both of these individuals travel
through recruiting associations, attend conferences,
keep their skills sharp, and represent that single
digit minority I would entrust sensitive projects
to.
You
could understand why I was frustrated when after
both recruiters told me "we'll get right on this"
they proceeded to not call back for one week. Then
two weeks. Then three weeks.
Sadly,
this is the manner in which many recruiters treat
their clients. This type of behavior is not limited
to recruiter-recruiter relationships alone. And
this is why most clients and hiring managers develop
a disdain for recruiters.
