Just turned a client down who treated me and my candidate like shit during a first engagement. 20 years of doing this and saying 'no' to people who recruit disrespectfully still feels fantastic. My dudes: I do this because I love getting great folks great jobs. That's why I'm well regarded in the industry. I work equally for my candidates *and* client who pays me, and every smart company hiring knows that's why the best in the business are in my rollerdeck. It's not rocket science. Be kind!
