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!
Any company recruiting that thinks "I have the money I have the power" is missing a huge obvious trick. The actual power of hiring is the people. It will make or break your company, get that wrong and good luck to you.
... and I know the people. So. 💅
