Lets face it, we have all been in that "space" of thinking or feeling "I really don't want to do this", or "This is impossible and it will never work out". I am sure you have been there, right? I know I have been there more times than I would care to admit. Have you ever noticed that when you are in that "space", or way of thinking, that things will almost always turn out just the way you say? The context of who you are "being" at that point in time will quite often dictate exactly how the outcome presents itself.
When I was a recruiter I remember taking on several searches that just seemed impossible to fill. I can remember telling myself "This is never going to happen", and then I would begin my day on that note. My research team would supply me with some great leads, and I would call every single one of them and get nowhere. It seemed as if either nobody would answer their phone (ever!), or when they did answer they just weren't interested in speaking to me about the opportunity at hand. Heck, I would even call my best bird-dogs who never let me down, and always had a hot lead, only to find out that they were too busy to speak or had nothing for me as well. My day would end in disbelief and often on a sour note. For the life of me I couldn't figure out why some searches felt so easy and why others were so difficult. Finally one day it dawned on me. Some searches are easy and some are difficult because I SAY SO! Really! It may sounds strange, but if you really think about it, it's true! A search is a search is a search. Fine, there are some searches that require talent which can be more difficult to find, but the talent is out there for us to find IF we really want to. If I start my day thinking "This is never going to happen" or "I can't possibly do this", then how else would I expect my day to turn out? The context I started my day with is "This is impossible", and surprisingly enough (NOT!) the day would end with those very same results.
Who we are "being" at any given moment, or what are thoughts are on a particular matter at hand, will have an impact on the nature of our outcome, results, or in the way we deliver our pitch. It's not magic that I am talking about, it's attitude and the foundation that we are setting for the task at hand. You have heard before that if you smile when talking on the phone to someone that your smile will be "heard" on the other end of the line. Consider that who you are "being" or the context you have set for yourself works in very much the same manner. Give it a try! There is nothing to loose and everything to gain!
A great way to build a solid foundation for success is to begin with having a recruiting tool that is built on that same foundation. From the very beginning, RecruiterBuddy was built with your success in mind. RecruiterBuddy is a completely web-based product with nothing to download and no servers to maintain. The system was built "by" recruiters "for" recruiters. RecruiterBuddy is the easiest to use system that you will ever find. We built RecruiterBuddy to simplify candidate, client, and requisition management, and to streamline the recruitment process while increasing your placements. Standard items that are included in RecruiterBuddy are the resume parser and Sleuth Tool. The Sleuth Tool will source talent outside of your database and automatically parse and import their information as a new contact record. There is really too much to say about RecruiterBuddy, but we invite you to check us out for a free demo and free trial. At $50 per user per month you can't go wrong!

Developing & Nurturing Candidate Relationships
Most recruiters can agree that there are two types of recruitment- passive and active. Passive recruitment tends to lend itself to more candidate involvement. The majority of your time is spent building that relationship with the candidate & earning their trust while all along suggesting and offering opportunities for them to consider. It's not uncommon for the passive candidate to stay in your pipeline for several months because they are only looking to make a career change for the "perfect" position. Contrary to the passive candidate is the active candidate who is ready for a career change now and has typically already begun their search and might even be coming to you as a secondary route.
Regardless of the type of candidate that you are dealing with (passive or active) it is extremely important that they have the experience of "knowing" you. Building candidate relationships with each and every individual that will stand strong over the months and years translates into loyalty and referrals that will increase placements and income. Critical to the process of building that relationship is the art of listening. Make it a practice to be fully present during all of your conversations. Learn what is important to each unique candidate. Perhaps there is a special needs child involved, or maybe their spouse is an avid skier and wants to be near great slopes. Regardless of your candidate's considerations it's important to "get them". Everybody wants to be "gotten". Said another way, everybody wants the experience of being heard and understood. Too often we as human beings are too busy thinking about how we will respond to what's being said and we end up not being present to the conversation. Often as recruiters we are too busy thinking about the role that we need to fill, or our next phone call. It may turn out that the person with whom you are speaking to is not a fit for the role, but by getting to know them you have already begun to establish the trust needed to pitch the role yet to come.
Be sure that every candidate you speak to knows that you are working for them and that you appreciate them. As a recruiter I used to end my calls by asking if there was anything I may have forgotten to ask that is of importance to them, or if there was anything additional that I should know that would make a difference to them and their family. Each call was ended with a "thank you" and a reminder that I was available to them whenever they needed me. Taking and organizing detailed notes during each communication is critical to building and nurturing your blossoming relationships. Having the right tool to assist you in keeping everything at your fingertips is imperative.
RecruiterBuddy is a web-based recruiting tool designed to simplify relationship building and nurturing. Pertinent information is right at your fingertips and users can set reminders for important dates that should be acknowledged. In addition to managing your relationships, RecruiterBuddy also sources for new talent. The RecruiterBuddy Sleuth Tool scours the internet for talent specific to your input and returns only relevant candidates which can be imported to your database with one click of the mouse! The Sleuth Tool and a Parsing Tool are both standard features available to all RecruiterBuddy users. RecruiterBuddy doesn't require any long-term commitment and offers a no obligation trial as well. At $50 per user monthly you can't go wrong! Sign up for your free trial or request a demo at www.RecruiterBuddy.com
