I would say a combination of meeting the "great expectations" of the Client as well as getting the Client to make a timely decision on the candidate.

I would have to say that the greatest challenge for me right now is finding candidates who meet the higher quality standards and lower compensation levels our clients seem to be striving for right now.

I haven't been on a desk as a recruiter in over 10 years but as a senior executive and Managing Director of National Recruiting for a Staffing firm, I've worked very closely with my recruiting teams in developing strategic and tactical plans to source and attract new talent. Our clients have typically been the Fortune 500 with large VMO's along with some mid-markets firms. We see them wanting top notch candidates with a laundry list of specific skills but not willing to pay for the expertise. As Jennifer Berry stated, they aren't in tune with the shrinking talent market and the demand for quality talent.

I'm currently looking for a new opportunity as a recruiting director, staffing director or branch manager in the Dallas Tx area.

Hi Donato,

At the moment, my greatest challenge is to land a new contract or full time role. My last couple of years have been spent at Google, and now I'm off to find something new. As a working recruiter, my greatest challenge is in getting referrals and leap-frogging from referral to referral. Once I have a solid candidate, I am golden.

Best,

Jason

Hello and TGIF! I guess my toughest challenge would be making the hiring managers to go "faster", I guess I run too fast that I just want all of those managers to go as fast I do but as my old VP said "patience is a virtue"....
