My Future in Recruiting

My future in recruiting is a direct result of what I do on my desk today. This very moment. My next call. My next email. My next ............

I've watched (and participated) as Social Media has become one giant magnet for any/all types of "talent" professionals. The phrase "early adoption" keeps coming up. "You better learn this - it's not going away." or "Once your clients and candidates embrace these tools - you'll be glad you were ahead of the curve!"

It didn't take me long to realize I am not paid by being where things are going to be "in the future". I am paid to get things done IN THE PRESENT.

Like today.

Like now.

If I am not generating revenue now - I will have no future.

Let the record reflect: I first heard "It's not going away" from Rayanne. The phrase has stuck with me - and as you can see - is now taking on a life of it's own.

* Rayanne said it first. *

Rayanne said:
Oh, and I give you permission to use "my phrase" in this post. Even though you didn't even ask!

I just think you're grumpy.
