<p>Well I work alot of contract work...I'd say about 15 minutes. Called a guy up, had every qualification known to man, filled out his profile on the phone, got his supervisor to do a reference with my reference girl (supervisor was right next to him when I called). Sent profile over to facility, hired immediately, called him back accepted put in 2 week notice as was in Hawaii 2 weeks later. Extended 4 times, 3 month contract at a time.

<p>Some times (though rarely) in contract staffing a client (who trusts you) simply says "We need a guy in here Monday" and I will then connect with a qualified person and hire them. Not quite the same - but it is always a thrill!</p>

<p>Spoke with a new-ish client at 11am on a regular catch-up call when the Client mentioned a requirement for a Junior Software Tester with french language skills and I mentioned a Candidate I had spoken with who sounded like they would fit the requirement.

Client agreed with me and agreed to interview that day if the Candidate was interested. Called the Candidate and sold the opportunity. Candidate delighted but had yet to update their resume. Called Client to arrange interview and explained the fact that resume would not be available, Client was happy to proceed with interview at 2pm which went well. Offer made at 3pm and accepted. Candidate started the next day in a new perm position and became one of their top employees.</p>

<p>I was presented a niche job that was impossible for my client to place and we found a candidate and placed them in the position AND they started in less then a month. This secured a long lasting partnership with a client that had never partnered with an agency. We have now just placed our 3 candidate with them!</p>
