<p>In this economy, a great recruiter is filling a position mired with enough problems making it "unfillable" from corporate's standpoint. Finding that "two-headed astronaut" or "Purple Squirrel."</p>

<p>Lots of great answers ... Mine are: </p>
<p>Establishing major Trust with the Client that means sometimes telling a client you are not going to make a submission if you can't find the right candidate and if that means losing out on a fee so be it. Establishing trust also allows the Client to value your opinion on making a hiring decision. To establish Trust also requires you to build a long term relationship.</p>

<p>Tenacity - don't just hang the phone up and agree with the the client if you know they made the wrong decision - get the back up references to prove your case and defend your position on a great candidate- great for high end roles. This also helps when trying to land a new client.</p>
<p>Ability to sell/close the Candidate why they should not take the other job - why they should take yours why they need to take a lateral - why they should not take a counter. and, of course, the ability to sell the Client why Johnny can make a difference- Why if you give Johnny some ESL Training he could make manager in 6 months "I am willing to take 5% off the next placement to prove it". It's even better when you're not even power selling but consultative - If mastered could go along way in establishing longevity in this game...</p>

<p>Hi Elise,</p>
<p></p>
<p>Good comments, your absolutely right on identifying the impacts of poor hiring on the hiring manager and how identifying deal killers ahead of time is key. Cheers.</p>

<p>All those things you mentioned are important. What I think is very important is respect and caring. You are intimately involved in people making tremendous life changes. These changing can have far-reaching consequences both positive and negative. This is true on the candidate side for obvious reasons, but it is also true on the hiring manager side.

<p>All those things you mentioned are important. What I think is very important is respect and caring. You are intimately involved in people making tremendous life changes. These changing can have far-reaching consequences both positive and negative. This is true on the candidate side for obvious reasons, but it is also true on the hiring manager side. Making a poor hiring decision can wound a hiring manager longer term and not finding the right people can cripple a project or a department. </p>
<p>So a great recruiter has respect for this situation and truly cares that both the client and the candidate are sucessfull. Also a recruiter cares about the time involved, both candidates and clients are very busy people. I advocate complete transparency from the very beginning to uncover any deal killers or potential problems. </p>

<p>"Nothing sells like stock". The ability to attract great candidates who will only work with you is certainly one of the things that will differentiate from the pack.</p>
