<p>My reasons:</p>

<li>Variety </li>
<li>Working freely with people much smarter, more experienced and vastly 'different' to me</li>
<li>Exercising curiosity on a daily basis as a core function of my role</li>

<p>I have a degree in 'Relationship Counseling', with a business background, so it just sort of made sense. I actually fell into it (recruited by Aerotek initially) but wanted more out of the whole thing. More interaction with clients, more ability to help companies grow, more input on their hiring process (even perhaps NOT hiring someone, but realigning responsibilities), more impact on candidates career paths, more money, more control over my future, etc. You name it, I wanted to be the…</p>

<p>I think my clients appreciate the work we do because they know it's not about the fee, or the bottom line, but it's truly about helping them figure things out from a HR or staffing or employee perspective. </p> I also like the ripple effect…tag:recruitingblogs.com,2013-10-18:502551:Comment:17601042013-10-18T16:56:38.759ZAmy Ala Millerhttps://recruitingblogs.com/profile/AmyAla
<p>I also like the ripple effect - help a guy land his dream job and next thing you know his wife is closer to home, kids are in a better school, there is usually a benefit that extends beyond filling a position or someone getting a job. I love that part.</p>

<p>Well.....I traded a good job as GM of a restaurant group and 90 + hours a week for a "stable" job. LOL! Sucker! But what I really liked first was the energy of joining a growing firm and making good money essentially helping people/clients. </p>
<p>I also believe working hard and smart can directly impact your income whereas other careers can push more and more work at you with no income change. Entrepreneurial mindset is a key attraction for many (me). And of course, for me at least,…</p>

<p>I guess all of the above. And started out by virtue of finding myself adrift after 15+ years, 43 years old, no degree and used to making really good money. My husband had been in recruiting for over 20 years, always wanted me to come work with him but I was too afraid of 1. both of us being self-employed 2. living and working together (and would he be my boss? no way) 3. not being good at it.</p>
