Comment on: Blog Post 'Any body CANNOT be a Recruiter': rent opinions, in my opinion). I've seen 300+ people try to become recruiters in my career, and only a handful of them succeeded. I wouldn't call most of them really recruiters, in any case, even in some of the cases where they became Corporate HR people -- and most wouldn't disagree with me, either. Recruiting is a brutal profession that most people shouldn't try and couldn't succeed at, even if they made great efforts. The sheer volume of phone calls required is one of the first barriers... I've seen plenty of "qualified" people try to make more than nine calls in a day, and find they just couldn't do it... I averaged over 100 calls a day for my first several years, and we kept records of all of them to review... Most people don't have the tenacity, or the will-power, or the skills at research to do this job. I am defining the ability to earn a living at this type of work "success", here. Also, I want to make a big distinction between HR and Recruiters. They are very different roles. It's a whole lot easier to be an HR person than it is to be a recruiter. I seriously think that it takes as much talent or skill to be a recruiter as it does to be a lawyer or doctor. I know plenty of people who have siblings that are attorneys who are just barely keeping their heads above water as a recruiter... and I've seen an attorney who switched to recruiting work out -- for about six months until he decided he couldn't take it anymore. I will stick my neck out and say that I think that identifying anyone who has the skills and personality to become a successful recruiter is about as hard a search as there is... despite what ignorant software engineers might tell you.…; Added by Nicholas Meyler at 8:20pm on January 28, 2016
