Topic: The Bipolar Recruiter: e spent the bulk of the time as a pure candidate guy, sourcing/headhunting. I had some solid success in my career, and then things went haywire, literally. I had a rough estimate of close to 15+ jobs since 2009 and just kept spiraling. Finally, a sick mind realizes it is ill and it isn't just the market. I was and am bipolar. If you know someone who is, then you understand. If you don't, well most likely do but they are afraid to admit it. It is not fun. Now on medication, go to therapy and that is all great. But of course, for all my past indiscretions, meaning taking jobs and bailing and just screwing up, getting a job with another firm at least for the immediate future isn't going to happen.

Primary owner isn't looking to invest more into more people and I need to make something stick. I can cold call anyone when I am recruiting looking for candidates, but even then and now, I am not about the relationship as my illness doesn't really support that mentality. I build a list of companies to call for business, and it still doesn't get done. This situation is bare bones, meaning no established clients, db... How do i do the job without a sales team and do it my way, purely headhunting and sourcing? I have to make this work, as I am holding onto a family by a string and need to dig my way out of the hole that was dug. Apologies for making this a therapy session. Appreciate any help and guidance.…; Added by Jack Owens at 1:36pm on September 26, 2014
