Comment on: Blog Post 'What makes you think you deserve a "premium" fee?': my busy part of the day or in the evening) Why do i deserve the premium fee? "It's not what i do that is different, it's what i don't do." "I play by your rules, i don't call you 50 times a day or five minutes after a candidate interviews to get feedback or try and hard sell my candidate. I expect feedback or questions in a reasonable time frame". If you give me one listing i will not go to your web site and run ads /recruit for every position you have posted then try to submit candidates for positions that you did not list with me." "I don't call your hiring managers unles you ask me to meet with them or have a phone conference." I don't throw a kick ass righteous fit when you turn down the candidate i thought could walk on water." I will find out why i missed it and change direction instead of arguing with you or telling you that your hiring manager is a dumb ass who needs to be replaced". (that by the way was a quote that i heard last week from an HR director as to why they had dropped a recruiter off their radar)."I won't bore you with long speeches about how wonderful i am, i will just do my job." I don't send candidates that are marginal just to prove that i can flop something in your ATS so i have some goofy reason to call you and ask you about a C level candidate." I don't call you to whine that your job order, company , internal recruiter, other recruiters you work with or anything else sucks buttermilk." I got my ego in order a long time ago, if i don't know something about the specs you give me i'll ask , listen and then go research until we both learn something. I am not a one trick pony that can only recruit in one vertical. I have placed everything from fast food managers to subspecialty physicians who make a purple squirrel look like a garden variety weed. You have to move from one division of your company to the other so i can move with you as we learn to work together. Besides all the don'ts that make you hate recruiters and their high blown bullshit, i am funny as hell and i will listen when you want to bitch about everybody you work for and with , the crazy candidate you brought in who did some nutty thing that made you look like an idiot and i won't tell anybody. Then we can get over our cheap selves, pick up the girls or the boys and go fill a position. If you need me to cut a fee a little bit to get you some help, i'll do it. If you ask me to help you fill 10 positions by the end of the month i will shoot you a quote for a turnkey fee if i get and exclusive or a retainer. I don't want to be the person you call when all else fails and heat is on. I do want to be the person you call the day you get the req and you want to fill it fast. I will stay up all night looking for candidates and i will work on weekends to help you hit your deadline. You can call me at home or on my cell anytime. My goal is to be part of your team, not some ass that you have to call and don't really want to. Most of all i want to prove to you that not all recruiters are arrogant, ignorant, narcisitics jerks who pride themselves on knowing more about what you do than you do while driving you crazy in the meantime and wanting to be overpaid to terrorize you. How about lunch tomorrow i have some great "wretched recruiter" stories that will make you laugh.…; Added by Sandra McCartt at 5:15pm on June 3, 2010

Topic: Can I Quote You? Part 2: fortune of interviewing. Enjoy! "Corporate recruiting = post and pray. That drives me nuts. I am a proactive recruiter. When I identify good candidates, I am invested to get them invested." ~Becky Metcalf, Former Bully ;-) "It's the strong recruiters with the relationships built over the years that will last. It will be the scramblers that will fail. You have to know how to sell and understand really what recruiting is. A recruiter is a recruiter is a recruiter. Forget that you are a specialist in this or that and remember that you are, above all, a recruiter. Your specialty is that you are a recruiter. 'Get your job done and get it done cost-effectively,' keeping your ego in check is also necessary for continued success. I got over my cheap self years ago." ~Sandra McCartt, a recruiter since Lincoln was a cadet "A lot of the companies that post IT positions, the HR departments, they look strictly for word match because they do not know IT. For instance, if the candidate needs to know a particular programming language, HR simply matches words. But I can look at a job description and résumé and be able to tell almost instantly whether or not the person is a fit. I can see what an HR professional cannot. Not only do I see what is there, but I see what isn't there. If a particular skill or ability is missing from the résumé and that seems out of place to me, I make a simple phone call, and ask the right questions to discern the candidate's ability because I know the job, I know the terminology and that sets me apart." ~Michael Crooks, Director of IT turned Recruiter "All the things that are going on, how can we attract candidates like never before? How we grow, how we engage? I am looking ahead five, ten, twenty years down the road." ~Joel Cheesman discussing why he launched mJob, almost as "cool and progressive" as his blog. …; Added by Rayanne at 2:18am on May 28, 2009
