"Do you keep magpies in your office who like chasing after the next shiny thing?"

If you want to be more successful working a desk its important that there is a level of discipline during the working day. How often do we make or receive a call which "feels" more important than the task at hand, the sure fire fee from a new job order, the most placeable candidate you've ever spoken to (but not right for the current search!). Its easy to lose focus and get distracted, but this is when big billers come into their own.

Training tip of the day: help the magpie change their habits and focus them on completing tasks, get them to set goals around the days planned activities and rewards for when they are completed (however small). If recruiters can build in self discipline they will be on the way to being someone who wants to be a big biller!
