I'm not a recruiter right now. I once was. I may be again someday.

I remember that it was tough to get past gatekeepers and get the attention of hiring managers. I was good at it. But, it still S*%^ED.

So, I offered a recruiter a way to connect with virtually any senior HR executive or hiring manager using a very positive, non-threatening approach that virtually assured a face-to-face meeting. Interestingly, he declined. He didn't argue that the approach wouldn't work. He sited that his firm was specialized and that they were busy.

Good for him. I am a bit surprised. While I know there are always areas of growth in recruiting (even during down times), I generally understood most recruiters are hurting a bit. I may have this wrong though. Or, this man (and his entire staff) are blessed.

Oh, yeah. If you want to know the approach, I'd be happy to tell you. The only catch is you have to be in Dallas / Ft. Worth or want to recruit for companies with operations in this area.

Oh, by the way...I'm not selling anything...
