<p>Nice list. This advice is as relevant for Corporate Recruiters as it is for 3rd party. Even the first one "Fire clients..." would be a major win if Staffing leaders made the case that recruiting for poor managers is not in the firms best interest, destroys the employment brand, demotivates recruiters, churns employees and rewards behavior that eventually impacts corp. performance. It takes guts (and I have stories about the consequences if your boss doesn't have your back) but it is a…</p>

<p>OK Greg, I see your point, so make that a 7 point slapping.</p>
<p>I guess it's all in the organization of the points and who they're direct toward.</p>
<p>For example, if you work for a big staffing firm your boss/overlord probably won't give you the right to fire lots of clients. Or any. And if you're in that situation hopefully you aren't being ordered to work on searches from clients you'd like to fire. If so it might be time to ask for a salary, or get smart, head for the door and don't…</p>

<p>My favorite advice over that past weeks to my peers, and those that are unfortunate enough to be in the same room with me, is to "Stop doing what doesn't work", a catch-all for at least 2 of you points.</p> Doug, you are right, of cours…tag:recruitingblogs.com,2012-01-19:502551:Comment:15008172012-01-19T10:32:42.310ZGreg Savagehttps://recruitingblogs.com/profile/GregSavage
<p>Doug, you are right, of course, although by definition any list of things we should do to improve our business, i<em>s a list of things we have control over</em>! We could hardly have a list of action points...that we cannot action! In many ways that is the whole theme of my post. Stuff you can, and must, do now. So I am pretty sure these are six very different points, or maybe five different points and one overarching attitudinal ethos :)</p>

<p>After reading this post and getting that, "where have I heard this before" feeling, I realized that this is not a list of 6 points, but just one point with 5 examples. <em><strong>Focus only on things you have control over.</strong></em> The rest are examples of things that you have control over and should be focused on. Still, I did enjoy getting a 6 point slapping.</p>

<p>I Agree awesome post. I thought clients were only wasting, my, and my own firms time in 2011, it was crazy, I went home thinking of 06, 07, and even some of 08, where we the vendors actually called the shots. Good to hear I was not alone on that one.</p>
