OK, I agree and I disagree. There are different kinds of services being lumped under one name: "recruiting". At one end is high-volume sourcing of candidates. This type of service it seems, is more in demand by employers, though they often say otherwise. At the other end of the spectrum is low-volume / high-relationship style of service, which is usually more appealing to candidates. Most recuiters operate closer to one end of the spectrum or the other, but no one is really at the polar…

At the other end of the spectrum is low-volume / high-relationship style of service, which is usually more appealing to candidates. Most recuiters operate closer to one end of the spectrum or the other, but no one is really at the polar extremes. I think the more you can afford to build relationships with candidates, the better, because they can help you with referrals, market info, etc.; plus some of them will become clients. How much time and effort you can invest in these outcomes depends on how much your business model depends on volume of referrals vs. highly-targeted (aka niche) searches<br />

I agree. I have found that when my recruiters develop deep relationships with candidates, not only do we end up with loyal candidates who refer other talented candidates, but they become our external sales force. Even if we aren't successful in placing that candidate, they share our company name with there new employer and we have immediate access to a new client.

I agree with what you've said-- if your working with candidates with very specialized skillsets, the "purple squirrels", as it were. But I cannot develop "relationships" with every one of my past, current, or potential candidates-- that's just not reasonable.

Hey Gavin, I think I disagree with most of what you wrote.<br />
<br />
when you say: "We should stop taking the attitude that we are doing people a favour merely by introducing a potential interview opportunity that could enhance their career!"<br />
<br />
I say, you are doing the candidate a favor by introducing them to what hopefully is a better opportunity. It's a big favor you are doing them.<br />
<br />
Also, I have never heard of an exclusive candidate, what is that?
