Recruiting the Recruiter

Posted by Gretchen Benes on Friday, April 10th, 2009

I have been helping friends, colleagues, candidates and complete strangers throughout my career understand the mindset of a recruiter and how to work best with one.  Not all of them are as helpful, courteous and solution oriented as you would expect. 

It can be very frustrating to navigate the terrain of interviewing but Jeff Lipshultz has written a series on Recruiting the Recruiter (Part I) and Recruiting the Recruiter (Part II).  It is one best writings I have read on the “How To” of working with a recruiter; corporate, retained or contingent.

The articles include:

  • Hot Buttons: How to keep yourself from being the topic of the next staff meeting
  • The Good, The Bad and The Ugly: How to tell the difference
  • The Relationship: How to maximize your time together with a messy break-up

So next time you are preparing for an interview, take a minute to familiarize yourself with these articles.  It will provide a tremendous amount of value to you and coupled with company research – you will knock it out of the park!  Good Luck!
