How To Master A Full-Desk Recruiting Job - Work It Daily Working a full-desk recruiting job is not easy. You have to not only recruit the best talent, you also have to find and establish relationships with employers so they’ll let you fill their open positions. This can be a bit overwhelming. Not only do you have to “sell” employers on the idea of letting you recruit for them, but you also have to “sell” candidates on the idea of letting you represent them. The key to success is having a plan. The problem is, most full-desk recruiters aren’t given a plan to work with! It’s up to them to figure out how to find clients and candidates. Don’t be a ‘spray pray’ recruiter! A common mistake rookie full-desk recruiters make is to approach the process with a “spray pray” mentality. They start calling every company, trying to find any open requirement they can fill. This is working harder, not smarter. Instead, you need to learn how to connect your company search to the skill sets you are most capable of recruiting. In this video, Ed and J.T. walk you through the steps you need to take to choose the right target group of employers so that you can be more strategic in the kind of talent pipeline you build.
