IT’S THE SAME THROUGHOUT THE WORLD

I recently addressed an International Audience and it’s amazing, how similar our business is throughout the world. We have the same challenge - a lack of Top Talent and more job orders than we can fill. Other countries are relaxing their visa requirements to attract talent from other countries. When I visited S. Africa, they had more than 10,000 construction positions available trying to build the new arenas for the World Cup which is being held there in 2010.
The Recruiter with the candidate is WINNING! You must become a magnet for Top Talent. You need to identify a new source for candidates at least once a quarter! Remember to always ask for referrals and always have a sample listing of your job opportunities that you can email to everyone you speak to when you are making networking calls. The lateral marketing will dramatically increase your candidate flow.
The next time you’re complaining about the lack of Top Talent….remember - that is GOOD for recruiters! If it was simple for our clients to find top talent they would not need us! Remember - you need to become a MAGNET FOR TALENT!
