Finding the right candidate for the jobs that your client needs is the sole purpose that recruitment companies are used, and it is the job of the consultant to do this effectively.
Essential for any good recruitment consultant is the ability to build, maintain and strengthen relationships with client companies.
The best consultant will have a good understanding of the requirements for a company's recruitment needs and they can recognise the right candidates for the job that is on offer.
Providing advice to both candidates and clients, the recruitment consultants know about career opportunities, salary levels and training requirements.
A good recruitment consultant must...
Have the ability to listen and understand human nature, understanding what a client wants is the first step to successful recruiting
Be proactive and adaptive, if at first you don't succeed, try and try again, have a plan B.
Be resilient- as a recruitment consultant you will have good days and bad days, one day a company may be recruiting heavily and sales will be high. On the other side of the coin bad days in any business are a certainty, a good consultant can turn negatives into positives.
Be competitive-The recruitment industry is highly competitive but can be highly rewarding.
Be competitive and you will reap the benefits.
Do what you say you're going to do- In order to maintain your candidates and your clients relationship you must build trust, if you say you will do something stick to it.
Go the extra mile for your client. Strengthen your business relationship with the client by having a clear understanding of the challenges and motivations that they have.
Negotiate. Another essential part of being a recruitment consultant is knowing how to decide the salary and pay rates.
Ultimately client companies are looking for an originality that sets you apart from other recruiters. Be sure to have a unique and refreshing image that is balanced with the view that you are also professional and reliable.
Good recruitment consultants will strive for perfection no matter how successful they may already be. Recognising how to maintain strong bonds between client and company is the vital ingredient.
Always continue to find new ways of being both imaginative and creative because sometimes things won't work but if you take risks, you will reap the fruits later.
Remember you're a clients answer to cupid, shoot the right arrows at the right candidates and create the perfect match. Be a forward-thinking and proactive company so that you can find the best talent regarding both your business, and the client's business growth.
