A Good Recruiter
What you should expect from a good HR Recruiter- someone who is well-balanced, representing the firm as well as managing the candidate’s expectations. A good recruiter will engage the job seeker with as much transparency as possible, representing their firm in good light but making sure to close the opportunity so that both the hiring manager and candidate are happy. It is really a shame when this does not happen and it is more frequent than we admit.
“They know how to steer the right candidates to the right managers because they have deep knowledge of the needs and capabilities of each through their networking skills and ability to influence. While each takes a different approach, there is lots of overlap and commonality between them. They can push and pull candidates and managers toward a mutually desirable end.”
