Any recruiter that is a recruiter should be able to be reached at any time. If you have to leave a voicemail, they should call you back quickly. That is how we roll. So you have a sense of urgency? You should be a recruiter. If you don't hear from them in a timely fashion, good chance they have expired, are in the wrong profession, or apparently may have moved on.
I heard a stat this week. Sobering stat but a stat. The stat is that the recruiting industry is down 37% since the beginning of the year. Wow. The prediction is that we will be down 50% this year. Really wow.
Sobering news. Crazy talk. Well, we typically lose 16-22% so really we are just talking a doubling of the average, right? Thanks, Jeff Skrentny for sharing this point with me. He is a good dude.
The point here is that when you discover your recruiter is gone - please call Andy at 317.585.0463.
Because as those two young ladies sang - couldn't tell you their names, wouldn't if I could recall - as they so poorly sang at my first wedding yet sounded good at the rehearsal - the words of that song ring true today - I Will Be Here. So to steal from the song - tomorrow morning if you wakeup and the future is unclear - I will be here. When you need to speak your mind - I will listen - And I will be here.
The line about to watch you grow in beauty does not apply here. However, let me close with a paraphrase - just as sure as seasons are made for change - who will you turn to to discuss your career? Well, I will be here. I will be here. I will be here. Did I mention..wait I did. Let's talk soon.
