Top Tips to Becoming a Better Recruiter and Big Biller
So you think you’re it with a cherry on the top, right? Every recruiter wants to be better, win new clients and be the big biller in the business… but not everyone can reach the dizzy recruitment heights of star-consultant.
Being the best recruiter does not equal showing up in your Audi and waving your Rolex around in people’s faces, climbing to the top requires some seriously hard graft. You need to be adaptable and able to focus on growth, as well as development. How you define success is up to you, but ultimately you have to have a basic understanding that it’s not all just about numbers on the board.
If you want to be a better recruiter then you need to figure out how to hack your productivity to make the most of your day, which will leave you with more time to develop relationships with your clients.
We’ve put together a handy list for you to work through, which will help you to become the recruiter you’ve always wanted to be and bring in the most business.
Top dollar, top biller
Grow your network like a pro and with intent, don’t just introduce yourself to people for the sake of it, and always have a battle plan for winning new clients. With virtual meet-ups becoming more common, think of out-of-the-box ways you can connect with quality individuals - and make sure they’re the decision-makers. Utilise platforms such as Clubhouse and Eventbrite- you never know when you’ll strike Big Biller gold.
Embrace new technology
We know there are many recruitment agencies that are still yet to adopt any kind of recruitment software or technology in their business. If you’re in one of those, then say yes to demos of innovative new technology when people approach you. It might be something that you can present to management as a way to make everyone a better recruiter. If it’s something more individual, then it may be a way for you to improve your productivity and ultimately help you to become a big biller.
Get on top of your life-work balance
We know we’re shattering a huge recruiting myth here, but your evenings are your own and should never be spent in the office. Going home on time and relaxing will help you focus more during the rest of your week. This is even more important when you’re hungry for success, as it will help you be a better recruiter in the long run and make sure you’re not running yourself into the ground while hunting for new clients.
This has been a tough year for everyone
You need to engage and interact with clients authentically, from a human perspective, and with empathy. Both clients and candidates have gone through a rough year, so any support you can offer them will only improve their view of you and the business. Reaching out to them in this way will mean you’ll be top of mind the next time they need help with their recruitment.
