PROSPECTIVE CANDIDATES:
If we are discussing a potential search position with you, please tell me ALL that is relevant. WHY?
If we are discussing a potential search position with you, please tell me ALL that is relevant. WHY?
It's important to be open and honest with the exec search consultant (aka, recruiter, headhunter, etc). For example:
You have been interviewing with a competitor of my client company? I need to know this~
You didn't like the client contact first meeting? I need to know this~
Your wife/husband doesn't want to relocate? I need to know this~
Your background reveals an issue or position not stated on paper? I need to know this~
In an effort to orchestrate the "Perfect Match" I need/have to have, honesty, open communication
This Blog was prompted by a white lie that cost my client time and money, cost the candidate a great opportunity, and myself time and money~
Be open with the search consultant. We are experienced at overcoming basic flaws of all sorts. It's called a human thing. There are no perfect companies, no perfect people. However, There are Perfect Matches.
