It's a privilege to say that you have found your calling. My calling is in Human Resources. Specifically, my calling is recruiting. Apparently I enjoy selling and recruiting is about selling the candidate to the manager and selling the organization to the candidate. My professional history has included 27 years in healthcare of which 23 are in HR/Recruitment. I currently serve as a Recruitment Consultant for Jobscience, Inc. a Recruitment Solutions provider out of San Francisco, CA.

Recruiters and Relationships

I was bothered by an article today that was discussed why HR people act badly.  Since my background has been HR and Recruitment I took the article to heart.  Unfortunately I have to admit that over the years I've committed some of the infractions.  Now more than ever, we need to over extend ourselves as recruiters and HR professionals to create and nurture relationships with our fellow employees and jobseekers.

Number one, these people deserve respect.  Also, they may be the one who provides you with a perfect candidate later one.
