It’s been a rough year. Companies have downsized and a maybe you’ve lost your job. You’ve sent out dozens or hundreds of resumes, worked your network. What now?
Consultants are maybe more used to searching for the next gig, but even for them, times are tough. And for the companies that panicked earlier in 2020 and let go of all of that talent, intellectual capital and institutional knowledge, how on earth do you find the skills needed to power your 2021 plans?
It somehow seems that in a market chock full of talent that can’t find gigs, companies can’t find anyone to fill their needs.
Enter professional executive recruiters. These are people who’s entire life is spent understanding companies and the skills they need, developing relationships over time with talent in the market and playing matchmaker between the two.
To talk about this, I brought in my friend Brent Stokes from Bluesignal. In our conversation:
- What is professional recruiting? Isn’t it just staffing?
- Why do so many recruiting services get it so wrong when it comes to finding candidates?
- How do job-hunters, consultants, find the right recruiter to work with?
- Why do companies need recruiting services? They have HR already…
- What are some tips for consultants looking for work right now?
- What are some tips for companies searching for talent right now?
