Talented people come in all sizes, shapes and colors. They fit into roles like puzzles. No two puzzles are solved in the same way although the end result may be the same.
Recruiting relies on an individuals ability to sell a concept.

Marketing, Marketing, Marketing
Take care when marketing to ensure the sharing of information with others is relevant and appropriate. Marketing is an important activity which should be conducted by individuals who are looking to talk about their backgrounds to market their skill set emphasizing the attributes which are going to get them the job or communicate a certain message.
Marketing activities can be strategic or regular in the sense that they will increase awareness of products or services offered to the customer base being targeted.

Dealing with the turndown from a recruiter's perspective
Wow, candidate turned down a job offer for a position which i am working on. Depending on the situation i could have a sense of it or be completely blindsided. Anyone that says any different i would like to shadow you through life because i am missing something.
Sometimes it can hurt like a painful breakup where you are overly aware that the end has passed you by but you refuse to accept it. More than the conscious deer in headlight look, it is heart dropping to your knees and i can't believe it. The offer derailed over something which could be resolved if the hiring organization and the candidate were BOTH sold on one another. When a company is paying a fee, they deserve to have a candidate which is preclosed on their organization and the benefit of joining such an establishment.
Sometimes candidates are on an ego trip. i just want to work on my interviewing skills. How marketable am i? i really want to strangle candidates like that because it is never advisable to go shopping with no serious intention of transitioning. depending on the organization, it can affect your future employability at that organization.
In my 15+ years experience, i have had my share of turndowns. they were horrible for me because sometimes candidates conveniently disappear when they turndown a job. or they develop a heightened sense of themselves and their resolve translation no more buddy/buddy with the recruiter because my mind is made up. Luckily for me, my turndown percentages are very low but one never gets used to it.
I am in search of retained recruiting positions with locally based chicago companies that are looking to partner with a self employed human resource professional with a strong competency in employment, recruiting and negotiation.
Standard fee: 35% contingency
Retained: $2,500/month up to 24% of 1st year salary
I would love to reduce your turndown activity in hard to fill critical roles...talk to me about my approach and we can loosely determine if we can sort things out.
