Some Of The Best Things I Did As A Recruiter

by Jason Davis January 18th, 2008

1. Bought Billing Power and Shut Up And Make More Money - Both by Bill Radin

2. Subscribed to the Fordyce Letter - Shameless plug but it’s true

3. Started buying recruiting related domain names in 1997 - I haven’t stopped

4. Started a blog for the semiconductor industry - made many placements from it.

5. Subscribed to zoominfo way back when it was called Eliyon

6. Tried my hardest always to understand what a candidate’s minimum acceptable starting salary was

7. Got through a Steve Finkel Video Series called High Profit Management - One thing jumped out which stuck with me a very long time and saved me boat loads of frustration- I’ll write a post about it soon

8. Tried never to sound like I had to make a deal while talking to a candidate - Yes, I certainly was in a position many times where I just had to make a deal.

9. Organized a real niche splits group called Splits.org - Not in service anymore though I still have many great relationships as a result.

10. Constantly spending money to create little recruiting software applications. - I never publicly launched any of them but it helped along a certain way of thinking about the recruiting process.

What are some of the best things you have ever done as a recruiter to help your business? Point form is ok. I know if you’re a recruiter, you’re probably busy.
