Kevin Wheeler The Four Bad Habits of RecruitersMove toward a position of respect and strategic leverage...I have watched recruiters come and go over the years, and I am always a little surprised that so very few are ever highly successful. By successful I mean they become well known in the profession and are admired by and sought after by knowledgeable CEOs and headhunters. Few become leaders who have taken command of the recruiting process of a company and have been successful in forging a function that both competes effectively against other organizations and consistently supplies their organization with quality talent without relying on the use of extraordinary measures.
In my many years in the profession, I have only known a handful of these people. Most corporate recruiters become recruiters by accident and leave the profession for some other HR or related field after a short stay. Their stay is a rollercoaster of half-completed technology implementations, high staff turnover, and muddled objectives, and they often leave a legacy of unhappy hiring managers. To achieve even the simplest objectives, they have to use outside resources, employ a large number of recruiters, or seek to outsource the function.

Five ’08 resolutions every recruiter should make!
Resolution time! Although New Year’s resolution lists tend to be more prolific than fruitcake this time of year, some resolution lists shouldn’t be ignored. And — you guessed it — this is one of those lists.
1. Embrace deeper communication
Today’s candidates — especially gen-Yers — are becoming more and more comfortable with (and even dependant upon) technology. Many communication barriers that existed just a few years ago no longer exist today. Recruiters should get used to using web-based technology (i.e., blogs, instant messaging, social networking, etc.) to communicate with candidates more often and more deeply. Getting closer to the heart of what a candidate truly wants from a position and from a company will enable us to take our recruiting to deeper, more competitive levels.
