9 things I wished I knew before becoming a RECRUITER 

Very Helpful and informative, as you say, "One needs to think outside the box, and put yourself out there" try different things.

Me watching this video😂because I applied, Got the job. But I did not know what i got the job for lol

Love Dales book! Jr. Recruiting here been doing that for 2 and a half years. I did 4 years sourcing. Love it!

Bravo just amazing everything you explained was spot on. Just in 10 minutes everything you put across in a nutshell.

you are a genius my friend. I seriously enjoyed listening to your videos. thank you so much for creating and sharing.

Thanks mate, I am looking for a job in recruitment and this helped a lot.

Valuable information on recruiting! Thanks for a well organized overview! I have a big zoom second interview with the Talent Division Manager and the Director of Client relations for the staffing agency I'm applying at!

Recently graduated college and just got my first job as an exec search associate. This video makes me feel excited to begin. Thank you!!

Awesome 👏🏾 you make it look so easy thank you 🙏🏽

I’ve been a tech recruiter for almost 10 years and I work for tech Fortune 500 company. I concur with his statements. 😄😄 But for me, what I wish I knew about this line work is that the job nature makes it a little unstable at times. 1. Our work can be really unstable. Companies can go on a hiring spree for few quarters and hiring freeze/slows the next. 2. Hard to justify & quantify what is manageable amount of work Some employer expect you to handle 40-80 open positions while some expect you to handle at maximum 20. 3. You MUST enjoy talking to random people and else you will not like this function. Truthfully, this function is not for everyone. 4. Managing pipeline. This is the most important , else you will struggle. 5. It is ultimately a SALES job. You are selling the position you are hiring for.

Great video thank you Preston

Wow I learned so much. Thank you!!!!🎉

I'm working for tsa currently (6 months in and I'm ready to jump off the boat). I had a random thought of doing recruiting today but i was not knowledgeable about it, until I stumbled upon your video

I have a final interview for a recruiting job tomorrow and this has been really helpful! Pumped and hoping to land it

Preston, love your content! Any recommendations on how to decide what space to start recruiting into?

Needed this today. Been recruiting trades for just over a year. And have been asking myself lately why am I doing this? Well you reminded me why. Thank you! ♥️🇨🇦♥️

Thank you this video really helped .

Great knowledge sharing for recruitment industry, Clients , Candidate Management...

Very helpful. Thank you

Very informative. I applied at temp agencies as a recruiter but they all want Someone with experience which I do not have. I had four year bachelors degree on industrial and organizational psychology which involve into doing HR kind of job. I just never started a job in that field for many years and now I regretted it because nobody gave me a call for a position because I don’t have any work experience

Your videos are very helpful

This was so helpful ❤️

After a while you get comfortable and it’s either for you or not. I went from sourcing to recruiting to a full fledged head hunting warrior!!!

I am hopefully switching careers into full desk recruiter at my current employer, I have the social skills and 12-year knowledge of many areas at my employer in academic health sciences center.

Optimism is not enough, its tough. I have a Bachelors degree in Public Relations,one of my favourite subjects was HR. Since I graduated I was looking for a job as a Recruiter, its not that easy to find a junior recruiter job without expirience. 2 years since I graduated, I have worked on different job positions and I still cant land a recruiting job because everyone is looking for an expirienced recruiter. This is the biggest problem with new graduates, generally speaking.

Excellent!

I wish to be know that to be a recruiter it is very important to know and speak fluently many languages, in special english and german. To be open to many people and not to exhausted by them. And the salaries are not very high.

I can definitely relate.

To do check list… get up source for 12 hours next day pick thru the bones for 6 hours and then vet and submit for 6 hours. Then start over. In between connect with as many hiring managers as you can… or be a preferred recruiter in job bounty lol

Nice content, like the way you speak.

Key is to get close to hiring managers in smaller companies. Forget the bigger companies. They come and go

Any tips to go from sourcing to recruiter ??

How realistic would it be to do this job from Europe, South America, or Asia?

I would add get used to the word NO. No will be something you hear often and that is ok. Just keep up with that person later down the road.

Wow

I have been an agency recruiter for 3 years now and haven't made any commission. I'm thinking of giving up this career because I feel like I don't earn enough to support myself. Do you have any advice on someone like me whos currently in my first job?

Ive been in banking more than 10years..wanna trying somthing new and land to interview session tmrow for recruitment consultant which is a bit alien but wanna give it a shot though. Sound interesting and less stress it seems.

do you offer a coaching service?

I've been asked by a friend if I want to get into recruiting. I am not sure but I am thinking about it.

how much would you see value in a Sat / Sun ONLY, recruiting service? definitely the recruiters would only work 2 days aweek

If I have an HR background not that many years btw but it was with a respectable corporation…and I want to transition to recruiting do I need to start at the bottom again as a coordinator or can I start as a recruiter ? Also is that seen as stupid move/demotion? HR and ER just isn’t for me and I was mentally suffering

Really Amizing

I don't like the idea of someone else's merit/effort/quality of work affecting MY income. I'm being offered a full commission recruiter position. If candidates don't stick around or fail to learn the job, or the company decides they don't like the person... I don't get paid! How do you reconcile that?

Did you deal with employee retention? If so, how did you go about it?

Nerddddddd

What would be the future for a recruiter?

Great videos Preston! Jesus Christ save! John 3:16!!!

Yuck staffing agencies.. How to correctly get a job: Never get a job through an agency, ONLY THROUGH THE ACTUAL COMPANY. If they are hiring only through a staffing agency, its a very strong sign your salary will stay the same/be a lot lower than what other companies offer for the same position. It would be recommended NOT to work at that company anyways. Because they're using a staffing agency in the first place, this implies they want to cut down the costs to hire new employees. This is a common tactic that amazon/warehouse/shipping companies use to meet their employment budget to keep the executives happy from a profit standpoint. For everyone reading if you're a full stack engineer: Do not, I repeat, DO NOT ever get a job through a staffing agency. One, they're not employees of the actual company you will be working at, and they stiff you on your salary. The company itself will always offer you a higher salary than the staffing agency (usually by 10-25 k) and they're pretty much worthless. They barely take the time to read your actual resume and then contact you for a job that most of the time barely related with a position that matches your experience. I was getting contacted so often by multiple staffing agencies since most of the time they see the dollar signs once they read my resume even after I had a detailed note in my resume for staffing agencies to not contact me!! They only care about one thing: being the person that found the employee for the company. They are such a joke, and worthless. If you want to get your salary stiffed, by all means go with a staffing agency. Read reddit if you think im the only one that shares this strong opinion and outlook. The way they make money is so shady.. vice did a great documentary on staffing/temp agencies. If you are truly desperate and cannot find a job on your own, then that is the only okay time to use one (and its so hard for me to even say that about them). What i find absolutely funny is where my resume has section labeled with the word IMPORTANT** to tell them not to bother contacting me if they're a staffing agency and they still go ahead and do anyways. Its not just one of them, its literally almost every single one. That's how I know they barely read my resume, as well as they probably use third party software that crawls different job sites for potential candidates they can find through whatever filters they decide they need for specific job career fields.

I would like to work as Recruiter, can you give me your LinkedIn contact? Tnx in advance
