Recruiting Newbie Tips – Do this…

Starting your first job as a recruiter can be scary but here are 5 recruiting newbie tips that I have learned along the way. These tips will certainly help you to become a great recruiter, so follow along, you never know what might stick for you and your career.

Tip #1 – Be a willing learner.

Being able to be coached is a key recruiter requirement. Poor listeners and know-it-all are not likely to do well in a recruiting environment.

Tip #2 – Be brave.

Making a cold call, interviewing a candidate, negotiating salaries are all in a day’s work, so being brave enough to have those conversations will make things go a lot smoother.

Tip #3 – Treat candidates well.

Remember these candidates may not be a good fit for this position you are currently working on but they could be the right fit for a position you are in charge of in the near future, so be kind.

Tip #4 – Ask.

Listen, learn, and try new things. But don’t suffer in silence. If you don’t understand, ask. Be polite; make sure the person you are asking is not in the middle of a call. Ask if they have time. But ask your question.

Tip #5 – Take notes.

In training, when being coached, when your mentor gives a tip. Write it down. Review later. And implement.

Starting a new position regardless of what career path you choose can be scary but if you are about to be a recruiter for the first time follow these recruiting newbie tips above and you will be fine.
