- Build the Relationship From Day 1
- Start Off Strong
Were you given some ramp up time to get going? Ask what the expected goals will be for your work and strive to achieve those from the beginning. Ramp up is real and very much needed, but if you set your eyes on the goal, you are sure to come that much closer to achieving them and more than likely, impress your direct supervisor in your new role.
- Consistency is the Name of the Game
While you might start off strong, be sure to maintain that stamina and drive every week. Try reading some personal development material or a professional blog at the beginning of every week. This will re-motivate you when work becomes monotonous or tedious and will push you to go further. This will continue to keep your recruiter well-supported and your supervisor pleased.
- Learn the Business
Ask poignant questions about where the organization is going and how your work directly affects the goals of the business. This will give you an overall understanding of how what you are doing is important and contributes to the common good. This is also very helpful if you are moved into other areas or groups and makes you an asset to every individual you work with. Knowledge is power.
By utilizing these tips, you can help to make the transition seamless and build upon a strong working relationship while providing valuable recruiting support. Seize every opportunity, every role, every day and you’ll reap the rewards.
