The Nurturing and Caring of Recruiters

by (0) Comments

Are you caring for your recruiter?

What have you done recently to build, enhance, increase, develop, nurture, care, love the relationship you have with a recruiter?

If the answer is NOTHING - you're in trouble.

NO relationship = NO job leads and referrals.

I posted a blog article on our popular Job Search and Career Blog titled "Have You Fed Your Recruiter Today?"

If would like to have the opportunity to find a great job through a recruiter - either right now or in the future - shouldn't you be thinking about how you can feed your recruiter?
