I’m assured there is water there - they're just not paying to get it. We don’t recycle water - bath water gets cleaned then put back into a river. Why can't they clean it a little more so we can re use it as drinking water?
because the murder of a police officer is less common than a murder of 'joe public'.
there are news values that journalists judge stories on - one of these is frequency of the event
if you want the gig go - if you don't want it don't go! simple
Think of it as an opportunity to sell your services - if you sell well you get the gig and make money. When I go to meet clients I don’t ask them to pay my travel expenses
Theres a couple of guys I know - who may be interested in yourself
Dan Wallis at Pathway and James Proctor at Huntress
Both good recruiters in your area!
Pathway is an S3 company though
I moved to work for a competitor and S3 are still threatening to take me to court - I keep getting stuff to sign from them. As I understand it if they're still paying you ie when you're on gardening leave you can't work for a competitor. However once they're not paying you they can't stop you...
I agree with most of that -
My day is a mix of cold calls and candidate calls. Cold calling is something that I think shouldn't die and you're right in saying that a good recruiter should do this - an excellent recruiter will do this and not sit back on their existing clients.
Re the PSL...
There are unfortunate clients out there, I'm sure, who don't know I exist - however I can do for them what other agencies may not be able to. (provide quality candidates in a niche area)
Many clients use PSL agencies - PSL agencies may work for HR but are often not great for the Hiring manager...
Are you an IT agent????
Its the first time you have worked with a candidate - there is no trust there, and all we have done is speak for 20 minutes on the phone about a job - I know nothing else about him - I have relationships with contractors who will milk recruiters for info and then call me...
