Over the past 30+ years, I have learned that no two job placements are alike. There are recruiters out there who try to use the one-size-fits-all mentality when attempting to fill a staffing need for one of their clients. The truth is, the recruiter needs to take notes when receiving a job description over the phone or in person, not take a written order at face value without reviewing thoroughly and asking questions if needed. Being able to gather info about the corporate culture, the type of products and/or services involved, the role the new hire will play, longevity of employees, and potential for advancement, etc. are all key to matching the proper candidates to the job. Anyone who tells you all they need is a printed job requirement is incorrect. Many times, I take down everything needed in a phone chat as listening is often more effective than reviewing a prefabricated job posting. One of my favorite adventures in staffing is exploring the needs of my client thoroughly before setting out to assist them! Elise Prezant
