3 TIPS ON HOW TO RECOGNIZE A GOOD RECRUITER

2006-11-11T23:09:26Z

With a plethora of staffing companies to choose from in the employment world, how do you recognize a good recruiter and what constitutes “good” anyway? Good, is competent and skillful or, as in a good person, virtuous and commendable. Ideally, a recruiter should possess all of those attributes. When entrusting someone with the task of helping you find your next permanent or temporary position in a job market where potential employees are viewed as ”human capital”, you will certainly be best served by someone who appreciates your personal characteristics, strengths and goals. (1). A good recruiter will not only listen to your preferences but honor them, having concern for your interests along with those of the client company. (2). A good recruiter will sincerely make their best effort to place you in a position that is truly an appropriate fit for both you and the hiring entity and they will treat you with respect and consideration. (3). A good recruiter will invest the time to establish a relationship with you, communicating with you on a regular basis. Once you have discovered such a person, return the courtesy and be a good candidate, reciprocating the professional deference you are receiving, for it will serve you well throughout your career.

Three Years & Counting: Headhunters...please dont call!

2006-09-22T22:21:32Z

Career Profile: Lance Buckley There have been a lot of great things happening at Pierce Mattie PR over the past several months. Our fashion and accessories division seems to be multiplying in size daily, and the home division is going strong. I started to think back where the firm started and where we are now. "Wow!"Then I realized that my three year anniversary is right around the corner. I thought it only fair that I reflect back on the past few years. I left another well known New York PR firm because I wasn't growing, and the lack of opportunitys. Since I joined the team at Pierce Mattie PR, I’ve gone from an account executive to a director, all while launching some major accounts. I remember my first day as though it were yesterday. It was a cool winter morning when I met up with Constance, another director at the firm. Immediately, I felt welcomed by her and our client, which I was helping to take around on a media tour that day. It was that warmness, something I didn’t expect, that has kept me here so long; that and the fact that it really feels like a home. I guess that’s because most of us have been here growing together over the past several years, unlike other firms who have a constant turnover in staff.]]>
