Five minutes ago, I achieved my official certification as a Talent Consultant for SOS Technical. I have been here for eight months this week, and I am now about 80% “trained” on our processes and implementation. A few things I have learned:
- SOS has been #1 Professional Recruitment Agency in the Utah Business Book of Lists for several years in a row–now I know why. Our absolute commitment to exactness, quality and service on all sides of a placement are second-to-none!
- There is no substitute for attention to detail.
- Nationwide, it takes a recruiting firm nine interviews to find the correct candidate. Our top-achievers have a one-of-two success-rate. Our standard is one-of-three, still more successful than our competition by a factor of three!
- No wonder I’ve had to be more creative in locating quality candidates: “The people you’re looking for aren’t looking for you…” Unemployment in some of our areas is lower than it has been in 5 years. People that don’t want to work are working because the opportunities are so good right now.
- Recruiting and Placement are transactions, but my company is not a transactional company. We are a relationship company, and we won’t do business with companies unwilling to at least meet with us and create a professional relationship.
Above all of these things, I am more passionate and devoted to what I am doing today than I have been since I began.
Let’s get to work!
