Most organisations are guided by the word ‘yes’. Clients ask for something and we say yes. Respectfully, we may say ‘no’ if it’s not our speciality or it requires working in a way that doesn’t solve your challenge longer-term or fit with our values.
– Prioritise speed over quality.
– Sell jobs without understanding candidate motivation.
– Walk away when the going gets tough (we work until a search is filled)
– Send candidates to multiple places simultaneously.
– Post an advert and hope the best talent comes to us (hit & hope)
– Take the easy, active market, route.
– Tell you what you want to hear rather than what you need to hear.
– Pretend to be experts in everything. We choose our battles.
