Time Manangement for Recruiters- How to Get Things Done in Your Recruiting Firm!

See the image to the left?  $50 bills blowing in the wind! That is what I see every day in many offices of recruiting firms.  Money blowing out the window in lost time.  You see to me it's visible.  That wasn't always the case.  I made the same mistakes as other recruiting firm owners and didn't really KNOW the value of my time.  Not knowing this lowered its value significantly.

Today I interviewed two industry trainers Gary Stauble and Doug Beabout on how to get greater productivity in our recruiting firms.  Here are some quick tips from Gary and Doug:

1.  Create Strategic Urgency.  Do tasks like recruit calls, marketing calls, Planning and strategic development time in 30 to 50 minute blocks using a digital timer that counts down.  When the clock goes off, move on to the next task.
2. Have 10 minute meetings with your recruiters once per week where they have answers to predetermined questions in advance of the meeting.  Questions like:

• What have I accomplished the past 7 days?
• What are my challenges now?
• What are my opportunities?
• What am I committed to the next 7 days?

Then coach them around the answers to help them implement their new ideas.

3.  Hire a researcher, even in tough times, to take the $5 to $10 per hour activities that are keeping you from what you do best which is the interaction with your recruited candidates and clients.

• This can be a part or full time person
• They will leverage your time and do things you are probably putting off!

These were just a few of the ideas I took from these two speakers.  You can get free access to this interview HERE.  Both Gary and Doug are being featured as part of the world's first Recruiting Firm Owner Virtual Telesummit March 8th thru 12th designed specifically around the needs of recruiting firm owners.

Calling all Recruiting Firm Owners! Virtual Summit in March

 
One of the largest voids I have found in the recruiting industry is the lack training or recruiting seminars dedicated specifically to us, the owners and managers of recruiting firms.

Well, I am doing my part to change that.  I have gathered some of the most influential thought leaders like Bob Marshall, Bill Radin, Gary Stauble, Bill Boorman, Margaret Graziano, Mark Berger plus several others in a one week virtual telesummit with one purpose:  to give you the tools, strategies, and tactics to emerge quickly and profitably from this recession.

What is a Virtual Telesummit?  The speakers come together every afternoon the week of March 8th for 4 hours each day and present to you in "your office".  No travel or time away, so you have no excuse not to invest the time in your business.  Can't be on some of the calls live?  No problem, you can listen whenever you want.  Recordings will be posted within 24 hours of the presentation. 

I have asked all the speakers to pull back the curtain and share some of their secrets that have made them successful.  If you are looking for innovative ideas in finding, hiring, motivating recruiters you will want to listen in as to what these people have to say.
