Straight talk about the hospitality recruiting business from our president, Patrice Rice
As a recruiter, you impact not only your candidate’s life but the lives of his/her entire family. If he’s working 90 hours a week and never sees his children OR if he’s terribly underpaid OR if he’s in a dead-end position or whatever – you can help make his life and the lives of his family better.
This turn-key franchise opportunity includes:
- An opportunity to work from home
- Access to national database of resumes
- Access to current regional and national clients and job listings
- Complete fast-track training
- Billing services – No accounting nightmares
- Total flexibility – Work from any location
- Low barriers to entry
- Recruiting support network throughout the U.S.
- Extensive Internet presence with recognized brand name
What we do as recruiters is often taken for granted – we basically work for free until we find a candidate a job. There’s no better deal anywhere for managers looking for a job. We write their resume, coach them on interview skills, educate them on career opportunities, tell them how to dress, teach them how to answer tough questions, emotionally support them through rejections and then get them excited about the next interview. The bottom line is we help each candidate be the absolute best he can be.
This job can be difficult because it’s hard to tell someone they’re not getting an offer. But the absolute best time is when you tell them they’ve got a new job. I’ve had candidates send me flowers, take me to lunch, cry on the phone – they’re so happy and grateful.
Recruiting is unlike any other job. You’ll talk to hundreds of different people, be challenged at all different levels from relating to an hourly employee to a Regional Vice President, be frustrated when you work so hard and your candidate simply doesn’t show up for an interview, and feel the most job satisfaction ever in your life when you land your first hire.
Please remember you have an entire organization and many veteran recruiters to call upon when you’re frustrated or happy or just want someone to share an experience. This is a new adventure for you and everyone will do their best to ensure your success.
