Don’t forget that we want to squeeze as much from our calls as we can! This lead could result in a candidate for a current search OR a potential new client lead.

Objections (or challenges) to recruiting an individual are going to be very common.

Resistance is a process and it requires recruiters to do something they aren’t usually very good at being...PATIENT!

Influencing the actions of others is the very essence of the staffing and search industry. A client or candidates’ perception of us and our behaviors directly determines how they think and feel about us and treat us throughout the search or staffing process. Are YOU being treated as a trusted advisor, a knowledgeable subject matter expert or just another vendor, order taker, placement pusher or body shop? Your clients and candidates can choose to see you in one of three different ways based on your behaviors with them.
In this session, Rob Mosley guides you through the process of better understanding how your clients and candidates can evolve from seeing you in a competitive posture, to a cooperative interaction, and on occasion, a truly collaborative relationship.

What on Earth are they thinking? That is sometimes the million dollar question when it comes to trying to determine exactly HOW our prospects and client think when they are making important decisions such as how to hire the best possible candidate, which firm, if any, to work with, or how important this hire is to the organization?
In this NLE Quick Tip, Rob Mosley helps us answer this question; “Where is my client/prospect today in their decision process and what does value look like to them at this stage?” If you can articulately answer that key question, you have the makings of a long lasting collaborative client partnership.

Historically, recruiters create a “sea of sameness” with calls and emails that tend to focus too much on the service being provided by the recruiter’s organization. These messages are disconnected from the real priorities and can be perceived by the prospect as self-serving, self-interested, and lacking real insight into their business. In that initial connection, they are also making decisions based on the value in your message - and whether it is even worthy of a response.
Rob Mosley explains the purpose of the I-Model approach for earning the meeting is to initiate communication in a more diagnostic conversation (or face-to-face meeting) with the decision maker. Through using this approach you will turn cold calls in to warmer consultative conversations that accelerates the relationship. Additionally, you will stand out from the masses and the sea of sameness in voicemails and emails by better communicating a clear purpose for the conversation.

While it is always our goal to work directly with decision makers and influencers, the reality is that we must often navigate past gatekeepers first in order to have valuable conversations with our intended prospects. Every relationship in an organization, whether it be at the executive, managerial, or individual contributor, provides us with the opportunity to gain insight into that individual and the organization at that particular level of the company. Your challenge is to view the gatekeeper as a bridge to build more trust and legitimacy in the prospects organization.
In this NLE Quick Tip, Rob Mosley will help you better navigate the initial gatekeeper conversations and when appropriate, develop an additional relationship with the gatekeeper that can be leveraged as a source of access and insight throughout the organization.

Effective consultants and sales people spend a fair amount of time refining their communication style. After all, good communication skills are not only among the most in-demand soft skills; they’re also essential for fostering strong relationships with team members, being a more effective negotiator, and being able to motivate clients and candidates.
In this NLE Quick Tip, Rob Mosley explains that simple but powerful phrases can influence others and stimulate your customer’s feelings and an emotional decision to buy from you. Do your words trigger a perception of a trusted advisor, a subject matter expert, or more of an order taker or vendor?
Streaming video - 7 minutes
Influencing the actions of others is the very essence of the staffing and search industry. A client or candidates’ perception of us and our behaviors directly determines how they think and feel about us and treat us throughout the search or staffing process. Are YOU being treated as a trusted advisor, a knowledgeable subject matter expert or just another vendor, order taker, placement pusher or body shop? Your clients and candidates can choose to see you in one of three different ways based on your behaviors with them.
In this session, Rob Mosley guides you through the process of better understanding how your clients and candidates can evolve from seeing you in a competitive posture, to a cooperative interaction, and on occasion, a truly collaborative relationship.

Your prospects and clients are very busy people. Their jobs require them to make many decisions daily, and frequently with a sense of urgency. From the moment you connect by email, voicemail, or in a live conversation, the clock is running and your prospect is judging…judging whether you act in a professional and competent manner; judging whether or not you open the conversation with confidence and knowledge of this person’s role and of the work being done; and judging as to whether they want to invest time with you in a conversation or move on the tasks and people they deem as more worthy of their time. Here is the bottom line: you have many opportunities to make guiding suggestions for direction early and often in the relationship but that is an extremely challenging task if you don’t know where the client or prospect is in their decision process and if you don’t know where your client is in their decision process, there is no way that you can know where you are in your sales process.
In this NLE Quick Tip, Rob Mosley discusses how you are perceived, whether it be a trusted advisor, vendor or order taker, and that perception is directly tied to your ability to engage at each stage of the client decision process and better align your solution early and often.
Streaming video - 12 minutes
What on Earth are they thinking? That is sometimes the million dollar question when it comes to trying to determine exactly HOW our prospects and client think when they are making important decisions such as how to hire the best possible candidate, which firm, if any, to work with, or how important this hire is to the organization?
In this NLE Quick Tip, Rob Mosley helps us answer this question; “Where is my client/prospect today in their decision process and what does value look like to them at this stage?” If you can articulately answer that key question, you have the makings of a long lasting collaborative client partnership.

Historically, recruiters create a “sea of sameness” with calls and emails that tend to focus too much on the service being provided by the recruiter’s organization. These messages are disconnected from the real priorities and can be perceived by the prospect as self-serving, self-interested, and lacking real insight into their business. In that initial connection, they are also making decisions based on the value in your message - and whether it is even worthy of a response.
Rob Mosley explains the purpose of the I-Model approach for earning the meeting is to initiate communication in a more diagnostic conversation (or face-to-face meeting) with the decision maker. Through using this approach you will turn cold calls in to warmer consultative conversations that accelerates the relationship. Additionally, you will stand out from the masses and the sea of sameness in voicemails and emails by better communicating a clear purpose for the conversation.
Streaming video - 14 minutes
While it is always our goal to work directly with decision makers and influencers, the reality is that we must often navigate past gatekeepers first in order to have valuable conversations with our intended prospects. Every relationship in an organization, whether it be at the executive, managerial, or individual contributor, provides us with the opportunity to gain insight into that individual and the organization at that particular level of the company. Your challenge is to view the gatekeeper as a bridge to build more trust and legitimacy in the prospects organization.
In this NLE Quick Tip, Rob Mosley will help you better navigate the initial gatekeeper conversations and when appropriate, develop an additional relationship with the gatekeeper that can be leveraged as a source of access and insight throughout the organization.

Establishing credibility and expertise with clients is crucial for recruiters in order to be seen as a valuable solution to their hiring needs. One way to separate yourself from other recruiters is to make small comments in interactions with clients that demonstrate your in-depth understanding of recruiting-related topics.

Christine Geiger asks why is it that some recruiters you know seem to have really good clients? Why do they have “all the luck?” They keep marketing. They upgrade clients. They don’t devote all their time and talents to organizations that are going to treat them like vendors, where there is lower probability of success. Big name or not, clients who truly work with us in tandem and view us as partners not competitors, are the organizations we want to align ourselves with. Companies that provide the requisite feedback to help us hone our search better, firms that are prompt and proactive with interview scheduling, decisions and offers. These companies are worth their weight in gold and continual, perpetual marketing will help build your business with these better clients.

There are times when a financially committed/retained search is the best option, and there are times when contingency recruiting is the appropriate approach. Certainly, the urgency and critical nature of the position are factors. Accountability, access, and search status are all variables as well. There are times, though, when neither of these solutions is the best answer. Unfortunately, most recruiters tend to work one way or maybe two and then sell why their way is the best. A true consultant gathers all relevant information and then makes an informed professional recommendation.
In order to truly be a consultant, one has to be prepared to craft the appropriate agreement based on the client’s unique needs and expectations.
In this quick tip, Jeff Kaye illustrates that it is never too late to be what you might have been and it is never too late to learn and grow. The first step in growth is being receptive to considering the addition of some new tools, and alternative fee agreements into your professional arsenal.

As search professionals, at times, we take for granted the reasons we are hired by clients. Sometimes we begin to believe that we are used simply to identify candidates/resumes and present them to our clients and then hold our breath and hope they are hired. Think for a minute about what you do for your clients. Now ask yourself, can your clients articulate that if they were asked to do so? Finding the right person, at the right time, in the right place, at the right price is our core competency. We help build companies through the people we place. People are truly a company's most precious resource. In this presentation, Jeff Kaye shares with you a list of key points of value that can be used as a comparison of not only the value you bring but also one to share with prospective and existing clients.

She’ll start with a broad list of marketing materials that elevate top recruiters from other recruiters whose efforts consist of little more than phone calls. Great recruiters take the initiative to put together a game plan, and the supporting industry-specific marketing materials to deliberately dominate their market. You can too. Enjoy the session.

Karen takes an in-depth look at one of the most common types of client development approaches, yet also at times one of the most controversial, which is the Most Placeable Candidate approach – or the MPC.

Take some time to use the examples provided here and create something that will work for you – regardless of if you’re a new recruiter, a veteran, or just simply someone interested in possibly adding a six figure placement to your production this year!

Like most of those he trains, Jeff Skrentny, CERS, never intended to create a lifelong career in the search, staffing and recruiting profession. After being fired from his university teaching position in early 1987, it was just where his business career began. It didn’t start well; he was voted least likely to succeed, his first deal was a fall off. Three years later though, he was his firm’s top producer. During his 22 years in search, Jeff has worked hard to perfect search best practices and then share those best practices with thousands of search and recruiting professionals from 33 nations in hundreds of training sessions. Jeff doesn't tell you what you should do; he shares with you what he actually does to close his deals.
Why, for most recruiters, does reference checking seem to be an afterthought of the search process? Most still put off a reference check until the very end of their deal making process. They see it as a tedious and time consuming last step; when actually, reference checking should be the first thing they do. Not only does Jeff have references checked for nearly every candidate submittal he makes; BUT it has now become his most successful prospecting technique, one that has lead to over 53% of his billing dollars since January of 2002; it all but eliminates the voicemail/caller ID problem recruiters must endure; it has lead to the referrals of more than 39% of the candidates he has placed since 2002; and he estimates that it has reduced the amount of time his team spends checking references by about 70%.

Instilling trust and effective communication in building relationships is key with clients, candidates, customers and anyone else. Trust (or lack of trust) can be visualized on a continuum. There are positive things we do that build and increase trust. There are also negative things we do that erode or diminish trust. You can think of the continuum like a bank account. In relationships we continually either make deposits which increase trust in our account or we take withdrawals that diminish the overall trust in the account.
When seeking to increase trust in a relationship, It's always important to remember the platinum rule. Most of us are familiar with the Golden Rule: "Treat others as you want to be treated". The platinum rule says “Treat others as they want to be treated”. It may not necessarily be the way you want to be treated. In this quick tip, Mark Murphy reminds us to remember that trust is built with a commitment to consistently increasing the positive actions in your relationships.

We can and should help clients with a quality client preparation outline with guidelines for the recruiting process and a roadmap for an effective experience. It leads to the ultimate win, win, win for the client, the candidate, and of course the recruiter.
In this quick tip, Lil Roy shows how delivering a client preparation outline solidifies our position as subject matter experts while differentiating and elevating our customized approach to satisfying our clients.

We recruiters get excited when we have a client with an urgent and critical need - an opening the hiring manager states they need filled “ASAP, now, yesterday!” Our thrill is in delivering the right candidates to clients who value our service – who view search firms as an important and necessary part of their business operations. Our goal is to set realistic expectations with clients that are willing to mirror our enthusiasm, energy, and efforts on behalf of that client. When we can walk it back, with a calendar, with our client and qualify the urgency of the client’s need, we are positioning ourselves for the best possible outcome where we are working in tandem with the client to establish and meet their urgent timeline.
In this NLE Quick Tip, Christine Geiger shares how to go about carefully explaining, exploring, and outlining an agreed upon process in advance by outlining mutual expectations what the client can expect from you and what you need from the client to set a more realistic timeline to delivery.

In this quick tip, Christine Geiger discusses the dreaded counter offer. If you are a search professional with some experience under your belt, you may know all too well what a counteroffer is in the context of our industry. For anyone brand new to our profession, the kind of counteroffer we are referring to is: when a candidate goes in to resign from his or her current employer, and the employer attempts to retain that employee using any number of tactics and counters. Thus, the counteroffer. The ultimate goal is to educate and circumvent the candidate’s acceptance of a counteroffer. If you have a would-be hire on the tight-wire, combat the counteroffer with every resource you have!

We have the freedom to choose our actions, our profession, our financial needs, and the path of our life. Each day is not about what we have to do. It’s about what we get to do.
