In my previous blog post, I presented four steps for staying focused on recruiting success. As I mentioned, companies are starving for top talent, and it’s the recruiter who can produce that talent the quickest who will win the (placement) race.
Planning is paramount when it comes to your success. It is absolutely essential that if you want to enjoy a breakout year in 2015, NOW is the time to start planning and to carry out your plan.
With that in mind, below are four MORE steps for staying focused on your recruiting success.
Step #1:
Imagine a suitcase outside the door or your office and dump all of your personal issues or challenges into the suitcase before you enter your office. If you drag your personal baggage to work, it can prevent you from focusing on work and limit your success. Inform your family and friends to only contact you at lunch or after working hours.
Step #2:
Don’t view inappropriate websites during working hours or send inappropriate emails. If you want to participate in social networks or social media sites, that activity is completed during evening hours on your own personal computer—unless you’re a researcher or sourcer.
Step #3:
Conduct sourcing and research during evening hours. Also, conduct social media networking efforts on non-prime time hours.
Step #4:
Ask yourself constantly, “Is this the best use of my time?” If your answer is “No,” then you need to delegate those tasks to someone else. You achieve 80% of your results from 20% of your actions.
Once you identify your top talents, which represent the 20%, the key is to spend more of your time completing those exact actions.
It’s time to take control of your level of success.
It’s time to focus where you can get results!
It’s time to let the outgoing calls, not the incoming calls, control your destiny.
If you focus, you will produce greater results!
