I had to convince my client a lot to shortlist my candidate for an interview.
The recruiter at my client organization told me that the current employer of my candidate is not a big company.
I said we aren’t looking at recruiting the company.
Finally, he agreed to give my guy a chance.
I am sure you’d have guessed by now.
Yes, my candidate was selected after the interview.
What’s more?
He accepted the offer too. Woohooo!!
I can’t believe it.
And, he joined my client as well. This is phenomenal.
Now, the unexpected happened.
The recruiter called me & asked me to hire everyone from that “not so big company”. 🙂
I was & am a Sales Guy. This is what a Sales guy can do to recruitment. 🙂
Had I not convinced the recruiter in the beginning, I wouldn’t have got the opportunity to headhunt more people.
Takeaways:
- Don’t agree with your prospect always.
- Have conviction on your product & stand like a rock.
- Re-write rules.
- Just because something is done in a particular way it doesn’t mean it has to be done that way for the next 100 years.
- If something sounds stupid then go & challenge it.
