I’m a pretty confident/arrogant guy about my abilities. I’ve never been anywhere that I didn’t shatter any records that they had.
To challenge my recruiting abilities I will line up about four or five executive search firms for a position give everyone as much information as possible and then have a race to see who could fill the position fastest. I have never been beaten; in fact I was usually disgusted with the complete lack of quality candidates that the major names brought in.
Well I was in a race to fill a Sr. .NET Developer position, and again my candidate came in first. It was the second interview with my guy and we were actually going to skip the interview and just make an offer because he did really well. So he’s waiting in the lobby, I tell him that the IT Manager is running behind because there was an IT issue. He waits 15 minutes and then says that he gives professors 15 minutes and that we could call him, and he walks out.
The manner that this guy presented himself was really arrogant. I thought that I was arrogant, but wow I know who the employer is and who isn’t. Wow.
Anyways then a candidate from a Staffing Firm was 2nd place so we call him in, and we’re working out the offer now.
So I wanted to make two points.
(1) Regardless how much of a hot shot you are, never walk out of an interview unless you’re waiting an hour or something absurd. If you’re supposed to be an executive you understand that business doesn’t always work on schedules and people need to flexible sometimes.
(2) Congratulations to Brian Resendes with Proventure Staffing for being the only Recruiter to beat me. That shows some serious skills and talent.
If you have a position that is just not getting filled and you desperately need someone in there for a good price then call up Brian at 702-577-2711 or www.proventurestaffing.com.
