What makes you a Top Social Recruiter?

PATIENCE I understand what hiring managers want in each role, and balance the right targeting with volumes of search to identify prospects.

What are your tips for fellow recruiters?

1.  Understand the intricacies of the role to determine the best candidates for the job

2.  Leverage LinkedIn InMail to target candidates – it is a

very helpful tool to connect with your prospects and get their contact details

3.  Understanding the business needs of hiring managers will help build credibility of internal sourcing functions

DETERMINATION Recruiters are the team that ensure the right talent joins the organisation, and these people determine the success of the organisation. This single fact keeps me motivated.

1.  Embrace challenges as opportunities to bring out the best in one

2.  Have finger on the pulse of the market to effectively address recruitment needs

3.  Be a consultant to the business. Work with hiring managers to distill between “must-have” and “nice to have” skillsets to set the right expectations

READINESS Going the extra mile and putting my heart into anything I take up have been key in preparing me to partner with my stakeholders.

1.  Build a solid understanding of the business and the talent landscape, and how it can dovetail with what the organisation needs

2.  Ensure “pipeline readiness” by consistently engaging passive talent

3.  Challenge and be challenged, to push yourself and the people around you to think beyond traditional ways to find solutions

PERFECTION What has helped me immensely in my career is always wanting to explore all possible sources until the best suited candidate for the role is hired.

1.  Appreciate the role you play. Recruiters are influential in contributing to the success of both organisations and the individuals they engage

2.  Be honest and transparent. Never compromise on ethics, or encourage a prospect to come on-board if the role is not going to justice to their career growth

3.  Engage like-minded HR professionals within the LinkedIn community to cross-pollinate on best practices and experiences
