After the Chinese New Year, companies will face a new round of job-hopping. I wrote down my day in my headhunting career. I hope you will learn more about the mysterious headhunting.

 

In the first half of, my headhunting career was difficult. Although I had nearly eight years of sales experience, the headhunting project was under great pressure, it also makes me feel that my work is very laborious. At that time, it would take 10 to 12 hours to work every day. The typical day should be like this.

 

8: 15Arrive at the company to receive emails.

 

Some foreign candidates receive emails in the early morning of Beijing due to time difference issues. They generally receive replies very early. At the same time, the company has advertisements on the three major recruitment websites, and some candidates may submit resumes. A total of 60 new emails were received in my mailbox, one of which was returned by Frank in the United States. I found his email address on a technical forum two days ago. From his technical article, this person is a project manager for a foreign company. So I immediately sent an email to him and wanted to communicate with him to see if cooperation was possible. Frank wrote his convenient call time (Beijing time) in his email and asked me to call him. I wrote the time and phone number in the Excel format notepad.

 

8: 30Obtain the target company list (a list of companies that may have candidates) and call cold.

 

It is good to call cold while the front desk of these companies is not at work or they are off work!

I started to lie when I tried to call the sales department of Company A as prompted. (Mandatory for headhunting ).

 

Leo: "Hello! I am a customer of yours. Who is the project manager of China Unicom ?"

Sales: "Contact Manager Wu ."

Leo: "What is the full name of Wu? Sorry, I didn't know the situation very well when I first arrived ."

Sales: "Wu Gang, ext. 229 ."

Leo: "Thank you !"

 

After I put down the call, I started to call Wu Gang. This is a project manager position. Company A is a competitor of our customers and should be suitable for this position.

 

10: 00After making N harassing calls, I decided to take a break.

 

Continuous lying causes discomfort! In severe cases, I want to vomit. Don't do nothing, but tell the truth. Call HR bob of BBB to confirm the situation of the three candidates for the interview yesterday afternoon. Let's talk to Bob about where the three are suitable, where they are not suitable, and keep a record at the same time ,. According to the customer's requirements, reasonably adjust the search direction to find more suitable candidates and lay a good foundation for the recommendation of the next batch of candidates ,.

 

10: 30About the sales director candidate for an interview with the company last night.

 

Before recommending a candidate to a customer, I insist on seeing the candidate first. Never recommend it to customers because of time or insufficient resources. In the long run, it is very important to do this. In the long run, we can see that the candidates have a more intuitive and accurate judgment, which saves the project time.

 

Today, this candidate is not suitable for my current position as sales director.

 

Save his resume to the database for future use. Start with the "Recommendation Report", which is more suitable for candidates for this position. I have completed the evaluation and it is a mechanical paste job.

 

12: 00Issue two "recommendation reports" to CCC and wait for customer feedback.

 

If the customer feels that the candidates are suitable, they will inform me of the customer's convenient time. I will arrange the candidates to go to the customer's company for an interview. If the customer feels that the candidates are not suitable, they will tell me where the problem has occurred. Is my search direction incorrect or something else.

 

12: 15Go out for dinner.

 

Return to the company to continue working.

 

Susan from CCC called and asked me to introduce the two candidates and tell me the time for the ccc ceo to easily interview the two sales director candidates.

Communicate with the two CCC candidates at and arrange the time. (One of them can participate in the review, and the other is on a business trip in Australia. It can be arranged only after coming back next month .)

 

14: 00Start the interview with the candidate with an appointment yesterday

 

This includes the technical director, sales manager, PR manager, and planning director.

 

Start the interview to apply for two candidates for the position of headhunting consultant or headhunting consultant assistant for our headhunting company.

 

Building your own team is also very important!

 

19: 00Call to schedule your interview tomorrow.

 

There are several projects with relatively high time pressure. We need to step up looking for candidates recently! Today, I am a little tired, so I will not contact any BD business. I should do a good job in these projects first.

 

20: 00Leave the company to embark on the way home.

 

PS:

The above is a typical day in the headhunting industry. The first half of the year in the headhunting industry is the most painful. More than half of the people leave this industry within six months. People may know that when they first started as a headhunting service, they often felt like a self-built Scorpion. They were blindfolded and beaten by the boss or project manager. However, it is difficult to have the opportunity to enter the room without such a zombie. If I just blow a bull all day like XX Headhunters on TV, I have never done a front-line job. What qualifications will I have to guide others in the future?

 

Follow-up

Last week, a headhunting company called me and hoped that I would not only watch my son at home, but also consider working in their company. No one in this company knows me, and there is no face issue. So I replied very solemnly to his invitation with the following words.

"First of all, thank you very much for contacting me. Thank you! Thank you! Second, if I really want to repeat the rivers and lakes one day, I will find a few headhunting consultants and consultant assistants to beat them with a whip, rather than giving others a chance to beat me. Now, I am not interested in being drawn or being drawn from others. Sorry, we can only see the next cooperation opportunity ."

 

It has been some time before I leave the headhunting industry. Every time I look back on the days when I first entered the headhunting industry two years ago, all kinds of experiences seem to be in front of me. I just want to say:

 

Ü I pay more than I get. If I had the opportunity to come back, I would still choose the headhunting industry.

Ü all kinds of hardships are the wealth of the future, and there will never be any bitterness.
