There is one characteristic in the recruitment industry that sorts the men from the boys (I use the term as a linguistic instrument with no intended gender bias) – integrity! Why? Because so few people in the industry seem to have this quality.
When the desperate employer turns to recruiting companies to help with staff resourcing you might as well let the wolves into your sheep pen. Revolving door placements, outrageous promises and fake client calls to your employees while they root around your sock drawer to cherry pick your best performers. The fact is, recruiting companies are often viewed as having lower standing than bankers. You are their victim not their client.
Compare this with Jake at Albion. We have worked with Jake since 2014. There are many skills that good recruiters have but few have the emotional intelligence to empathise with both sides of the employment equation. With Jake employment is both art and science. I have met few people who I can honestly say cares about the people he works with. You don’t need to take my word for it though – just look at Albion’s charity scheme to see how they contribute to making the world a little bit better. One day all recruiters will be like Jake.
