This takes planning and preparation and is a big part of a professional recruiter’s day. In this session we prepare you for effective cold calling and business development. Producing mail shots and proven tested marketing campaigns.

DEBRIEFING CANDIDATES.

This is something that’s important to do when you first deal with a client. When a candidate has been referred and has attended an interview with a new client, you debrief them and find out in every detail about the interview they have just attended.

You feel good and elated at your success. Our standard closing procedure, if followed to the letter, will ensure that all of your hard work doesn’t fizzle out because your candidate has changed his/her mind and has decided not to accept the offer. This is a vital part of the placement chain and we cover this aspect in great detail.
