Did this talented Spanish street artist create this wonderful painting in just over 1 minute? No, he did not. Well he did... but he didn't.... let me explain what I mean... This guy has probably spent years and years perfecting his skills and ability to now be able to create these particular pieces of art so quickly. In addition to the natural talent this guy probably already had, it's probably taken him thousands of attempts, using different colour mixes, different techniques, different applications of pressure, different movements, over the years to get it to the point where he can produce such an impressive result in such a speedy way. And wow, what an impressive result it is! Something similar can be said for recruitment. And no... I'm not saying recruiters are artists before anyone mocks me! haha. What I mean is, when a recruiter is asked by a client to find a candidate with a particular skillset and experience, a seasoned and experienced recruiter can submit an excellently matched profile to the clients needs often within 24 hours. Is that because it's an easy job and anyone can do it? No... it's because, just like this artist, the recruiter has harnessed his skills over the years, learned the best places to look, learned the best approaches to make, made mistakes, learnt from mistakes, used different techniques, built huge networks by talking to thousands of candidates over the years, and can now produce what the client is looking for very quickly. So if anyone ever thinks to themselves, after a recruiter produces a good candidate so quickly, "well that didn't take long, what am I paying this fee for".... the answer is; it did not take the recruiter 24 hours to find your perfect candidate, it took years and years! ;) #recruitment #talent #skills
