International Recruiters’ Day

By GSR2R Admin | 4th April 2022

International Recruiters’ Day got me thinking about why I love recruitment.

A lot has changed in recruitment in the decades since I joined the sector.

For starters, recruitment was the fastest growing industry in the UK in 2008. While that might no longer be the case, what hasn’t changed is the value recruiters add to people’s lives and the global economy.

With International Recruiters’ Day on my mind, I asked some of my connections exactly that, and here’s what they had to say.

Big shout out to all recruiters everywhere.  You do an amazing job  and I’m proud to support recruitment businesses and recruiters develop and grow.  

What recruiters say on International Recruiters’ Day

I love recruitment because I can make a difference every day to my clients, candidates and colleagues, just by my daily activities.

Veronica

What I love most about recruitment is being able to build up real solid and trusting relationships with your candidates whereby they look forward to hearing your voice each time you call. It feels like you’re building more of a friendship than a business relationship.

Are you centre stage in your recruitment career?

Recruiters, it’s okay to ask what’s in it for me. In fact, it’s encouraged. Because being centre stage in your recruitment career means asking tough questions before you make a career move.
