-: I most enjoy when I get to genuinely help somebody
either transition into a new area
or transition into a higher paying job,
something that they've been trying to do
and haven't been able to do.
But on a daily basis, I love talking to people.
And I love solving puzzles, I am so about it.
And so you have this job description
and you're looking for this perfect person
who's gonna take the right amount of shots
when they go out to happy hour with the team
and who's, you know, gonna do the job perfectly,
and when you find that person
and you know in the initial conversation,
it is the best feeling in the world.
Well, the problem is you're working with people,
so, same issue, you know,
it's great talking to people every day
but you're not selling vacuums,
and so you have people on both sides of this equation.
So, the worst kind of day as a recruiter
is when you've found that perfect person for the job
and then they go through the interview process
and then decide that, you know,
even though they were fine with this hour-long commute
for the entire process,
now they're not really feeling it,
or now they've gotten a job offer
from someone else and it's two dollars more a year
and they're gonna take that instead.
There's no way to prepare for all the factors
when your dealing with people.
