How
to even out your placement activity
By Gary Stauble
Recruiters are notorious for going in streaks and
slumps, highs and lows. Over time this tends to even out
but for many it is a repeating pattern that causes a lot
of stress, agony and wasted energy. Being a recruiter
can feel like being an addict at times because you
experience the thrill of elation when you close a big
deal and the agony of self-doubt when you lose one. This
up and down cycle is not unique to recruiters- all
salespeople can relate to the pattern. Staying motivated
after you close some big deals is also a problem for
many in our business. So, how do you increase your
chances for more predictable results and fewer bottles
of Tums?
First, understand that a certain amount of variance
is to be expected. Don't freak out if you are not making
the progress that you think you should be. If you have
been doing this for any length of time you will have had
good periods and bad periods. If you are in a slump at
the moment don’t globalize it and make gloomy future
predictions. Take the emotion out of it and stick to the
activity that you know will lead to placements. Ask
yourself, “How did I get out of the last slump I was in?
What activities and methods helped me to get back on
track”? Focus on doing money-generating activities
without being attached to the placement results. Have a
simple system that makes it easy for you to track and
evaluate your key numbers and ratios. A consistent focus
on generating quality activity (marketing calls,
recruiting calls, new search assignments etc.) and
constant refinement of your methods will help you to
improve your performance with less stress.
In terms of daily discipline, if there is a part of
your day that you tend to dread, such as marketing
calls, then do this first. Find several methods for
introducing yourself to a company that feel authentic
and that you will not dread executing. Then you can
relax a bit and move on to less difficult tasks such as
sourcing and recruiting. Another thing to keep in mind
is having a balance in the activities that you focus on.
Peter Leffkowitz says, "In order to keep your paycheck
balanced, you must keep your desks' activity balanced.
And, in order to keep your desks' activity balanced, you
must to a little bit of each part of the business
everyday". When you have a hot deal in progress it is
easy to go into a "placement coma" and not do the other
activities that will keep your plate full after you make
(or don't make) that hot deal. If you resist this urge
and continue to market and follow up during and after
the placement process you will make business development
easier on yourself.
Planning is a biggie when it comes to consistency.
When most recruiters hear about spending 30-45 minutes
at the end of each day planning the next day's calls
they generally hit the snooze button but it is one of
the key defining differences between big billers and
marginal ones. It also helps to even out your emotions
and to stay on course with the right activities when
more urgent, but less important, items come up during
the day (as they always will). If you can’t stand
planning then see if you can plan your first 20 calls or
plan from 8 AM to 12 PM. A little planning done
consistently is better that a lot of planning done
sporadically. It has been said that, “confusion is the
chief cause of worry” and this is generally the case
when a recruiter shoots from the hip and works
reactively. Having a plan takes much of the stress out
of the execution of your day. When I coach recruiters
and owners on evening out their placement activity it
often has more to do with working smarter rather than
harder and staying focused on the small steps that lead
to their goals.
