Top 10 qualities of a Triton Recruitment Top Biller:
It is without a doubt that in the recruitment industry communication is key! Recruiters that become top billers are able to convey information effectively and professionally. Communication skills are vital for understanding both client and candidate requirements, as well as providing feedback, negotiating offers and building rapport.
Recruitment is a fast paced, ever-changing environment. On a day-to-day basis, there are many variables that can change, from industry changes to candidate expectations. Top recruitment consultants have the ability to adapt to change and any setbacks.
Having a solid understanding of the industry / market you work in is a key indicator of a successful recruiter. This involves staying up to date with industry trends, emerging technologies, as well as changes in skillset and requirements. Having deep industry knowledge, allows a recruiter to understand technical requirements and offer valuable insights to both candidates and clients.
The best recruiters are the ones you can trust. As a recruiter, you are representing both your candidates and your clients throughout the recruitment process. Recruitment consultants who are reliable and deliver on their word are the most successful and benefit from returning business as a result of their reliability.
Contrary to popular belief, recruitment isn’t just about matching CVs to a job description. A recruiter who can build and maintain strong relationships with both candidates and clients are more likely to become top billers. These relationships are built on trust and a showing a genuine interest in helping people achieve their goals.
Demonstrating a target driven attitude to exceed internal and external targets can be the difference between a good recruiter and a great recruiter. Targets are set to help you direct your activity in order to become a successful recruiter.
Great recruiters present themselves with confidence. Those who have confidence in their craft and abilities often tend to be more successful. There are a number of situations that require confidence, whether it be presenting to a client, facilitating an interview day or socialising at a networking event. All these things will benefit your business and influence how successful you are as a recruiter.
Having strong organisational skills and being able to juggle multiple tasks, shows signs of a top recruiter. Ensuring that clients and candidates are provided with quick responses, updates and follow-ups are all day-to-day recruitment tasks. The best recruiters can manage their time effectively to make sure all tasks are complete without compromising quality.
Recruitment can be challenging at times, therefore the best recruiters possess the ability to think on their feet to resolve any issues. In many cases, a client will work with a recruiter if their candidate requirement is hard to find, so by nature problem solving is a key component of the job!
In many cases, the best recruiters think outside the box! Going hand in hand with problem solving, often attacking a problem with a bit of creativity and resourceful thinking goes a long way. Being able to adapt to your environment and produce innovative solutions can be the making of a top biller!
