In decades of recruiting Sales Professionals, I've never been asked to find a farmer. "I need a Hunter", the client demands. "I want someone who opens new doors, get's new business, closes deals.", they exclaim. They say they don't want a farmer who nurses existing accounts...they need growth and gosh darn, a Hunter is going to do it.

A few weeks ago, my wife and I went out to see “The Avengers” movie for our weekly date night. During the previews before the movie, there was an interview with KISS front man Gene Simmons (yes, I just said that). And, while I really wasn’t paying much attention, there was a segment of the interview that really grabbed my attention. It was when Gene quoted someone named David Sterling. For those that don’t know, Mr. Sterling founded the British Special Air Service (SAS) in 1941. Essentially, the SAS is a special forces arm of the British Military and their work is kept highly confidential.

With unemployment so low, the top candidates are in more demand than ever before. The best in their field are head down, working hard and are being contacted by multiple companies to come and work for them…..and these professionals are NOT ACTIVELY LOOKING. They have their pick of suitors and can weigh their options. You are not the only one they’re dating.

Clients often ask me for my thoughts regarding their hiring process. Is it missing anything? How many interviews are appropriate? How long should the entire process take? What does a competitive offer look like?

People call us headhunters…I take no offense. True, we do look for people that have the skills to do a job, but even if we find the perfect person, if the circumstances aren’t right, then no deal. If there aren’t at least three conditions present, none of which can be gleaned from a resume, then all the interviewing and courting in the world won’t help.

We all know that the “job hunt” process can be an emotional roller coaster. Although online job application has made openings within your favorite company more accessible, it’s also muddied the waters. Companies are inundated with applicants, many of whom aren’t even close to being qualified. So, out of necessity and repetition, do you know how long most recruiters spend reviewing your resume?

I saw a video of a fellow up noted that the wealthiest and most successful people have a servant mentality. True perhaps, but does that mean doing anything for your self is, well, selfish?
