‘Comments’ and Compliments: ‘Out of My Area of Expertise’ Edition

by Matthew Deutsch on 03.27.2012

ALL split placements are satisfying, but the argument could be made that some are more satisfying than others. An example: when a Preferred Member recruiter makes a split placement that’s outside of their niche or area of expertise.

'Comments' and Compliments That’s the overriding theme in this week’s edition of “Comments and Compliments.” In two of the three split placements we’re highlighting, the recruiter with the job order had an order that was outside of their niche. Rather than turn it down, though, they accepted it and shared it with the Network.

That was the best move they could make, since it resulted in a split placement. They took a job order they weren’t equipped to work on their own and turned it into a placement. Not only that, but they also set the precedent for making more placements outside of their niche in the future.

Now . . . that’s satisfying.

Donald Walker, CPC “Don was my first call when I got this JO since it’s something out of my area of expertise. Within a short time, he sent one candidate, who he had thoroughly screened and interviewed, and she was right on target.”
