Finding the Right Person is what I do as a recruiter. It's what all successful recruiters do. If I get an order from Intel for a director of marketing for their next generation of microprocessors I'll tell you what i am going to do. I am going to find the right person and make the placement.
kinda reminds me of this:
Hyman Roth:There was this kid I grew up with - he was younger than me. Sortalooked up to me - you know. We did our first work together - worked ourway out of the street. Things were good, we made the most of it. DuringProhibition - we ran molasses into Canada - made a fortune - youfather, too. As much as anyone, I loved him - and trusted him. Later onhe had an idea - to build a city out of a desert stop-over for GI's onthe way to the West Coast. That kid's name was Moe Green - and the cityhe invented was Las Vegas. This was a great man - a man of vision andguts. And there isn't even a plaque - or a signpost - or a statue ofhim in that town! Someone put a bullet through his eye. No one knowswho gave the order - when I heard it, I wasn't angry; I knew Moe - Iknew he was head-strong, talking loud, saying stupid things. So when heturned up dead - I let it go. And I said to myself, this is thebusiness we've chosen - I didn't ask who gave the order - because ithad nothing to do with business!
I don't remember the last time a client asked me where or how did I find this candidate. I am also quite sure that the companies don't ask the researchers where they came across the name of the person on the list they are buying.
