Reality check: Recruiters are not your personal job finders.

This viewpoint may burst some bubbles for most job seekers. It’s a hard reality and needs to be understood by job seekers who have the wrong idea about what recruiters and headhunters do for a living.

They can take the resume and push it to everyone they know…right? Dead wrong.

Michael Gionta

....My BIGGEST Mistake in Client Development!

When I opened my firm in 1990... well... I kinda, no I did... SUCK! In my first year in this business I only cashed in $23,000 personally. Even if you adjust for inflation, maybe if you're kind, we come up with $50,000 in today's dollars. I did everything the wrong way... client development, time management, prepping, closing, training, leading, etc.

Why use Skills Testing?

Lewis Prescott of Skills Arena,

Organisations want to be able to hire, the right person, first time. A 2010 report predicted the global recruitment market to be worth more than $369 billion by 2014, with much of the expense falling into the hands of business looking to recruit.
