Dear Nicky,
I am a job recruiter, with lots of open jobs right now which is appealing to candidate recruiters. I have a few tips I would like to share with candidate recruiters so that we can be more successful working together.
- Don’t send a candidate just because they work in my focus area; make sure you understand what it is I do and how I do it before sending candidates.
- Don’t send a candidate that you haven’t talked to; you wouldn't do that to your client, and your NPAworldwide partners are also your clients.
- Don’t send a candidate and call me ten minutes later to see if I received him and could I possibly place him.
- Make sure you have “qualified” your candidate against my job order. I am not looking for speculative candidates.
I like splits and making money with my NPAworldwide partners, and I think these tips will lead to more success.

Dear Fussy,
Good points, thanks for sharing. It is about building relationships and treating your partner that way you want to be treated. There are as many different ways to work as there are members in NPAworldwide, so it's important to find trading partners with a matching work style. Most job recruiters are like you—they want to receive candidates that a member has spoken with and have been qualified against a specific job. We always encourage members to talk to each other before commencing any search activity. It's more efficient and leads to fewer problems when everyone is on the same page, with the same expectations, at the outset of a placement.
