Greetings from Sydney!
A few weeks ago for my birthday, my family treated me to tickets to Hamilton the musical. While I know next to nothing about the American Revolutionary War, the story was entertaining, the dancing memorable and the lyrics and musical incredible.
One of the songs recounts a young Alexander Hamilton champing at the bit at his opportunity to create change with the anticipated revolution and push for American independence. He sings proudly that he “is not throwing away his shot."
So fellow recruiters, while not advocating a call to arms or any violence whatsoever, I do recommend we take our current opportunities.
Economies across the world are rebounding, talent is short and clients are reaching out to recruiters every day. Having traded through many economic cycles over 21 years, being candidate-short is much better for recruiters than being job-short.
This is a great time for us, so make the most of it. Tap into your NPAworldwide partners to help fill your roles, share information and IP, work together so clients remember you when the boom slows.
Do not throw away your shot.
Happy splitting!
