From Nightmares to Success: Anthea’s Recruitment Story

Recruitment can be challenging but offers immense satisfaction when things go right. As a Senior Recruiter with TRS Resourcing, Anthea has experienced her share of recruitment nightmares. However, with a direct and open recruitment style, she has turned many horror stories into success stories.

The Importance of Realistic Expectations

One of the important lessons Anthea highlights is the importance of maintaining realistic client expectations. She recalls a client’s exceedingly high expectations for a candidate. Instead of bending to these unrealistic demands, Anthea remained honest and credible. This approach helped set the right expectancies and ultimately avoid potential placement nightmares. By doing so, she ensured that the client received a candidate who was a proper fit for the role rather than one who met a list of impossible criteria.

Open Communication is Key

Anthea’s recruitment style is characterised by direct and open communication. She is straightforward with clients and candidates to avoid misunderstandings and warrant successful placements. This transparency helps build trust and confidence, which is essential in the recruitment process.

Confidence in Candidates

Another significant aspect of Anthea’s approach is her commitment to putting forward candidates with 100% confidence. She understands that recommending a candidate reflects her professional judgment and expertise. Therefore, she takes great care to ensure that every candidate she recommends is thoroughly vetted and capable of meeting the client’s needs. This meticulous approach enhances the chances of a successful placement and helps build long-term client relationships.
