Why does the greatest golfer in the world have a golf coach?
What is a coach going to teach him? Tiger is a better golfer than his coach, for god?s sake!
The reality is that no matter how good you are, you can always get better. Tiger Woods knows this.
He also knows you can?t be your own coach. It is very difficult to observe & critique your own performance.
You often need another set of ?eyes? to help you understand your strengths and weaknesses; understand what you do well and what you need to improve.
To this point, when was the last time someone observed you (your):
- Performing an intake session with a hiring manager?
- Email solicitations?
- Leaving a voice mail?
- Trying to solicit referrals from prospects.
- Overcoming objections?
- Doing a phone interview?
- Prepping a candidate for an interview?
These are all vital steps in our recruitment process. The folks that execute these well are usually the best recruiters within any organization. The best recruiters I know are not the best because they are doing something different, they are the best because they do everything well.
With that said, when was the last time you had someone observe you do the processes listed above? When was the last time you taped yourself and then critiqued your performance?
NO ONE GETS BETTER AT ANYTHING unless they continually observe performance, identify areas for improvement, develop an action plan to get better and ? Execute.
If you want to be the Tiger Woods of recruiting, I suggest you seek out a coach!
