Over the last few months, I have been working with (and speaking to) numerous corporate recruitment organizations on what it takes to go from good to 'elite'! While I find there are many "good" recruiters out there, there are far less that have the passion and drive required to be 'Elite'.

Of course this discussion begs the question - - what are the competencies and skills of 'Elite' recruiters?

We have created two "self-assessment" tools to help you assess whether you have the competencies and skills of a top performing recruiter. Please feel free to "rate" yourself. It is completely confidential. Of course, you need to be completely honest with yourself with respect to your skill level.

• Staffing Competency Assessment


• Recruiter Skills Assessment

I think you will find it thought provoking and fun!

In the next couple of weeks, I will publish the results of all that have participated (again - completely confidential).

For any recruitment leaders that want to have your team participate and capture your overall team results, please contact me. We will set up separate links for your team only.

As always - I would love your feedback on these tools. Any thoughts, suggestions, additions, etc. - - please contact me!

Note: These tools are primarily meant for corporate recruiters. In the next month, we will be publishing a competency/skills questionairre for sourcing professionals. Details to follow.

I hope you are having a productive week!
