In earlier days, a recruiter was often seen as just an intermediate between "the company" and "the candidate". Someone who would help a company find an attract the best person for the job. Maybe that person would als offer some advice to candidates. But that would approximately sum it up. As a matter of fact, this was also how I considered myself to be...But, not any more.

The enormous amounts of (new) availble resources, new market evolutions and especially new ways of networking and doing business have taken the job of recruiter to the next level.

Being a recruiter is no longer just "a job", but it has become a way of living. (mental note: although I ask myself: is that truely that much different from before?) As I tell my friends and colleagues: it's not about something you do, but something you are. Constantly on the oulook for new opportunies, adapting to this rapidly changing world around us. Our mission: to boldly go where no man has gone before (thank you, Cpt. Picard!).

By creating The Gatekeeper, I hope to add some philosophical thoughts on the business we are in. And maybe, to open new gates and see what's beyond.
