Not Just Another Salesperson Selling Staffing: How to Differentiate Yourself w/Scott Clark

Talent Hunters

In industries and specializations full of recruiters, the last thing you want is to be lumped in with all the other salespeople selling staffing. The truth is: in competitive digs, there are a lot of headhunters who promise the world, but deliver nothing.

There’s only one way to escape this category. You have to prove you’re not just another service provider draining the resources of clients and wasting the time of candidates.

The secret to doing that is building authentic relationships and being a genuine partner for both sides of the recruiting process. Ultimately, what we’re selling is excitement and solutions, and the more we lead with that, the better off we’ll be.

Does technology factor into what we do? How do we win both clients and candidates? In this episode, I’m joined by the owner of DirectPath Recruiting Services, Scott Clark. As a new owner, he shares why he chose MRI and how he sets himself up for success.
