What is a typical day in the life of recruiting?
A typical day in recruiting is pretty regimented; the recruiter is on a schedule. They arrive at the office and have a morning meeting with their team, similar to a scrum. This meeting is to discuss achievements from the prior sales session and to focus on what to achieve in the morning session.
The recruiter then focuses on specific jobs. They spend time reaching out to candidates on LinkedIn, sourcing passive candidates, and finding their contact information like phone numbers and email addresses. This also involves proactively following up.
This work includes a lot of cold calling and scheduled calls with people who respond. It's described as "smiling and dialing," along with pointed research and list generation.
