Being a good recruiter requires so much more than simply finding a body for a job. A good recruiter gets a rush from helping candidates and employers connect to find the best possible match. How does a recruiter find the right person for the right job at the right time? LISTENING

The essential skill of a good recruiter is to listen and take on board all the needs of the applicant as well as the hiring manager/employer. What motivates the candidate? Why did they move on from last employer?

Too often we meet clients who approach recruiters with caution as they’ve had a negative experience in the past. Not all recruiters are equal and we’d like to introduce a few hand picked professionals who truly care and are good at what they do. So reach out to these guys, their WeChat contacts are below for quick access. What are you waiting for?
