Recruiting is like a Box of Condiments

It dawned on me last week, recruiting is just like condiments at your street corner hot dog stand. The end game is the same – hire a great candidate or eat a great hotdog – but the path and preference to that end game can be very different. You may like relish on your dog while I’m strictly a ketchup and mustard kind of gal (mostly because I am).


I’ve been writing for a couple months now for Smartrecruiters serving up bite sized tips, tricks, and insights for the recruiter, human resource professional, or small business girl or guy who is responsible for hiring, interviewing, and recruiting at their organization.

With recruiting there are so many paths to the end result and different options, tools, and methods to getting there.  The key is to figure out what condiment works for you in the recruiting game really depends on a few simple things.

 

 

 

Truth be told there’s no right answer in recruiting which is what makes it so difficult.  It’s the same reason why people swear by calamari on their coney.  And it’s the reason why the New Jersey Hot Dog War between Rutt’s Hutt and Mutt’s Hutt keep on delivering scandalizing and delicious hot dogs as well as their condiments since 2009.  There’s passion in a good condiment as well as recruiting. Find yours.
