But what should a person who wants to start a career in Recruitment do?

The first step is to want this and be willing to get 100% involved. Recruitment is not an easy process, you must always be persevering, not be demotivated, and above all be involved in what you do and show professionalism. Recruitment is not easy, good candidates are not easy to find, and recruitment is not a purely subjective process, related to flair, as it may seem from the outside.

It is a complex process that involves the analysis of professional, technical skills, as well as soft skills needed to be able to integrate a candidate into a team and organizational culture. Sometimes it may seem almost impossible to match a jobseeker with a certain vacancy. And here comes the perseverance that a recruiter must not lack.

Therefore, before you think about starting a career in HR, you need to make sure that you have what it takes to succeed in this field: good communication and communication skills with people from different backgrounds, being a good listener, to be a little stubborn, to have a positive attitude and to keep your enthusiasm even when the recruitment is at a certain impasse or when you have to work under pressure.

A good recruiter must be self-taught, he must always look for information, he must understand very well the position for which he is recruiting, he must ask pertinent questions to help him clarify things that are unclear to him.

The recruiter must be curious, always read, want to develop professionally, and be successful for the company he works for. And the performance in recruitment is measured in the number of good candidates that you managed to bring in the company and in the number of clients satisfied with the recommendation made.

Moreover, the recruiter must be very well organized, uncompromising, know how to sell and sell his candidates. It's no secret that recruiting is a matter of pure marketing and sales. The quality of a recruiter should not be neglected, which is the key to success in recruiting. If you did not understand in detail all the requirements of the position for which you are recruiting, then you have a very high chance that the placement of the candidate will not be a quality one.

If you like challenges, it means that recruiting suits you because it is a very dynamic field in which you have to deal with the possible "obstacles" that stand in the way of achieving your goals. It is a field where no one day is like another, and the satisfaction comes from the number of good people you manage to bring in the company.

The results of a recruiter's work are measured in the performance and productivity of a team, in the longevity of the recruited candidates, and the financial balance of a company.
