In all these years of staffing for both small and large consulting, I have learnt that recruiting is both a science and an art. In helping to build companies or departments from the ground up, a recruiter must partner with senior leadership to hire the right blend of skills and personalities.As a recruiter I need to have the business acumen to understand the marketplace so I can develop appropriate hiring strategies.
