Personable makes all the difference. REALLY reading one’s resume too.
I was approached by Tracy H – Anaplan recruiter – who was determined that we are a good fit. After a few “thank you; I’m not actively looking,” I gave in and listened. Researched the company too. And it is everything she said. And more. Fed up with recruiters’ cold calls for positions I’m neither interested in nor qualified for, this was a refreshing surprise.
Tracy was warm, kind, and proactive – qualities one rarely finds in a recruiter.
While the process is somewhat lengthy, updates are timely, relevant, and there’s a keen effort invested in building long term relationships. Better yet, I’m not part of “a hole looking for a peg” process, but it’s rather a process of finding out together “are you a good fit for us? are we a good fit for you?”
