Sorry, I can’t tell you how to get your resume looked at by a recruiter I don’t know at a company I know nothing about – although I can tell you how to bat at least a little better than average, there’s no silver bullet for sourcing for candidates or searching for jobs. Recruiting Never Rests.

Those used to be the minimum qualifications for this line of work, but these days, it seems that anyone with a liberal arts degree can simply step out of the college classroom and into recruitment; hell, many people who just need a job, any job, somehow seems to find their way into this profession. Recruiters are none of these things.

Why do we not have a governing body that’s responsible for professional accreditation and certification? I looked at AIRS, but their programs are pretty general and more focused on sourcing than bigger picture professional competencies or even ethics. It’s not that I’m bitter, it’s that I’m bemused.

We’re lambasted by job seekers, internally ridiculed by hiring managers, and seen as a convenient scapegoat for the many frustrations and aggravations inherent to finding or filling a job – a broken process that’s falling apart largely because recruiters are failing to fix what’s broken.

This year, unlike last, I wasn’t a passive attendee, but rather, was flattered to be asked to lead one of the sourcing roundtables offered during the breakout sessions, which quickly turned into the kind of tool time hack-a-thon that geeks like myself (and anyone else whose idea of fun involves sourcing and slating candidates).

See, recently, my role has focused more on sourcing than recruiting, which has been a recurring theme throughout my career, with the line between these two continuously shifting from req to req, client to client. “Job Description” Doesn’t Have To Be An Oxymoron.

The way jobs get created is one heck of a fable, and you probably wouldn’t believe it even if I told it to you, which is why I’ve decided to stick to sourcing and screening instead of storytelling. For that matter, if that’s not sourcing, what is? Social isn’t a source of hire. The world makes me sad.

Sourcing sucks when you have no idea what role it is you’re really filling, a big handicap considering you can’t fail, at least if you’re the kind of recruiter who has a job and reputation on the line with every single search, no matter what specialty we speciously self-identify with.

Hiring managers and organizations always needing more candidates, even when they have enough, and never being satisfied, no matter how overstuffed a pipeline or slate might be, is simply part of being a sourcing or recruiting professional. You make our lives harder, the least we can do as recruiters is try to return the favor.
