I think in order to be an outstanding recruiter in this market, you need to be surprisingly different. How do you make sure you're surprisingly different? I think that starts with integrity. I think integrity is the number one thing we look at when we hire people. I always tell my team to try to give the best possible advice to candidates and clients, especially when it's not in your own best interest, because that's where you'll, you'll really make a lasting impression. But if I'd add two next to integrity, it would be authenticity in order to be able to create a good connection really fast, which I think is crucial, and curiosity. Like, as a recruiter, you need to be great at asking questions. So I'd add that one to the list as well.
