You know, if there was just one thing you would have implemented in the early stage of your recruitment career with the hindsight you have now, what would it be?
Planning.
Yeah.
Yeah, I was shit at it. Like, I literally was like, I'll just go into the office and see what happens today. You have to go in with a plan. You know, you've got to know what you're doing. I always say candidates for the morning, BD in the afternoon, candidates will be your BD. I could go on all day about it, but I see so many people coming into recruitment and they go into the office and they're like, I don't know what I'm doing today. You've wasted a day already. If you go in and don't know what you're doing, you might as well just not go in. Like, that's the hardest thing.
