Recruitment success requires three time horizons: filling current openings (the fight), deepening client relationships (the battle), and building your brand to attract future clients (the war). Focusing only on immediate jobs leaves you vulnerable to gaps in pipeline and growth.

What are the things that I need to keep doing day in, day out that hopefully would mean over a period of time it will really start paying off? Yeah, I think we had a chat about this in English yesterday. I think it's about short-term, medium-term, and long-term. So the short-term is the jobs on your table, and that's what people typically just tend to look at and tend to work. You've got to start thinking about the medium-term, which is, okay, how do I— those clients I'm working with, how do I get into them more? How do I expand them? And in long-term, the clients you don't even know yet, what am I doing around that? So am I putting out my brand? Are people recognizing what I'm the best at? Or what I'm saying I'm the best at, at least? Am I creating events? Am I posting things on social media? So I think it's just down to the planning, which is don't just look at what's on your desk right now. Think about what's going to be on your desk in a couple of months' time. No, I like that because it's so easy to look at just what's in front of you. We phrased it as the fight, the battle, and the war. Fight, battle, and war. I like that. You need all of them.
