Job Description
Telemarketing 80%, Face to face sales 5%, Interviewing 15%.
Day runs from 7:45 to 6:30, your role is to find clients (think yellowpages) doing some cold calls, get vacancies, find candidates using online and print media, interview these people, and put the right people forward to the client. Courage to make calls and expectation management are the hardest parts of the role. If you can do these, the interviewing/assesment side is a piece of cake.
Pros
Good pay, recruiters get paid about $80-100k, and 60% is salary which makes life a bit easier than commission only. Very social environment, and very engaging. If you are good, you build excellent relationships with clients based on your excellent past work which is nice.
Cons
You become very sales driven as you are pressured to report to management at least twice per week on jobs. I found myself saying things I did not believe - spewing all sorts of lies about jobs to get things across the line. When you take it too far, you lose "candidate control," they won't speak to you, and you are screwed.
