In English speaking countries there’s approximately 80,000 – 90,000 recruiters.

[2:11]
If you can’t stand out from the crowd you’re just gunna seem like any other recruiter.

[2:21]
You have to be able to convince your clients that you’re not only different from very other recruitment or search firm but also better too.

[2:57]
So some things that you must start doing from today if you want to stand out from he crowd and by the way, it doesn’t include making your prices the lowest thing out there.

[3:17]
Step one. You’ve got to do some marketing.

[3:28]
The top performers are using 40-50 different ways of getting the message out there. One of the reasons you’re being ignored right now is cause your obscure, people haven’t even heard of you.

[3:42]
You’ve got to add your personality to your marketing because thats what people engage with.

[4:03]
What your find a lot of recruitment and search firm owners do they’re almost to scared to be themselves because they’re scared that they’re upset someone, they’re scared that someone won’t like them and in doing so what actually happens is they come across vanilla, they come across boring and they come across like every other recruitment and search firm out there so putting your personality in your marketing is the best thing that you can do.

[5:09]
You are gunna piss some people off, but the moment you try to be all things to all people you end up being nothing to nobody. You can’t be all things to all people whatever you do.

[5:49]

Most recruiters will go out of business within the first 5 years of being in buisness.

[7:55]
Success leave clues, but also so does failure.

[7:58]
If you do what someone else is doing you’re gunna end up with pretty much the same results or at least very similar results.

[9:12]
Do you really want to be mediocre? Would you want your kids to say you’re a mediocre parent or your partner to say your a mediocre lover? Im sure you wouldn’t.

[10:17]
You’ve got to be absolutely relentless in your marketing and no stopping.

[11:43]
You could be the best in the industry, unless you have the ability to get that message out to the people in your sector so they know it and they believe it aswell then it all counts for nothing.

[12:53]
What happens with a lot of recruiters is they go through periods of marketing relentlessly and its usually when they haven’t got any clients.
