Anyone Can Listen, But Can You Hear What is Not Being Said?

By Matt Abel

My Client was in a trance. Who could blame her? All recruiters ask the same questions, in the same order, about job descriptions and responsibilities and preferred experience and education. Who needs  Ambien when you have recruiters?

But I asked: “How many people have you interviewed?” (6) Resumes seen? (15 or so)

I asked: “Why haven’t you hired assuming you only chose people who seemed to fit? (Uh, I want to hire the right person.) I always want to ask, “You mean you won’t hire two wrong people?”

I asked: “Have you made offers that are getting turned down? Do you have a less than compelling story or compensation?” (No we rock! This is a great place to be. I turned them down.)

I asked: Why? (Big pause, deadly pause. It takes discipline and courage to wait this out.) Then came the truth. It was an odd culture, there had been trust issues with the previous VP of Sales. She didn’t want someone who was going to come in and fire everyone and bring in their own people and disturb the culture. They wanted to keep the culture, but with more money.

And now I could recruit! Because I heard what wasn’t said!

About Hobson Associates

Hobson Associates is more than an executive “search” firm. It is an executive found firm. What happens before something is an idea? Our clients want the best and yet these people are not looking. But that doesn’t mean they are fulfilled, or wouldn’t make a move. Our recruiting process unleashes their imagination, the power of the possible. When their desire to grow matches our client’s opportunity, we create their candidacy. There are many things that differentiate Hobson Associates from other executive search firms — which we think will be readily apparent from our first conversation.

But in the meantime, here are a few reasons we should connect:

- 40 years of experience, making us one of the oldest, and largest, privately held search firms in the country.

- Exceptional veteran recruiters who average over eight years of recruiting experience — and who represent the highest concentration of Pinnacle Society members, the society of top-producing recruiters.

- In-depth industry expertise so you don’t have to waste time getting us up to speed on your business and its challenges and opportunities A focus on “delivering” rather than “placing” the candidate which ensures that more of your offers are accepted and your transitions are painless.

- A unique partnership model for our recruiters that further motivates their commitment to your success.
