It’s no secret that our industry has its share of ups and downs. The amount of time, effort and energy that each role demands can at times feel overwhelming, but it’s important to remember why we’re here doing it in the first place!
Alongside the hardwork often leading to positive financial reward, we at Brilliantin Recruitment are acutely aware is about building relationships with people.
Without those relationships we have no business and without any business – you guessed it – there is no reward. I know it seems basic and you’ve definitely heard it before but one of the most powerful tools we have in our arsenal is trust.
Building trust should be easy. You meet someone for the first time, have a chat – maybe find something trivial you have in common. Have a cheeky joke, a quick laugh and a warm handshake when it’s time to say goodbye. Congratulations! You’ve just laid the foundation for what could potentially be a nice friendship down the line…
What we need to do as consultative recruiters goes beyond this. At Brilliantin Recruitment, we realise that our clients and candidates are usually looking to improve their current situation. A business may be in the process of expanding and might need to bring on more staff to fill new roles. A candidate may need a better paying role, or one that aligns more closely with their interests or expertise. On both sides of this equation there is the potential for turmoil. We at Brilliantin strive to be the voice of reason and build a level of trust that shows we have everyone’s best interest at heart.
How do we do this? Above all else, trust is built on honesty, integrity and communication. At Brilliantin Recruitment, we aren’t simply looking for the shortest distance to the finish line. We truly listen to what candidates tell us about who they are, what they can offer and what they hope to achieve. If we can demonstrate that we’re truly on their side and want them to succeed, that level of trust will pay dividends down the line for all parties!
At Brilliantin, we strive to stand out as recruiters. With the advantage of years of experience behind us, we realise that it’s not always cut and dry and this industry can surprise (and delight!) us. With an understanding of the importance of trust on all sides, combined with that real-world experience, our business is constantly growing and we’re looking ahead to a Brilliant future!!
