Enjoyed meeting you in Boston – perhaps the next time one of us will bring along a voice recording instrument…

You are so right in believing that building a remarkable experience is at the core of recruiting. It it more than just “would you be interested in learning about an opportunity that is superior to your current situation?” which many believe is all that is needed to catch a fish.

Consider the entire spectrum of what makes a recruiting function: Strategic planning, organiational impact, processes, systems, and metrics. For each to be remarkable requires an incredible amount of work – and perhaps even a reengineering in one’s mind about what remarkable truly is (considre adopting the Buddhist’s beginner’s mind for this one).

Think about the impact on the customer in every step of the recruiting process, in every technology dollar spent, in every metric used to measure results, in every discussion with internal leaders, and in every plan created to achieve goals.

Remarkable is a long, hard road.
