Execution is everything in recruitment right now.

I recruit for leadership roles within the recruitment industry.? (Pretty niche, I know).? Right now, most firms I work with have cautious optimism about 2024.? With improvements showing in the numbers throughout Q1.? So that’s the good news.

The bad news is; there’s absolutely no room for passengers.? (Why should there be in any business?? But this is especially true at the moment).? Recruitment businesses need everyone adding value and contributing to the bottom line.? There’s no room for ‘luxury items’.? It’s about people that can make things happen.? The doers.? People who can execute.

Recruitment leaders tend to have big personalities - often with big ideas and plans for world domination.? However the really successful firms have people that will turn these ideas into reality.? Bridging ambition with clear roadmaps for action.? Breaking down grand plans into actionable steps.??

Execution isn’t about micromanagement, or simply doing everything yourself.? It’s about a blend of clear direction, communication, innovation and fostering a culture of accountability.? In other words, it’s a lot easier than it sounds to do it well.??

If you’re serious about moving onwards and upwards in your recruitment career, ask yourself honestly; how good are you at getting things done?? And can you evidence this on your CV or in an interview???

By mastering the art of execution, you'll unlock the potential of your team, your business and your own career.? Execution is an old concept - that’s never been more in-demand than it is currently.?
