Owner/Manager Virtual Retreat Session Seven - What’s your RVP? (Recruiter Value Proposition): An Aspirational Approach to Attracting Your Best Badass Team!

Most of us would never recruit someone by telling them how badly our client needs to hire or how due you are for making a placement! (please tell me you don’t do that)

But when we write postings for recruiters, when we interview them, and when we offer them jobs, the meta messaging is often:

• Are you sure you want to do this? It’s really hard!
• It’s a l-l-l-l-ong ramp up…but hey, you’re young, your bills are nothing compared to mine!
• (The Humble Brag) “It’s a piece of cake, I did it, and if I can do it anyone can!!”
• If you don’t make it, you’ll learn a lot about the real world.

Really?! And then we’re surprised we lose them to competitors? And not because of money, but for lack of Aspiration…lack of our own belief in how incredible this business can be! How there must be a God to put you in front of my desk during this market at this place in time!!!

So in this session we’ll learn to sell ourselves. Then we’ll talk best practices in how to find and attract and overcome the concerns of the best talent available. Selling against our business, in a noble attempt to “be realistic” has got you a bunch of also rans…let’s learn to let go of the nightmare scenario and get back to selling the dream…
