Taken from an address to a selection of “Mid to Senior”recruiters
on a tour of B.R.I.C countries- late 2007
“Myrmidon was created on the principle that Recruitment Consultants are in truth Sales People. We sell our services to Clients and we sell our “Career Opportunities” to our Candidates. This principle is true in both “Booming” and “Recessive” economies.
The Industrialisation of Recruitment fuelled by the speed of communication through the internet, job-boards, “key word search / match” etc. certainly has helped in the “Logical” selection of a career moves for our candidates, however, the “Emotional” deciders still have to be talked through with a Consultant. So, the “Human touch” of the Recruiter and his/her ability to “sell the vision” of the future to Candidates is as important today as it was when the Pharaohs required Stone Masons to work on the Pyramids.
So, we are Sales People! We are highly driven individuals; we push ourselves to achieve targets set by ourselves or others. We are confident. We are strong.We have egos. We, no.... I am the best.I am the highest biller. I hold the record for the highest fee. I made the most placements in the team last year.
My Clients love me. I am supreme amongst Recruiters. I am Achilles, the greatest warrior the world has ever known.
However, we read history, we know and remember the worlds greatest by his heel, his one weakness. We read further and we discover he had, through all of his victories, an unstoppable, loyal, and dedicated support who stood with him until; .......... “that fateful day at Troy when fresh and rosy fingered dawn arose, he went, leaving behind him his loyal Myrmidon.........” (Homer; The Iliad)
