Food Job Blog: The inside track on Food Recruitment and Careers

I'm unemployed and nobody cares! I keep hearing this and at the weekend when we have friends round.  In one instance, the person in question was until recently a main board Director of a major plc and he is now active on the market - he is writing a list of all those recruiters who don't phone back, don't do what they say they will do and when he gets his next huge job - which he will - he is going to ban their involvement from his operation.

Now I do sympathise, but I also think comments like this can be a bit rich. I have another friend who is a Commercial Director who rants about time scales and how slow recruiters can be at coming back to him... I keep reminding him what he was like as a client - when we waited a month for feedback on a candidate. What comes around goes around!

I guess the answer is to try to treat everyone as you wish to be treated yourself.  A mantra we try to hold true to - but is frequently very difficult.
