Training a new recruiter

Sorry, been busy lately. We're working on bringing another recruiter on our team -- not EASY! It's good b/c it reminds me of why people dislike recruiters -- and reminds me to be empathetic when talking to candidates -- for all they know, I'm just another guy with a phone looking to make buck who doesn't know the difference between Java and C++.

Busy first quarter

Lax on my posting, I've been super busy.

1) We're looking to expand - we're interviewing recruiters to join our team, which is a very odd experience (I'll go into detail in a bit).

2) We're closing deals at an outstanding clip -- I've done some really interesting placements in the last three months, from a couple of developers at start ups, a number of placements at the big three I-banks, and two major quant deals. I like the fact that I'm finding interesting people and jobs that really fit what they are looking for. This is the busiest/most productive I've ever been as a recruiter.

3) Finally feeling better (somewhat).
