Fast Track Recruitment

Attitude

Posted by Mitch on 27th October 2015

This is another of those fatuous motivational memes you see on LinkedIn about every 3 minutes. The thinking being presented here is that if you think big or believe you can do something, you’ll succeed.

That you’ll roar rather than miaow.

The real-world problem here is that attitude makes a big difference only until the other person realises that you really are just a pussycat.

They tend to realise that when the fighting starts.

Or when they open their eyes.

Whichever happens first.

The lesson for inexperienced recruiters is stick to what you know or what’s easy to understand. To not try to pass yourself off as an “international headhunter” and/or try to fill roles you have no way of understanding.

I’m not surprised the author of that quote wanted to stay anonymous.
