There’s normal stress, and then there’s off-the-charts corporate job recruiter stress
Being a corporate recruiter is stressful work. You’ve got to compete with others for talent, figure out the delicate balance between a candidate and your company, worry whether the new fit is really the best fit, and keep your cool amid all the chaos.
And then, sometimes, the stress gets kicked up yet another notch.
Unfamiliar vertical market
Maybe you’re new to the company. You’ve hit the ground running, but now you’ve had an unexpected stumble. You’re in an unfamiliar vertical market, and it’s going to take you some time to get your bearings.
But you don’t really have that extra time. Not for this project.
A change of assignment
You’ve been kicking butt for a while now. You know your stuff, and you can even deal with the stress at a certain level. But your reward for good work is more good work.
Good news: You’ve been given new assignments.
Bad news: You have to deal with unfamiliar technology.
The worse news: You’ve got to fill the position stat.
Your boss’s pet project
It’s 4:30 p.m. on a Friday. You’re at your desk, wrapping up loose ends of the week and making your to-do list for the upcoming one. But if your life had a soundtrack, here’s when the suspenseful music would kick in.
The CEO has a pet project and wants you to get the talent to help get that project done. OK, no prob-Oh, wait. The CEO’s out on vacation in a week and wants it done before that.
Put another pot of coffee on, cancel your weekend plans, and remember to breathe. It’s going to be a long weekend.
Outsource the hiring process
A corporate job recruiter’s job isn’t an easy one. That’s part of the thrill. You love a challenge, and there’s nothing like the satisfaction of getting the right people for the right positions at the right company.
