I wanted to share something with you that made me smile and also got me reflecting on advice I was given years ago.
Recently I was asked by a candidate (who’ll remain nameless!) if he needed to pay me for helping him secure his new role. I assured him that was absolutely unnecessary, but jokingly suggested he could write a nice Google review for me instead!
However his question reminded me of the advice I was given, and I think it’s still relevant today: “Your client may send you the money, but it’s the candidate, and in particular the quality of your candidate, that pays the bill.”
So, in many respects, the candidate has paid me!
