Requirements: Submit your original, previously unpublished comments on “What
qualities do outstanding engineering recruiters possess?”
They understand the nuances of engineers. The answer can best be summed up in one word – CRISP.
C- Clear path to helping them navigate to the next career move. They are structured individuals always with an “end-in-mind”.
R – Respectful of their time and the key role they play in their organization. No different than how you would act around your doctor, dentist or lawyer.
I – Intelligent conversations about your industry, your knowledge and the roles you offer. If you don’t know what you’re talking about, they will sniff you out in a minute and be done with you.
S- Sage advice has to be offered from time to time, but the delivery of that advice is timely. Even though the 9-page resume is great, you must be able to get them to see that they may also want to have a 1-page executive summary available too.
P – Personable and approachable as you get to know them and understand their story and ambitions. Keeping in mind that they are human and put their pants on one leg at a time too.
Engineers love their acronyms. It’s a telltale sign if you know their industry or not. Hopefully CRISP will help you get your voicemails and emails returned.
