Bradley-Morris Client Best Practices

The Hunter Always Wins

Clients who attend our Hiring Conferences tend to arrive with either a Hunter or a Gatherer mentality. The Hunter shows up with an aggressive, goal-driven attitude to land the candidates they want. They are driven to bag their prey. The Gatherer, on the other hand evaluates, deliberates, and tends to let the process play itself out.

While there are examples where the Gatherer was successful, this was more often than not the result of factors such as a higher compensation package, better location, or a stronger opportunity. All things being equal, the Hunter always wins. Just like in business where the company that seizes opportunity and moves on their objective will win the day, recruiting is no different.

A Hiring Conference by its very nature is a competitive event for both the candidates and the clients. You will be interviewing the cream of the U.S. military and our most successful clients are on the hunt for them.

Key survey quote:

“Company A always comes to the conference mentally prepared. What I mean is that they carry a mindset that they are going to be assertive and self-confident on behalf of their company and the job opportunity. I’ve had many candidates tell me that going into the interview Company A was not their first choice. However after the initial interview Company A became their top choice.”
