Everyone talks about hiring 10x engineers 10x marketer, 100x Growth guys but no one talks about finding 10x recruiters.
And the more I think - you know why you never even thought about a 10x recruiter - because most companies don’t even deserve one
A 10x recruiter doesn't exist in your company because your system is designed to crush them. You reward mediocrity - quick hires, cheap salaries, finding people who can join today and "fit in". A 10x recruiter wouldn't survive your pseudo metrics-driven, quantity-over-quality hiring machine. They’d burn out or leave because your priorities are f*ing backwards.
Disagee? Okay ... Think about this..
Would you like being challenged as a hiring manager? Most HM's cant hold an argument, their titles enters the conversation before they open their mouth - forget having a conversation as equals & pairing to solve a problem
Would you like push backs? And when they do.. Go on.. Write the recruiters off as ... Dude has got attitude problem
Isn't your default OS: I dont need to invest time, just get me the results
Which is why most recruiters are a cog in your broken system
You want a 10x recruiter - think beyond you broken-a*s KPIs
Your 10x recruiter doesn't exist or is a rarity because you have turned hiring into a conveyor belt
10x recruiter are thinkers, problems solvers, risk takers
10x recruiters see patterns others miss
10x recruiters doesn't work for a particular hiring manager/ org - they work for a mindset
10x recruiters measure their success differently
10x recruiters aren't a myth. They exist.
Before I forget.. here I am writing about a 10x recruiter .. meanwhile, I know there's a candidate out there reading this going:
I don’t need a 10x recruiter. I just need a 0.5 recruiter who doesn't ghost me.
A 0.25 recruiter who replies to emails
A 0.15 recruiter who can give me a straight answer
Or maybe just a 0.0001 recruiter who remembers I exist after I click apply
See the real problem now?
