The Art of Zen Recruitment© and The Ultimate Recruitment Warrior

As recruiters, how many of us actually understand the true function in our position in the corporate battlefield known as recruitment? How many of us are properly prepared to take the challenge and make an impact in the process of success? As Shakespeare so eloquently wrote, “to take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing end them”, bottom line—it means results, results, results! Recruiters are often told that they are only as good as the last assignment. Hard judgement, high standards, yet recruitment is a professional career we choose. Recruitment is a unique industry that we serve and have great opportunity to excel within. In our work, we impact many professional lives on a daily basis, and at the same time provide so many personal opportunities to shine, for ourselves and those we recruit, by challenging ourselves to higher levels of accomplishment. Bottom line—it means success, success, success. That is the way of the ultimate recruitment warrior.

The Art of Zen Recruitment© is for the ultimate recruitment warrior to be a willing leader, having no fear of taking others along into the battlefield. Knowing that others also can excel to levels they have only imagined, and therefore have the opportunity to achieve success through accomplishments they may have thought impossible. By providing a greater sense of purpose, the ultimate recruitment warrior takes recruitment to it’s highest level. There is a ‘zone’ that can be reached. Our ultimate goal is to become one with that zone, for that is the essence of Zen.
