I love being a recruiter.
Seriously, I think it’s the best job in the world.Yet 80% of people who enter this industry, fail in the first 2 years, leave, and are never sighted again.And it’s true, it is tough being a recruiter. And I believe in the modern era it’s getting even harder. During the downturn it got even worse. We all worked harder and harder, and earned less and less.On top of that, our customers seem to resent us more than ever.

Stress at work is dangerous. Seriously. I believe it leads to medical issues, and it certainly will harm your relationships and overall quality of life.
And that is bad for us recruiters because we do one of the toughest jobs around. The ‘all or nothing’ nature of what we do is designed to induce stress, it seems.
