Understand what’s driving your “wants”

Step one – ask yourself…

My challenge to you
• Your “needs” should be clear, but can you honestly say you’ve nailed that level?
• Your “wants” maybe less specific, maybe harder to achieve, but ensure they’re:– Set out - & everyone’s aware of where they sit
– Clear on what’s deliverable
– Regularly monitored & reviewed

My challenge to you right now
• Confess your insecurities (in a corporate recruitment sense)
• Is there anything you might really want to know?This is what today is about - ask your peers. Ask them NOW!
• Talk openly about RECRUITMENT porn experiences
– What have you tried that was disappointing / not for you?
– What was actually brilliant & you think others should “dabble in”?
– What do you fantasize about? (in a RECRUITMENT sense!!)
