Dear Recruiter, Thank You For…

Ask recruiters what they do and most likely the answer you will get is that they bring in great talent to their company.

But recruiters like you do so much more than simply finding talent. You help people fall back in love with their careers, you bring a smile to their face and renewed daily motivation to excel, you set up teams or even the whole business for success. In short, you transform careers and lives. Not bad for a day’s work.

What you don’t get to do very often though is hear about the great impact of your work. Everybody is busy and frequently neither you nor the candidates have time to reflect on the transformational nature of your hire.

This ends here.

We reached out to hiring managers and recently hired professionals and asked: “If you could say, ‘Thank You’ to the recruiter who assisted you, what would you say?”

The answers were truly eye-opening and we selected five of these heartfelt stories that give you the recognition you deserve. Here we go:

1. Intern-turned-employee Katy shares how a recruiter helped her overcome career fears and doubts.
