When a recruiter says they know what you do, how do they really understand what you do if they haven’t done it themselves or worked in the industry?
Don’t be fooled when a recruiter says they are the best and most experienced in the business. Don’t be fooled when they say they understand your products, applications, and go-to-market strategies. This isn’t about buzzwords.
Ask them a simple question- have you ever worked in actual distribution at the branch level and experienced even one day of what a distributor does? How can a recruiter understand what you do if they haven’t experienced it themselves or been around the industry, attending conferences and industry-wide forums and knowing the issues you face daily? Have they done a takeoff for a construction project? Have they programmed a PLC? Have they serviced a contractor at the counter? Have they dealt with supply chain issues? Have they walked the plant floor or done a cribcrawl or talked to multiple levels of executives at the customer like yourself?
