In a short video, performance coach Todd Herman recently provided some advice every recruiter and hiring manager needs to hear. In business, many people seek out the activities that they like to do, or they feel fit their strengths. By doing this, they put themselves into a little bucket and say, “I’m only meant to do certain types of things.” While there’s some value in focusing on your strengths, the business environment is too messy to operate entirely from this perspective. Many people who have achieved phenomenal results in their lives do many things they don’t enjoy. They embrace all the minutiae and consistently do the boring things that need to be done in order to be successful. For most recruiters and hiring managers, recruiting is a complex, end-to-end process containing a bunch of the individual tasks you’re not going to enjoy. Those who push through those tasks not only find success, but also find more satisfaction in the parts of the recruiting process they do enjoy. Recruiting is about winning. It’s not finding fulfillment in every step of the process on the way to that victory.
