Executive Recruiter
Long considered the toughest job in sales, it is frequently the most rewarding. One of the biggest challenges to those who consider the lucrative career of a headhunter, is the fact that almost everyone works on a commission basis. In addition to the normative stresses this can impose on most salaried folks, is the necessity to always put the needs of clients and candidates ahead of your own. It is this unwavering commitment to upholding your fiduciary responsibilities that separates the pretenders from those who reach incredible heights of success. Orbital is uniquely qualified to train you in every functional aspect of Executive Recruitment – but you must bring the heart to press through and overcome every barrier thrown in your way. bill@cebak.net
