Should you be rewarded if you recommend one of your trusted IT contractor colleague who is successfully hired for an assignment

WHAT DO YOU THINK? As the old saying goes, 'it's not what you know, it's who you know'. What's more important?


Personally, I think both are equally important, but your professional network can provide you with a significant advantage, promote your success & allow you to fulfil your potential.


As a job seeker, leveraging your professional network is certainly important. According to research, more than 80% of job vacancies are filled through professional network connections. 70% of vacancies are not published publicly. If you're not leveraging your network, you're waiting in an application queue & relying on probability for success. With recruiter success rates at 25%, 75% of their candidates are not successful...OUCH!


As a hiring manager, using your professional network to recruit enables you hire trusted resources quickly & efficiently, saving you time from reviewing an endless pile of resumes from unknown candidates. Saving time also saves cost, which is a high priority on corporate radars.


Are you leveraging your professional network successfully, or is this one of your professional blind spots that needs some attention? Talentology can help!
