Working at an executive staffing company has both its positives and negatives just like any job whether it be in recruiting and human resources or whether the particular job is entirely in a different industry and could be further from the day-to-day duties of employee working at an executive recruiting and job staffing company.

If you choose to take a job at a larger executive recruiting company or a publicly traded staffing solutions organization such as Heidrich, you are most likely either going to be doing sales to potential recruitment employers or the actual staffing and recruiting process which entails the headhunter going out and making cold calls to potential job seekers whose resume may be fit and who may be interested in the job that they have been hired to recruit for.

Regardless of whether you end up working for a large, small niche or giant executive recruiting company, my one piece of advice that you should adhere to is not to get in the recruiting solutions business for the money as there are big payouts and big commissions when it comes to successfully placing jobseekers within a corporate staffing environment. Though, just like anything else in life were just like any other job, if you do it for the money you're not going to be happy because you're never going to make that money and your and spend the rest of your career chasing it.

As an owner of a job search agency, I must tell you to follow your passion regardless of what is passion comes before money in everything from poetry to staffing and executive recruitment outsourced solutions organizations.

A career in staffing is very fun, just make sure you do your research on the job search industry, the economic turbulence that comes with job recruiting an executive outsource recruiting solutions and ensure that you like the corporate atmosphere of the company that you are going to be representing while recruiting job candidates or selling potential hiring companies staffing and outsourced human resources solutions from your executive recruitment firm.
