Recruiter Network: February Meeting Topic

HR Managers! CEOs! Owners! Sales VPs!
•Have you ever been burned by hiring a salesperson and having that person quit or get fired after a short time?
•Are you frustrated that you can hire all these great people in the company but don’t have the same results when it comes to salespeople?
•When it comes to hiring salespeople are all you are allowed to do is place the ad and screen resumes?
•Have you ever passed on a candidate to the sales manager you thought was good, and they came back to you and said the candidate was garbage?

IF any of the above sound like you, you NEED to attend the Recruiter Network meeting on Thursday, February 25th, 8:15 AM, at Kaplan College in Milwaukee, 111 W. Pleasant Street.

Sales people are a different breed and need to be interviewed and screened differently.
By attending, you will learn what makes salespeople different and how to hire them.

Bring your sales manager, sales VP, Owner , or CEO.

I bet you will walk out with some good information that will make you look at your systems and processes on how to hire salespeople in a different way.

Now for the jokes:


  • A man walks into a bar and says "ouch!"

  • When is a vet busiest? When it is raining cats and dogs!

What is The Recruiter Network?

If you are an HR Manager, HR VP, Recruiter, or benefit manager, there is a local networking group that is set up just for you and you peers, The Recruiter Network of Southeastern Wisconsin.
Our Mission:

The Recruiter Network is a diverse group of individuals from employers and workforce development organizations in Southeastern Wisconsin, which is organized around issues relating to the recruitment and retention of entry level, skilled, and professional level candidates.

We are an informal organization and make every effort to keep it simple and as much like a coffee klatch group as possible. It is expected that all members will periodically (as possible) host a meeting (with light refreshments) at their organization's facility, arranging for a presentation that is timely and addresses our mission statement. These responsibilities can be shared by several members. We have no dues. Individuals automatically become a member upon attending three meetings. Meeting topics are expected to be appropriate to the group's mission. We encourage networking among members, guests and presenters, but do not permit business solicitation. Meetings are on the fourth Thursday of each month. Notices with details for meetings are emailed approximately two weeks before each meeting.
