The saying “Stay true to the game” pops up all the time. It’s been around in sports and pop culture for ages. Basketball especially! (Side note: who do you have winning tonight?) Anyway, I feel like I keep hearing it more and more.
“The game” stands for your thing, whether it’s sales, accounting, basketball, you name it. For me, it’s recruiting. Whether third-party, corporate, or RPO, we’re all in the same boat.
Being true to recruiting is kind of subjective. What does it even mean?
If you zoom out from recruiting and think about staying true to something you’re passionate about, how do you do it? How do you make sure it’s a priority? What do you do to show you’re committed?
This way of thinking sets the stage for understanding what it means to stay true to recruiting.
Recruiting is my thing. To keep it real, I stick to a few key things:
- I soak up as much recruitment info as I can.
- I connect with top-notch recruiters.
- I swap stories and tips with fellow recruiters.
- I’m always looking for ways to improve my skills.
- I know that staying loyal to recruiting is a choice I make.
Staying true to recruiting means always aiming higher, personally and professionally.
Sure, it’s not always easy, but it’s about staying true to the game.
So, here’s the deal this Monday. Share what your thing is in the comments below. Then, let us know how you’re staying true to it this week. Go for it.
