"If I were running a company today, I would have one priority above all others: to acquire as many of the best people as I could. I'd put off everything else to fill my bus. Because things are going to come back. My flywheel is going to start to turn. And the single biggest constraint on the success of my organization is the ability to get and hang on to enough of the right people."
Jim Collins, Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap...And Others Don't
This quote is a reminder to corporations worldwide that even in a downturn, there lies incredible opportunity to get access to the people who will be the future of your organization. These people are still not sending their resumes to you directly, they are having discreet conversations with executive recruiters who are market specialists. The trigger just happens to be either a recruiter who calls a hiring manager with a candidate that has an interesting background or someone within an organization who communicates to the market maker in the recruiting business, in a specific industry, that you are interested in top talent and top grading.
