Frequently Asked Questions

With no universally required training, recruiters often feel lost and stranded, turning to Google or elsewhere for answers on basic questions such as “How do I leave a voicemail?” “How do I talk to my Hiring Manager?” “What does it take to be a good recruiter?” Within the RCP we work to address every common issue recruiters may face, from the basics of becoming a great recruiter to the intricacies of metrics, sourcing, and candidate interaction, and everything in between. With years of recruiting expertise, our trained experts know first-hand what techniques to address, what works and what to avoid, and how to effectively teach recruiters each and every aspect of full talent acquisition functionality. Our goal is to assure RCP-trained recruiters they have what it takes to recruit the right way, equipping them with the knowledge and resources necessary to feel completely prepared to hit the ground running.
