The Recruitable Position
Introduction
Just because a company has an employment/position opportunity does not mean that it is a "recruitable one. Finding a great candidate for a good position in a firm is quite a bit different from having a "recruitable" opportunity.
Real recruitment of an excellent happily employed person to run the risk of changing jobs requires a very realistic idea of the kind of breadth and depth the position must have before such a candidate will consider it.
We hear it on a weekly basis: "Just go recruit one of my competitors." It is as though it was just that easy. Well, there is a difference between finding a good employee that is a job "seeker" and recruiting either a content candidate or one of the competitors. It is a delusion to think that just because a company has an opening, any competitor will come running.
The difference is that most of the positions companies have are NOT "recruitable" positions. Now, they are positions that can be filled by suitably experienced professionals. But most of the time they are not in the pure "recruitable" category.
