Be personable and professional to use the time to build rapport. Have thoughtful, topical questions prepared that demonstrate your knowledge yet engage them in their expertise. Inquiring on what clients are asking about, what the day to day may be like, what brings them satisfaction from their job, and what the next steps/next people to talk to are have always been good questions IMO. Good luck! DM me if you want to talk more.

Hello! I’m a Talent Acquisition Manager at a 300 FTE sized gov contractor with 2 recruiters under me. One of my recruiters and I are both having babies in August and will be out for 12 weeks. She’s only coming back part time. My leadership already said no to hiring another full time recruiter. Has anyone had any good experience with contract recruiters? Or any advice for a short term solution?
