What you should be getting from your recruiting resources is a good flow of good candidates – like a fireworks display that is timed perfectly. No one likes a big lull in the action.
Patience is also required, but it should be backed by data. Your recruiting networks and resources should be working for you and providing results, but you have to track them to be sure and be ready to change if necessary. Like fireworks, there’s usually a build up and then the show really begins.
