Having a few partners on hand that can help you with tough assignments or in busy times is key to maximizing productivity. Start by contacting other recruiters that contribute to your community in similar manners. Also compile a short list of reputable firms that network in fields closely related to your own. The job orders you receive that fall outside of your specialty and typically get left untouched can be forwarded to an associate. It's only a matter of time before you experience the reverse.
Consistency is the key to establishing an effective online presence.
Rotate your online networking tasks into your weekly schedule in order to keep your contributions in the forefront of the information shuffle. Make it easy on yourself by organizing bookmarks for the resources you compile. Develop categorized email lists of the contacts you generate for timely access. Don't dismiss these tasks because you're too busy.
