Slow Moving Clients

Nothing is more frustrating in this industry than a client that is slow to act. If you are anything like me the first person you want to blame for the lack of action is the client. However if you take a step back and really look at the situation ask yourself did I do any of the following?

Did I find out if the person I am working with is truly the decision maker?

Are you going through HR instead of dealing directly with the manager?

Did you educate the client on the current market conditions?

Did you get any commitment from the client to interview in a timely manner?

Do you know if the position is a priority?

If you are not getting this questions answered up front or if you have to deal with HR first on an open position you are going to be in for a frustrating time. So remember take the time to get early commitments and you will reduce the amount of no commitments from your clients.
