As we’ve mentioned before in previous blog posts, there are two types of recruitment training courses:
- Those for individual recruiters who are part of an agency
- Those for agency owners, including those agency owners who also work a desk
Whereas an owner can benefit from recruitment training courses of every type, such is not the case for individual recruiters who are not owners. That’s because if they’re not owners, then they won’t be interested in (nor benefit from) recruitment training courses for managers and agency owners.
So that begs this question: can you be a recruiting manager, but not necessarily an agency owner? The answer to that question is “Yes,” but that type of scenario usually involves larger recruiting agencies or firms. In that scenario, there would be an agency owner (or owners), multiple managers, and then individual recruiters under those managers. But even in this scenario, it’s still true that if a recruiter is not an agency owner (or manager), then they won’t benefit from recruitment training courses for managers and agency owners.
Just like individual training helps recruiters become better recruiters, recruitment manager courses help recruitment managers become better managers. The only thing that changes are the topics that are discussed during these courses. The goal, of course, is more billings, more revenue, and more profit. When a manager or owner becomes better at what they do, it translates into more of these things, just as when a recruiter becomes a better recruiter. It’s a simple equation: better = more.
The good news is that Top Echelon offers recruitment training for managers and owners as part of its Recruiter Coaching Series of free webinars. These courses possess the important dual characteristics of being both online and free.

“The Total Account Executive – How to Find, Hire, Train and Retain Them” by Bob Marshall
For as long as I have been in the recruitment business (going on 39 years now), one of the most asked questions revolves around how to identify potential ‘big billers’ when we first meet them as raw, talented but unpolished gems. What do they look like and what do they sound like? What traits do they have that will serve them well as recruiters? And, just as important, what traits do they have that will cause them to fail as recruiters? —a big concern since we plan to put so much time, energy and money into their development. At the end of the day, how do we locate these future superstars, develop them and keep them!
This presentation will be in four parts:
Part 1: Vectoring in on the ‘ideal’ AE profile by illuminating the qualities they possess.
Part 2: Explaining to this potential superstar what big billing AEs do for a living. I will compare the AE to a doctor, explaining how they are similar in so many ways. Next comes the definition of The Total Account Executive and the power of commitment.
Part 3: Training focused on the thirteen ‘motivational paths’ and how to acquire the ‘right attitude’.
Part 4: Retaining these Total Account Executives by implementing the techniques of the ‘zero turnover’ big biller managers. I will discuss general motivation theory; the direct commission curve; and secondary motivators. Some of the other techniques will include: AE-conducted morning meetings, Total AE special membership clubs; monthly awards and team closing theory.
