Here's how you can handle client expectations regarding deadlines.
In recruiting, managing client expectations around deadlines is crucial for maintaining a professional relationship and ensuring successful placements. When clients come to you with a need for talent, they often have a timeline in mind. It's your job to understand their urgency and set realistic expectations from the outset. This means being upfront about the recruiting process, the challenges you might face, and the time it typically takes to find the right candidate. By communicating clearly and often, you can align your deadline with their expectations and avoid any misunderstandings down the line.
