Is It OK To Sleep With Clients?

Is It OK To Sleep With Clients?

The simple answer is YES! In fact, I sleep with my clients every single night. I am incredibly dedicated to my job, and taking them to bed is just one of the many ways in which I keep them happy and coming back for more....!

OK so now I have your attention, I have a little confession.... Yes, I do take my clients to bed every night but, fortunately for my career, it is only ever in my mind. I am, in fact, thinking about my clients 24/7, for as long as they are a client of iCredo Digital. Now that I have managed to drag your dirty minds back out of the gutter, let me explain exactly why.....

As a specialist recruiter, it’s absolutely vital that I know my stuff. It isn’t enough to just be good at finding jobs and sending people to interviews.

A) that is yawn and

B) if you’re not right for the role, then the employer gets mad we sent you and you get disillusioned with us.

So, instead we get to know our clients, both the candidates and the employers. We like to understand exactly what you do, how you do it and what your ambitions are. We build up a picture of you in our minds and figure out exactly what is a best fit. We speak to the companies we supply candidates to as well, and find out what kind of character is the perfect fit, not just what skills.

Effectively we develop relationships. Yes, a scary word. We begin to care about you as an individual and devote ourselves to helping you as best we can. Yes, this is a job, but I am someone who finds it difficult to just turn those emotions off. If we have a relationship, then we have it outside of 9-5. It’s obviously a professional relationship, but that doesn’t stop me thinking about exactly what I can do to help you right up until I fall asleep, all through the night, and then again over my cup of Tea and Chocolate Hobnobs when I wake up.

So, just to clarify (just in case my boss reads this) do I sleep with my clients? In my mind, yes I do. I even promise that they’ll never be any messy breakups afterwards either!
