I received an email from a technical recruiter a few weeks ago asking not if I was interested in a position, but how she could better communicate with senior-level talent. The email spoke to me, so in the interest of helping good, well-meaning recruiters, I’ve decided to answer the email by way of a public blog post, in the hopes that my answers to this particular recruiter will help others (both on the talent management and development sides) build stronger relationships and find better placements.
