One of the best headhunters I ever worked with had been a programmer before he found his way into the world of recruiting. That was back in the 1980s and I have no idea what became of him but I wish that he could be cloned.

I'm sure that if I'm successful, it will do wonders to my social ability... Any thoughts anyone? How does one get started with this? Just talk to recruiters?
- scarface74 9y agoI don't see any possible way that you can do recruiting as a side gig. The good recruiters I know are all about building relationships on both sides -- companies and potential employees. I've met some for lunch or in their office. They go out to meet with their clients -- the prospective hiring manager. And recruiting is all about the long game. You may keep in touch with someone for years before you have the right opportunity at the right time for them.
- Risord 9y agoOn the other hand is this recruiting work all about being lonely wolf? I could imagine that as programmer & side gig you could work for recruiter(s). Prepare to convince why your skill is important not just their customer but themselves and go talk to them. I have no idea is this a good idea but nothing bad shouldn't happen if you try.
