Strong outgoing sales like personality. This role is mostly a sales position over the phone, with varying degree's of research for the best candidates. EG: finding a Sr Director of Technology in the SEO space for a $10M firm in the Valley; sourcing other firms with similar technical stacks; headhunting other Directors; selling the company; selling the hiring manager on the candidate; hopefully magic occurs. But, many times its just X number of candidates results in X number of interviews and X number of offers. Some companies are more interested in volume, and some are more interested in placements (results) only.
