re: What makes someone a good recruiter?

I've never followed recruiting so I don't really understand what makes you good at recruiting. Is it growing up in an area and knowing the local highschools? Or is it having a personality that recruits like and get along with?

All of the above imo.

First its identifying the talent.
Second its identifying the real decision maker/influence. For some its themselves for some its their mom for others its the high school coach.

For 1 and 2 thats where growing up and knowing the area come in. Old friends who are high school coaches will call and clue them in on some below the radar kid. Also having a similar background gives you knowledge of who the decision maker will be.

Third its work your arse off.
