Staying on Tasks in the IT Recruiting Industry

As we near the holidays, many of us IT recruiters Boston are straying away from tasks that are essential to our IT jobs and inadvertently having to work more hours without being as productive as you should.  Why do you think this may happen? It’s not that we are intentionally ignoring work tasks, it’s just that it’s sometimes difficult to differentiate which ones are essential to our IT recruiting jobs.

To combat this, we need to figure out what exactly is wasting our precious time.  Analyze the different tasks each of us go through during our workday and how much time we spend on them.  Next, we need to see which ones are contributing to a final project that will help the IT staffing company as a whole as well as ourselves.  If the tasks are not a priority for work, then we need to decrease the amount of time spent doing them and apply it to those tasks that are better.

Also try figuring out what tasks need to be done that aren’t being done to the fullest at the moment.  If you cannot seem to find any more projects, talk to your IT recruiting boss and see if there are any other things that need to be worked on. This will allow you to give yourself a better name and also increase the productivity at your IT staffing agency.

Finally, we need to start making to do lists of the most important tasks pertinent to our technical recruiting position at various IT recruiting agencies.  We shouldn’t have to wait for our boss to tell us that we’re not on track.  If we see that we’re not doing the appropriate tasks, focus on projects that use our skills.  Remember, creating tasks are critical to staying on top of to do’s.  However, the initiative has to come from each of us first.
