[joyuntochandr656]

Now I’ve previously warned you about targeting small companies and startups. But...If you happen to know of a small company that is using recruiters or has a budget for recruitment, you’ll have a few options. First we'll cover the top 3 most effective prospects to hit and then explain where your other opportunities lie.


The Top 3 Prospects In Startups and Small Companies

1) The Chief Executive Officer
The CEO is always a #1 target because they will always have the power to say yes albania phone number list and sign a contract. They won’t need to ask permission to anyone to make the decision to work with you. Also, a CEO at a small company is usually young or doing this for the first time. Typically a startup CEO is much more open to a conversation than you would think. Don’t let the CEO title scare you. In many cases CEO can stand for, "I started a company, got funding and don’t know wtf I’m doing, so please teach me about recruitment because I didn’t even know I could outsource that."


2) The Founders and Co-Founders
When you’re targeting a Co-Founder you’re just a bit off from reaching the decision maker. A Co-Founder can make a powerful decision but it’s sort of like dealing with a husband and wife team. They usually need to talk things over and discuss your offering with other founders and team members. It’s not a bad option it’s just not the best option unless it's your only option.
