My Dad is a recruiter and i'm proud... a fable for all who's working and want a higher motivation in executive search, recruiting and staffing industry
I’m Maïté . I’m eleven now
My dad is a recruiter.
Today he closed a deal
so happy that he did.
He jumped for joy and rang the bell
and promptly called me.
"My son! I closed another one!
I'm so happy I could squeal!"
"That's great, dad," I replied,
"But what again is a deal?"
My dad paused right then
and realised that he'd never
Explained exactly what he did
All day, which seemed forever.
It seemed so long to me
All day away from my dad.
He'd never told me what he did
How the placements made him glad.
"My son," he said, "let's talk tonight
over dinner with your mother.
I'll tell you just what father does
to change the lives of others."
My dad spent that night
with us a great time.
He told us exciting tales
of happy recruiting fables.
"My friends will call me with a need,
a position that I must fill.
So I call some of my other friends
and many others until...
"I find a friend who seems to want
to work at other places.
So I get both my friends together
and hope for happy faces!
"I hope that they will also find
a new friendship with each other."
"I'm proud of you!" I said.
I'm glad that you're my father."
My dad hugged me
and I hugged him oh so tight.
He told me that
his words were such a delight.
He said as he fell asleep that night,
"You mean so much to me.
Your tender words are very dear
Much more than a big huge fee."
