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."
