There are other reasons why a team structure is ideal. There is less reliance on one person. If you are a solo producer or an owner leading a few recruiters, watch for signs of a slump, but look beyond the surface for a deeper issue. If you are looking for a "pick me up" or to learn some new techniques then go to a motivational seminar, read a book or watch our recruiting training DVD's. However, if this issue resonates with you or anyone in your office, I recommend developing an appropriate long term system for practice and even organizational development. There are several models for structuring practices even in the same office. Only once you develop a system (that can evolve in time) will a practice or series of practices begin to look like a business.
Clearly we are not doctors, lawyers or even senior executive recruiters for the most part. Nor will most in our world ever want to create the same sized firms that exist in those professions. That does not mean however that we all don't want to grow and be challenged. The SINGLE biggest difference between our worlds is NOT PEOPLE as I believe the hardest working, talented and knowledgeable recruiters are in our space!!!! I believe that the single biggest difference is having a specific and proven career path that allows for increasing levels of responsibility and challenges at the rate that people desire and can handle.
