candidates : rich private jet owners :: recruiter : varsano

ok, so basically steve varsano is living every recruiters' dream. read this and couldn't believe how similar his job is to recruiting...or at least how recruiting SHOULD be. he pretty much sells private jets to the richest people in the world and knows the entire community inside-out. he knows to message current jet owners when it's time to upgrade. he knows when someone is willing to splurge for the newest model and he's mapped out potential future buyers. 

reminded me of how i TRY to be. we should know the market, map it out. we should know who is ready for a new job when and the appropriate times to reach out to people who have been in boring jobs for JUST the right amount of time. varsano's market is obviously a lot smaller and more high touch but still, reminded me a lot of tech recruiting and this market, which is relatively high touch...at least compared to more general sales and non-tech recruiting.
