Telephone, Internet, Computer, PDA and Training
Telephone
There are telephones (you know, those things that sit happily on desks), and then there are:
- Wireless phones
- Car chargers for wireless phones
- Telephone comfort pads
- Answering machines
- Telephone headsets
- Video phones
- Hearing/Visually Impaired Telephones
Would any of the above appeal to your particular giftee?
Next, let's look at the:
Internet
Recruiters use the Internet for sourcing, researching and communicating with necessary people (candidates, vendors, clients, etc.). Useful gifts in this venue might be:
- Paid access to Business LinkedIn
- Paid access to Hoovers
- Paid access to ZoomInfo
- Paid access to job boards like Monster.com
- Computer
- Notebook
- Online Membership to Industry Organizations
Keep in mind the above can be more than a weeee bit expensive...but it certainly would be super useful.
Next! Let's address:
Computer
Computers are the lifeblood of many a recruiter. True, there are those from the Old School who do their best work with a pen, paper and telephone, and more power to them! But if your potential recruiter giftee uses a computer, you can consider:
- Contact Management Software
- Office Productivity Software
- Memory Upgrades (if you know what computers they use)
- Carrying Case (if it's a laptop)
- 2007 Tax Software
- Read/Write CDROMs
One of the great advents of technology today is the ability to send/receive email, keep track of contacts and do all sorts of wonderful thingees when you're not at the office. These miracles are accomplished by:
PDAs
PDAs are "Personal Digital Assistants" and otherwise known as Really Cool Gadgets. You can read ebooks on PDAs, play games on PDAs, enjoy GPS with PDAs, work on notepad applications with PDAs, turn your PDA into an MP3 player and much more.
Things to consider in this realm of gifting include:
- HP Pocket PCs
- Sony Clies
- PDA software
- PDA batteries
- PDA holders
- PDA cables
- PDA cases
- PDA data link watches
Kinda cool, eh?
And finally, another neat unique gift to consider for recruiters is:
Recruiter Training
Recruiting is a contact sport...but like every skilled industry, it requires study and application.
There are lots and lots of recruiter training available out there that range from free to cost conscious to really really expensive (and worth every penny!). These include:
Well! The above gives you some ideas about tools that recruiters use in their jobs.
But what if you want to address the way recruiters are perceived by their clients, customers, candidates and more? Let's turn to Making The Right Impression now - you'll see what I mean.
'Course, if you were interested in, say, PDAs, consider these new discounts:
