Currently an intern at a really small shop and I was asked by the MD (late 50s / early 60s) to help him out with the hiring of a new senior level guy (~10 years experience). Apparently because I'm currently job searching, he thinks I'd be good at pin-pointing resources / candidates. I've told him about my methods of job searching (i.e. networking, OCR, cold-calling), so he's officially intrigued and thinks I'm an expert.
I've told him to post on Ladders, reach out to local schools' career offices, and put something on LinkedIn - I don't think he likes those suggestions since he's repeatedly come back and asked me to help him find someone.
Does anybody have any suggestions as to how I could help him out, beyond what I mentioned above?
Sounds like he just wants you to go out and find candidates to bring in. Just do all the suggestions that you're giving him.
Is he opposed to HH?
i'm going to say yes since he's asking an intern to recruit for him
You're the gatekeeper/screener. I'd start hitting up the other MD's/VP's that you have been networking with and see if they have any good candidates. Helping out a senior person's friend is a ginormous brownie point.
When the fuck did interns get the gumption to think their MDs requests are "odd"?
