Talent Acquisitions Careers (Corporate vs Military Recruiting) with Herrick Ross - a podcast by Ryan Sweeney

Herrick shares his background, military transition into corporate recruiting and his current next transition (yes, you usually keep transitioning!)

1- Finding your Way
a- Don't need to be desperate, find what your passion is and go after it.
b- learn yourself, what you like and dislike
c- Ask yourself these 3 Questions:
i) Do you want to dress in a suit or casual?
ii) Do you want to be behind a desk or in front of one?
iii) Do you want to be part of team or work independently? 

2- Mil and Corp TA Differences:
a- Different Sales Pitch (not service to nation, but culture, brand, product, etc)
b- No walking the candidate through the process- quick interaction and hand-off to the next level
c- Not at recruiting center, out at static displays and back behind a computer
d- Need in-depth knowledge of products and positions

3- TA positions
a- coordinator
b- recruiter levels
c- sourcer 

4- Skills that translate
a- Ability to work cross functionally
b- Ability to brief up and down (to candidate and to executives)
c- Balanced in other areas throughout your career (you have done ops, been a leader, etc)
