Make a phone call

TIPS
Say who you are and what you want. Start saying…
1. Hi. My name is XXXXX. I'm an executive/technical recruiter calling from XXXX Company. Is this a good time to talk?
Describe the client's requirement.
Review your questions to make sure that the questions are job-related.
Come up with your questions to verify the tech. caliber of the consultant with the requirement you have on your hand and make sure you clarify all the points always good to have a list of things to be done before making a call. On a paper.
Listen to the voice. Lack of confidence in the tone of the voice may be a sign of lack of self-confidence.
Don't mistake quantity for quality. Just because a candidate has 5 years of experience doesn't mean that they're necessarily qualified for the job you're trying to fill. Explore the depth and breadth of that experience.
Don't accept everything that a candidate says at face value. For example, if the candidate says they would use progressive discipline, ask the candidates, "What is progressive discipline?".
Get the information like expected salary, RTR & availability also find out the candidate Visa Status because some times our client/vendor might insist on GC holders/US Citizens.
If the consultant is a H1 holder, get his/her employer information so that the rate negotiation can be done with the employer.
Also make sure that you have briefed him/her about the client.
At the end of the conversation make sure you leave a positive impact with the consultant so that you can get back to him/her in future.
Now while making a submission to the Sales Person, make sure you furnish all the necessary info. Details about the consultant.
