Reality TV

I know that I’m not the first to have the idea, but I think a Recruiter Reality TV Show would be great!

Our industry is similar to many of the big reality shows already…

It’s kind of like Survivor… Trying to find great candidates and match them up with opportunities that fit their needs is kind of like digging in the sand for a bag of puzzle pieces and then having to put it all together before the other tribe can…

It’s kind of like American Idol… Sifting through vast crowds of semi-talented (and hugely deluded) candidates to find those few that really have what it takes. We even have our own Paulas (the recruiters that like everyone) and Simons (the ones that are really picky). And although I’ve never actually called anyone a Bush Baby, but I’ve been known to use “Freak show” as a proper noun.

It’s kind of like Bachelor… We provide our client (our Bachelor) with a pool of talent to choose from, and they pick the one they like best

And of course it’s part definitely part Apprentice… Our candidates have to be able to do the job… although we don’t usually make them live in tents if they fail, but that could be fun!

So what could we call this show? Maybe… Headhunter Idol?

And then when it comes down to salary there is that game show aspect. Deal or no deal anyone?

Or Job or No Job. On the Survivor takeoff you could make them live in a cardboard box or under an overpass if things don't work out. Then they get to check out America's social services! Good luck!
