Hugh Gallagher of the Gallagher Search Group advocates businesses should structure and manage their recruiting function like they would a sales team. Staff recruiting with go getters who are high performers, incentivize them like you would your sales people, and watch the talent roll in. Hugh looks at recruiting as a production function not a support role. He makes a compelling case for changing how you do recruiting. He doesn't believe that recruiting should always be under HR. Consider putting it in the line organization. Hugh leaves us with the key steps to implement a production driven recruiting function.
