“Recruiter’s Dictionary” Mugs

In-House Recruiter n.Specialised variety of HR Professional engaged

in the endless and at times infuriating hunt for

talent on behalf of a single company or group.

Often, a reformed agency recruiter who has

acknowledged the error of their ways and has

embarked on the path to recruitment

righteousness. Expert at forwarding CVs,

insulting agencies, tweeting nonsense and pulling

rare candidates out of a secret repository of

‘unicorns’ at the drop of a hiring manager’s hat.
