Emotional intelligence is more than nice to have. It’s how great partnerships begin and grow. Well said, Charlie 👏 Recruitment is a competitive environment. It's fast-paced, challenging, and ever-evolving, but how you show up as people is everything.
Emotional intelligence isn’t fluff. It’s a commercial advantage. Pausing before pushing. Listening before speaking. Asking before assuming. People in sales are often pressured to ignore these instincts. Yet, so often, if you demonstrate the ability to behave appropriately once you have a foot in the door - it's the reason people want to work with you again. In my experience, high emotional intelligence is the foundation of a commercially beneficial relationship that will stand the test of time.
