The Two Oar Recruiter: Grow your recruiting business faster by treating sales and marketing as equals.

In The Two-Oar Recruiter, Steve Goldhaber reveals a simple truth most recruiters miss: you can’t build real momentum with sales effort alone. To move forward, to gain real control over your business, you need to balance selling with another force recruiters often ignore—marketing.Think of your career like rowing a boat. Sales is one oar.

If you row with both, you move forward—stronger, faster, farther.This book isn’t about working more hours or chasing every lead harder.
