Balancing urgent client requests and daily tasks in BPO: How can you effectively manage both?
Managing urgent client requests alongside daily tasks can be challenging, yet it's crucial to find the right balance. Responding to urgent client needs is not just about fixing a problem—it's about demonstrating to your client that you’re the go-to person who can solve issues when they arise. However, it's important to ensure your client understands that you're more than just a firefighter. You're a strategic partner, helping them navigate challenges and find sustainable solutions. This approach builds trust and positions you as an essential part of their success story. At the end of the day, the goal is to have clients come to you for all their needs, not just in times of crisis.

How do you deal with counteroffers and other competing offers for your candidates?
Declined offers are part of the job, but some cases are more dramatic than others. I once had a senior finance exec turn up on his first day with a personal cheque to cover three months' salary, opting out after signing his contract! As recruiters, we can't avoid declines entirely but can minimize them by guiding candidates to the right opportunities from the start. Understand their goals and motivations throughout the process. Ultimately, you can't change someone's mind as easily as you'd convince your own child or partner (and even that’s not guaranteed!). The key is to always have backup candidates for your clients. It's not just about filling a role; it's about finding the best fit and having a Plan B ready.

You're facing limited resources for a project. How do you ensure client expectations are managed effectively?
When faced with limited resources, it's crucial to manage client expectations and explore alternative solutions. At IBM, I managed an IT integration project with a constrained budget. Internal charges for technical services were too high, so I sought external vendors. This decision ensured we delivered the project on time and met client expectations. This taught me the importance of thinking outside the box and leveraging external resources to find innovative solutions that satisfy client needs and maintain project integrity.
