Hours can be longer than 8-5. Recruiting is a career and it doesn't stop when you punch out. But that's not Staffinders, that's just the nature of the position itself. Everyone needs to learn how to balance their careers and home lives for the sake of their own mental health! If not, you can expect a burn out. My advice for any recruiter out there: if you can, turn off your phone for a day. It will do you a world of good.
