If you meet 50 people at a party, church or work function, how many of their names will you remember in a month? Six months? In one year? Now use the same timeframes, but make it how much of their personal history will you recall? The answer is probably not much.
Recruiters will generally meet several hundred people a year. That’s why they have databases. So when they get a search, the first step is to search their database.
So even if you really had a great meeting with the recruiter, the better way to get your name into the search results is to have a very complete resume that provides company name, industry type, position titles, functions overseen, etc. – all the items that a search might be conducted on for the position you seek.
