I'm really good and really enjoy coming up with detailed tailored angles for pitches to clients on the fly by virtue of information retention and associations made from mainly reading CV's, company websites and technical product sheets. Something niche or specific on short notice about that company, person, dept or technology that would seperate you from all the other recruitment calls that day because it was obvious you had done some homework first before you waded in there. However.... I really hate picking up the phone. Am i doomed for a career in recruitment? Is there such a job in recruitment as a kind of "ideas man" as part of a team, one comes up with better than average pitch ideas and the other doesn't have to think to hard and just present them?

Cletus, You are doomed! You have to pick up the phone if you want to be a recruiter. By the time you had created and researched your new-angled pitch someone else will have approached the company and gained thier business. Sorry but the phone is king in this business.
