World-class recruiters prioritize, do you?

From ERExchange:

Strangely enough, when I attempt to demonstrate the importance of prioritization to most corporate recruiters, their reaction is immediate resistance. Perhaps this is because so many HR people have a "social worker mentality" which leads them to believe that it's important to treat everyone equally. Unfortunately, any attempt to treat all jobs and business units equally automatically limits the recruiter's ability to be successful. It not only hurts your own credibility and performance but also damages your organization's ability to prosper in the marketplace.
