DO I REALLY NEED A RECRUITER?
The quick response is "yes"! Here
are a few causes for this:
GET TO A BETTER
STOCK OF OPPORTUNITIES
It's possible that you already
have a network of contacts in your particular industry
who might help you get work. I love that! The contacts
of a recruiter, when combined with your own, can be
quite beneficial. They have contacts at businesses that
you wouldn't be able to find if you were only using your
network and job listings. When you apply for a job
directly with a company, your resume and cover letter
are the only things that will represent you to the
hiring manager. A recruiter is someone who will speak
out for you. They are able to give you extra context
about your experience and skills because to their
connections with hiring managers and other business
contacts. They can also give you a closer look at the
inner workings of their client's environment.
SAVE TIME AND ENERGY
Finding a new job can take a lot of time between updating your
resume, looking for job posts, applying, and seeking to schedule
interviews. You should make the most of the time you do have to
seek for a new job if you are wanting to change careers while
working a full-time job already. A recruiter may carry out the
following tasks on your behalf:
|
|
 |
Check your skill set. |
|
|
give you a selection of well handpicked career
possibilities |
|
|
organize and get you ready for
forthcoming interviews |
|
|
Negotiate pay and employment terms. |
|
|
Examine the benefits offered. |
|
Good
recruiters will pay close attention to these details and
make sure you have as much information as you can. |
YOU STAY IN THEIR DATABASE
Don't worry if you don't get the first job; they'll keep your
information in their database. To find applicants more quickly,
most recruiters employ specialized software and applicant
monitoring systems. Your resume can be immediately located when
they get fresh job openings from companies, making it simple for
the recruiter to get in touch with you. You could also be able
to sign up for emails from the recruiter's company with fresh
job alerts, or they might offer a mobile app with up-to-date job
listings. Enjoy these and use them! You can easily find new
positions by signing up for job alerts, and you may proactively
ask your recruiter for more information about the role. If you
decide to apply for a position, be sure to tell your recruiter!
FIND AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR YOUR SPECIALIZED SKILLS
You might possess highly specialized skills that call for a high
level of knowledge. For instance, as technology advances,
certain businesses, including engineering, accounting, and
finance, are rapidly becoming more specialized.
Professional recruiters will collaborate closely with hiring
managers to gain a thorough understanding of not just the job
opening's requirements but also the team dynamics, ongoing
projects, and particular qualities they are looking for in a new
hire. They'll have access to inside knowledge that isn't
normally disclosed in job descriptions or on the corporate
website. Before they represent you for the position, they'll be
able to determine how your particular abilities match the
requirements of the business to make sure you both think it's a
good employment match.
Your unique abilities will be described in-depth to the hiring
firm by a recruiter who is familiar with them, giving you an
advantage over other candidates.
WHAT SHOULD I ASK WHEN
SELECTING A RECRUITER?
To determine if a job recruiter is a good fit for you, ask them
a few questions when you meet with them. When considering
possible employment prospects, you want to collaborate with
someone who genuinely has your best interests in mind. You might
inquire about the following:
