With so many recruiters to choose from, it is vital that
you consider your options carefully before making your
choice. Fortunately, the most effective recruiters are
easily identifiable by the distinctive features and
benefits they offer.
Specialists:
You should select an experienced recruiter who
specializes in your designated field and who has an
extensive and well-established network of client
companies. A recruiter who appreciates your unique
requirements and who is conversant with those of
corresponding employers will be ideally placed to find
you the right job and guide you through the process of
securing it.
Company Information:
The best recruiters will be able to provide you with
valuable information about the company and the specific
position you want, for example, the salary and benefits
package on offer; the working environment; the company
ethos; and the management’s personal preferences. They
also know which companies are best to work for and which
are best avoided.
Salary Negotiations:
An experienced recruiter will have the knowledge and
skills to help you negotiate the kind of salary and
benefits package you want.
Bespoke Service:
A recruiter who operates a personalised, bespoke service
will analyse your skills, qualifications and experience;
consider your desired position and salary expectations;
and give you a realistic idea of your chances of
securing the position you want. By matching your skills
and expressed preferences with the client’s hiring
requirements, they will ensure that you only go to
precisely targeted interviews.
Chemistry:
Remember too the importance of personal chemistry. Your
chosen recruiter should be someone with whom you enjoy
working; someone you can trust; and someone who speaks
your language.
Hidden Opportunities:
If you submit your CV or resume to a company on your
own, it often becomes one of hundreds clamouring for the
employer’s attention. A good recruiter, on the other
hand, has the necessary contacts to arrange an interview
for you at your chosen company. Moreover, since there
are always many more jobs available than appear in
advertisements, it is vital to secure the services of a
recruiter who has inside knowledge of non-advertised
positions in your industry or discipline.
Database:
To maximize your chances of landing the job you want,
you should choose a recruiter who can offer both a
personalised consultative service and a database
facility with national or even global access.
Network of Offices:
A recruiter who is supported by an extensive network of
offices will have up-to-the-minute knowledge of the most
comprehensive range of available opportunities.
Interactive Website:
In today’s fast-moving technological environment, it is
easy to spot the recruiter who is really intent on
providing a premium quality, customer-driven service.
Make sure to choose a company with a dynamic website
containing structured advice for jobseekers. If they
also offer to provide you with a regular informative
newsletter, you can rest assured that they have your
best interests at heart.
