How job seekers can benefit from a good recruiter
Looking for a job? Feeling a bit lost or like it’s not going anywhere?
You could benefit from working with a recruiter.
It’s true that recruiters don’t always have a great reputation. But having a good relationship with the right recruiter can be a real asset to your job search.
Watch this video where Emma talks about some of the main benefits you should expect, or read on below.
You want to have a relationship based on trust. You should be able to have honest conversations about your motivators, and any changes you want to see in your career. Then a good recruiter can help you find the right career path, and the types of role that will work for you.
Recruiters have a good understanding of what the industry norms are. Which means they should be able and willing to talk about salary benchmarking.
Another important area in which recruiters can assist you is with interview prep. This process includes your competencies and understanding what’s required for the role.
Lot’s of recruiters have been known to not share specific business names. But this approach makes it difficult for the professional to prepare and make informed decisions. If your recruiter doesn’t trust you enough to share that information, you potentially haven’t got the relationship you deserve.
