In the modern world, finding your dream job can be a daunting task.
But with an experienced recruiter, you not only have access to multiple job opportunities (some not currently open on the market), but the advice and support they can offer.
In this newsletter, we share with you the top 5 ways recruiters will improve your job search:
- More opportunities: Recruiters have access to more job opportunities than just those on the job boards. Their connections and relationships can open doors to companies not actively hiring, or roles that aren’t quite live yet.
- Stronger application: One of the most important parts of your job search is your initial application. Your CV is your first impression and is what will get you that all important interview. An experienced recruiter will review your CV and give tips on how to improve your application. This means you can submit a CV that showcases your skills so the company will select you.
- Your interview: Your interview is the key to landing the job. A recruiter can provide you with all the guidance and support you need to ace the interview. They will know the client and role in far greater detail than simply a job advert – this means you’ll be told the ins and outs of the role, and exactly what the company is looking for. At Mexa, we’ve also produced guides for interview techniques to help you prepare – get in touch if you’d like to know more.
- Maintaining momentum: Recruitment consultancies, like ourselves, understand how time is crucial when looking for a new job. As recruiters have established relationships with companies and hiring managers, they can do all the chasing for you, to make sure your job search doesn’t lose momentum. That includes chasing for CV feedback, interviews and if any offer is coming your way.
- Negotiating: Today, with the sudden increase of inflation it can be very hard negotiate the salary that you deserve. However, a recruiter will do the painful bit for you – making sure you get the pay you want without putting pressure on any future relationships you’re forming.
So when you’re preparing to look for a new opportunity, make sure you get in contact with a recruiter who’s an expert in your industry. This way, you can explore all avenues of your job search, and make sure there are no missed opportunities!
