SpanishIf you’re in the market for a new job, you might have heard of job recruiters, but you may not have a clear idea of what they do. Yet job hunting the traditional way can be frustrating, as you send out resume after resume with no response. Here’s how a recruiter can help you find your next job.
Saving Time
An old-fashioned job hunt takes a lot of time and energy. You have to search for all the different job boards, tailor your resume for each position, write a winning cover letter, and send out the whole package. Meanwhile, you might be taking care of your family, attending school, or working. Where are you supposed to find the hours and stay motivated?
A recruiter’s primary job function is to match job seekers with open roles. They already know what positions are out there, and they focus on filling them full-time. This can save you a lot of time and headaches.
Expanding Your Network
You probably already know that networking is a vital job-hunting strategy, but your personal network is likely relatively small. Recruiters have built their networks over time, and they tend to be vast. Once you start working with a recruiter, that person’s network effectively becomes yours, making it far easier to match with the position that is truly right for you.
Accessing Opportunities
A significant percentage of jobs are filled before they ever reach a public job board. Recruiters have access to jobs that you would never be able to find working alone. This increases the total number of positions from which you can choose, boosting your chances of finding just the right fit.
If things don’t work out on the first try, your recruiter will keep you in his or her database. Using advanced applicant tracking systems, recruiters surface resumes from their databases when potential matches come along.
Receiving Up to the Minute Advice
From crafting your resume to negotiating your offer, recruiters know exactly what employers in your industry are looking for today. No more relying on web articles that could be outdated or tailored to a different field. When you look good, your recruiter looks good, so your recruiter will be with you every step of the way.
