Why Should I Work With A Recruiter?
Recruiters! There is an agency or specialist recruiter for every sector/industry possible – even recruitment for recruiters! (trust me, I did it for 5 years).
Why should you work with one though? I mean, aren’t they all just obnoxious salespeople? The outlook people have on the recruitment industry is not always positive but there are agencies and individual recruiters out there who truly care and are rockstars in their vertical markets. Let me shed some light on why working with a recruiter could benefit you as a candidate.
Recruiters have a lot of expertise
A lot of the time, an experienced recruiter will be an expert in their field and will be very well connected with businesses and individuals across their sector. They will have access to decision-makers and crucial details and pieces of information that an average job seeker would not.
It is those connections, details and information that not only allow a recruiter to advise you on what businesses best fit your requirements for your next career move but also give you access to those companies as well. A recruiters relationship with a direct hiring manager can fast-track your application ahead of direct applicants who may be applying to a HR team.
Recruiters are great negotiators
Recruiters are salespeople! (and not always obnoxious). We are here to negotiate the best possible realistic offer for you that fits in the clients budget. After all, the more you get – the more we do too. We are professionals at this and a lot of us have done it for years. We have market knowledge on salaries and will know where you will need to be at.
Recruiters can save you time
Spending hours scrolling through job boards? A recruiter will be able to provide you with a list of relevant options for you that suit your requirements meaning less time scrolling and more time applying! A recruiter will also be able to advise with any research and preparation for your interviews, again saving you hours researching online.
Recruiters can help you prep
Recruiters are experts in preparing candidates for interviews. We do it daily and often have in-depth knowledge of the interview process, questions asked and any tests/assignments you may be asked to do. We can use this information to help you best prepare for your interviews and ensure you have the highest chance of succeeding in your process.
Would you work with a recruiter to find your next position? An expert recruiter in your niche can expand your reach and open doors for you that you may not be able to alone.
