Why Use A Recruiter
Running your own job search requires a lot of time. Plus, selling yourself is difficult for many people. When you use a recruiter, you have someone marketing you for you, without any cost or effort on your part other than providing some basic information about your skills, experience and preferences. A good recruiter can help you:
- Find a job at no cost
- Save time
- Screen opportunities for you so you find the right job faster and easier
- Protect your anonymity
- Contact employers to find more opportunities for you
- Locate opportunities that are never advertised and that you may never find on your own
- Schedule interviews for you as well as make any necessary travel arrangements
- Help you negotiate a higher salary and better benefits
Working with a recruiter helps you avoid these costly career mistakes!
Ten costly mistakes candidates make
- Not listening to opportunities presented by a recruiter
- Not having a resume that reflects their accomplishments/skills
- Not working with a recruiter as a partner and using their knowledge/input
- Not selling themselves
- Not asking for the job
- Not looking at the big picture in terms of opportunity vs money vs location
- Setting unrealistic salary expectations
- Taking a counter offer
- Changing jobs too often or not often enough
- Making decisions based on fear of change
