How can recruiters help you find your dream job?

We are your voice; What does that mean? Recruiters or Head Hunters have established business relationships with hiring managers. We speak directly with them and we speak about a candidate's career and educational accomplishments. We support why you may be the perfect candidate.

I always recommend that 30% of your network be recruiters. And, that you not only treat them respectfully but you do everything you can to help them. From referrals to sharing their job openings. And, here's why: There is an entire "career services" industry out there selling magic and pixie dust. Legions of people who have never been on the other side of the desk in the hiring process. Recruiters live on that other side. Having a "Board of Advisors" who are recruiters is invaluable. They can tell you if your resume works. If your Linkedin profile reflects your worth. If your aspirations are realistic. But, they do not "find" you a job. They can support you in your career.

Recruiter's don't find people jobs. We are given reqs to fill by companies and then they find people that fit well for those job openings. Sometimes I would find someone who was not interested in the role but they would pass on referrals of people who would be interested. Ultimately recruiters even agency recruiters are paid by companies and companies are looking for those openings to be filled. I've given job advice for free sometimes when I can but I don't do it on the regular because I don't have time. I think there's a misconception that many people think recruiters find people jobs. We don't we find people for job openings at companies that employ us.

They know the industry. They can highlight your skills as per what is required. They know what is the most suited to your profile. Recruiters are career consultants, I am an agency recruiter and my candidates exclusively work with me for domestic and international opportunities. I have consulted a number of peeps in the right direction, and I voice for the other recruiters too. We hear we understand and we place. Its not only a phone call we do. Recruiters manage candidates as well as the hiring managers expectations, which definitely plays a vital role for the job seeker and the company.

While this is very true, it is also true that many organizations now have taken their recruiting in house and reply on headhunters less and less. If you are looking for your next opportunity, it's important you advocate for yourself. It's important you build out and use your network. If you are fortunate enough to engage a coach to assist you with your job search, lean on that coach for her expertise in using your network and perhaps even making introductions. Take the reins of your career. Steer your own ship!

Keep in mind that it is your JOB to find yourself your dream job not of the recruiter. The brutal truth often is that the priority for the most of recruiters is not to find you your dream job, but to find a dream candidate for their client. At the same time the recruiters hold important information regarding industry hiring trends, salary ranges etc. So building relationships with them is really important.

Targeted Consultation: Through personalized consultations, recruiters can better understand your career goals and values, helping you identify your passions and interests in relation to potential career opportunities. Career Development: Collaborating with a recruiter can provide you with valuable insights and advice on career development based on your professional experiences and emotional insights, as well as your passion and sense of purpose in life. By leveraging the expertise and network of a recruiter, you can enhance your chances of finding your dream job, one that not only considers your professional experiences but also your passion and sense of purpose in life.

Yes, recruiters can help you find a job that best matches your skills and strengths, but in order for that to be a "dream job," it also needs to fuel your passions and inspire your purpose. So, before you use the services of a recruiter, make sure that the skills and strengths you ask them to leverage on your behalf are ones that provide you with joy, meaning, and fulfillment. Otherwise, you will not find happiness at work. Just because you are good at doing something doesn't mean you will love doing it. Here's a quick and easy way to figure this out: 1. on a sheet of paper, list all the things you excel at doing. 2. then circle only those things you enjoy doing. 3. tell your recruiter only about those things you enjoy doing at work.

Recruiters do NOT help you find your dream job. YOU as a jobseeker should be applying to opportunities that might be YOUR dream. The recruiter within your dream organization might see your application a reach out to assist you through the process. Again, recruiters work for the EMPLOYER not the jobseeker.

You do not find the recruiters...they find you via job applications, LinkedIn Recruiter or any other sourcing method for the roles they are trying to fill. The myth that you can find a recruiter that will help you get a job needs to stop!

When it comes to recruiters, there's a whole bunch of types, like generalists, specialists, or even headhunters. And we're not just floating around randomly – we've got niches, focusing on different industries, sectors, or levels of seniority. So, how do you find the perfect match for you? You can do some sleuthing online, tap into your network for referrals, or hit up networking events and career fairs. Don't forget to put yourself out there – create an awesome profile on platforms like LinkedIn, Indeed, or Monster, and let us know you're ready for new adventures. That way, recruiters can spot you in the crowd and slide into your DMs with seriously tempting offers!

The brutal truth often is that the priority for the most of recruiters is not to find you your dream job, but to find a dream candidate for their client. That doesn’t mean that you should not work on building relationships with recruiters, on the contrary. Those relationships are key ?? in developing your career. So put effort in building long lasting relationships. At the same time do not have unrealistic expectations that they are the ones to find you your dream job. I often say to my clients that if you are serious about your career you need at least the following 3 in your team: coach, mentor and recruiter.

1) Be clear with them! A recruiter can't help you if you don't help them. If a candidate doesn't tell their recruiter that they only want a certain industry, then that recruiter will send you all sorts of opportunities outside of that industry. 2) Be polite. Usually, there isn't only one person that's a perfect fit for a role. If a candidate doesn't want to talk and create a relationship with a recruiter, then the recruiter will probably move on. Recruiters' reputations are on the line with every placement, so they want to know who they're working with and trust them! 3) Be respectful. Recruiters aren't just "waterboys" handing out jobs. They know what they're doing, and have advice/insight/knowledge that you should take advantage of!

Getting a call from from recruiters can be overwhelming when you are looking out for job, but what when you don't need or not looking for change. Respect their effort and time for calling you. Be gentle to understand their requirements and tell them you are not looking out for job and then refer someone you know who is already hunting and fits their requirements. This way you are building a healthy relationship for yourself and securing a good connection for future. Always be cautious to know about redflags of fake recruiters asking for money, Personal sensitive information, unreasonable perks etc.

I would like to add this: The best approach is to try to build rapport with the recruiter. Trust me, even if you are not selected for the job, they will consider you for future relevant job openings and will promote your profile.

If you are in the recruitment process for your "dream job" - Ask your recruiter for preparation or hints regarding the next interviews. I'm always more than happy to help candidates asking for guidance or what to expect in the following interviews. We're the ones advocating for you to the hiring team, we want you to succeed.

It's important to understand that , recruiters are in the industry to help both candidates and Hiring managers, Candidates should be transparent and share much info about their career goals, recruiters can help to open many doors of opportunity.

Recruiters work for their clients to fill requirements with qualified talent It is up to the jobseekers to understand how they are qualified before telling a recruiter to consider them for a role. The lack of knowledge in this area has been surfaced during this questionable market and to repeat the fact over and over is taxing... Recruiters work for their clients
