Beat Unemployment By Circumventing HR And Recruiters

If you're?unemployed, you can beat?unemployment?by circumventing HR and recruiters.

It's important to know who's giving you this advice - I've been a 3rd party recruiter for over 18 years. I'm here to tell you that recruiters like me, internal recruiters and HR are the worst ways for you to try and land a job, especially if you're?unemployed.

Because it's not a recruiter's job to find you a job ... it's their job to find an exact fit for the hiring manager. Internal recruiters also direct resumes (including the ones that are sent through networking) into HR's resume screening database, keep a company compliant with hiring laws, and keep you from contacting hiring managers. And in 2023, there are plenty of equally qualified candidates who are currently working that are less risky to hiring managers than those in career transition.

Unfair? Definitely. But it's fact. So you can either complain about it or do something about it ... I suggest learning how to do something about it, so here's one way to start.

Avoid us. Stop applying online through job boards, company websites, LinkedIn or by sending us your?resume. It's the job of HR and recruiters to get in your way and block you from getting to hiring managers.

Instead, learn how to get to hiring mangers directly and before the job is posted (even internally). Most job seekers don't do this well, because you've been taught to network in a way that causes you (or your?resume) to be redirected back to HR. Also, most job seekers have been taught to network too late to be considered as one of the top candidates, leading to the worst quality interviews (that fail to advance or get offers).

Most companies have processes and policies (including Employee Referral Bonus Programs) designed to recapture?resumes?sent by networking efforts back into the Applicant Tracking Systems. This doesn't mean it's impossible to bypass HR and recruiters ... Instead, it means that your networking method doesn't work well, because you haven't learned a more effective networking strategy to avoid HR and recruiters.

But there's a solution ... Why not let me show you?

I'll teach you how to change your resume/job search strategy to beat unemployment and accelerate your job search. While we're at it, I can show you how to turnaround a slow job search, making it so effective that you can beat unemployment fast.

I help people solve the most difficult job search problems, including job search acceleration, getting past ATSs, ageism, remote positions, product/job function/career/industry/ geographic change, unemployment, "bouncy" recent career path, job search turnaround, seeking raise/promotion, industry in decline/consolidation, long term gaps, family leave, or other of the most challenging job search issues.
