Why recruiter-candidate relationships can be a win win

Candidates often believe that recruiters only reach out when there's a ?????????????????? ?????????? in sight. However, this notion overlooks the fact that recruiters might not grasp the exact career trajectory a candidate envisions. In today's dynamic job market, roles are no longer strictly linear, and titles like AVP (L&D) seeking a similar-sized organization's VP (L&D) are becoming less common.

Typically, when we as recruiters call a candidate their first question is always—?????????? ?????????????? ?????? ?????????????????????? ???? ???????? ???????? ??????? ???????? ???? ?????? ???? ?????? ?? ???????? ?????????? ?????? ?????? ????????.

Many candidates ask for the job description to assess if it aligns with their expectations as we understand that many a times recruiters are approaching them for roles that are not even a remote fitment. A ???????? ???????????????? ???????????????? ???????? ???????? ???????????????? ?????????????? ???????????? ???????? ?????? ??????????????????'?? ?????????????? and understanding their career aspirations ???????????? what's listed on their CV.

Engaging in ???????????????????? ???????????????? with recruiters to articulate desired ???????????? ???????????? is crucial. These conversations not only facilitate a better understanding of why certain roles may not materialize but also provide insights into prevailing market trends and ?????????????????? ???????????????????????? ????????????????????????.

This also provides an opportunity to the candidate to assess if this is the recruiter he would like to be represented by. Ultimately if the recruiter is not able to understand your profile in detail, he/she will not be able to pitch it well to the company.

By fostering open communication with recruiters, candidates can ???????????????? ?????????? ???????????? ?????????? more effectively. Establishing such rapport will lead to a more ???????????????? ?????? ?????????? and a good recruiter will not just add you in the database for now but will remember the conversation for future references too. In fact, during my corporate career days, an executive search consultant approached and ultimately placed me in a role that would take me to my futuristic goals over the next 5 years.

So next time, a recruiter calls you, before you jump into a role or JD discuss and build a relationship. Believe us, you will find better matches and the recruiter will be able to pitch you well to your preferred role versus the immediate role at hand.
