Are you making a job or career change? 

Is the DIY route the best to land your ideal job?

No, not always.

There may be a lot of jobs available, but not all of them are great positions for you. Most job seekers are unimpressed with the majority of positions on job boards, the responses received, or even the offers that have come in. And after a full day of work and other commitments, it’s challenging to muster the energy to write yet another cover letter and customize yet another resume when you do encounter an interesting job.

Benefits of Engaging A Reputable and Award-Winning Staffing Agency to Help Land the Perfect Job

This is where a qualified professional Recruiter can make all the difference. As a pre-qualified job seeker in a recruiter’s prospect pool, you receive several benefits. Below are some ways that Recruitment Professionals help you outperform your competition for your ideal new job.

Recruiters help you save time

How long does it take you to look through job boards and submit applications? Utilizing a recruiter enables you to divide the effort. Recruiters look for candidates for their clients for at least eight hours each day.

Recruiters are aware of available positions. They are aware of your presence. They spend a lot of time ensuring that they fill those positions.

Maybe you are unable to look for work because of other responsibilities in your life. Until a new opportunity arises, you might continue to work for your current employer. Additionally, you can be attending class or looking after your family. Utilizing a recruiter will expedite your job hunt.

Open discussion

Professional Recruiters are most often very knowledgeable about their clients and the roles they are trying to fill. You can be open with them about salary and other expectations. They are working in and aligned to your best interests… a successful placement. 

Engaging a recruiter allows you to learn more about any unique conditions or difficulties associated with the open post. It may not be available to you when applying online or even through an employee’s referral.

They will also be honest with you about your strengths and weaknesses, where you can improve your pitch, resume and interview performance. Professional Recruiters provide invaluable feedback when it comes to evaluating and positioning your past work experience and successes with new audiences and opportunities.

Establish a wider network

Consider your present network of contacts in the employment market, including your prior employers, college teachers and administrators, friends, and family. Even though that group is sizable, the number of people recruiters can reach is far greater due to their time invested in it and their combined internal agency networks as well. Take advantage of a recruiter’s relationships to maximize the effectiveness of your job search.

You depend on your résumé, which you provide to the hiring manager or HR department, to be taken into consideration for any position. However, when you have the backing of a recruiter who believes you would be a good fit for their client and is speaking on your behalf, you are much more likely to get an interview. 

Recruiters spend a lot of time networking in person, over the phone, and through online and proprietary databases. Using a recruiter will greatly expand your network as you look for work.

Best possible salary for you 

Working with a recruiter to find jobs is free for job seekers. Employers pay a recruiter for their services. It’s a common misperception that recruiters take a cut of the job seekers pay. This notion has been around for a long time, but it’s just not true. In fact, engaging with a recruiter is not only cost-free but that Recruitment Professionals can assist you in securing a higher-paying position.

Your compensation can be negotiated on your behalf by a Professional Recruiter, factoring in similar employer’s offers for similar talent and your immediate competition for that position. Clients typically pay Recruitment firms based on a percentage of the first-year salary of the new hire. So the Recruiter is incented to help the job seeker get the best offer the Client can make is in the recruiter’s best interests.

Streamline the process

A competent Professional Recruiter works hard to offer their clients the greatest possible candidates. Most of them will help job seekers prepare for the hiring process and interviews and offer stage. Most of your questions should be answered by the recruiter, leaving the client and job seeker with more time to assess skill set, culture fit and the intangibles when they meet. This can often lead to fewer or shorter interviews because both the client and job seeker have already seen, assessed and addressed most of their questions or concerns by the time they meet, trusting in their Professional Recruiter’s guidance.
