Job Search: Using a Recruiter

Friday, November 30th, 2007

Job searches are hard enough. Using the internet and job search engines can be a bog help in sorting through the massive amounts of jobs listed on the internet. But sometimes a person, particularly one with a full-time job and a family, does not have the time it takes to search on his or her own to find the right job.

One of the most helpful things a person can do in this situation is to hire a recruiter. While you do need to sign a contract with most recruiters, generally their fee will be paid by the company that hires you. Recruiters search for job openings for you according to your abilities, skills, education, and experience. This is exactly what you would do if you had the time. Most recruiters will keep searching if their first suggestion isn’t a match, but beware: some recruiters will dump you if you disagree with their first proposal.

The Job Search: Finding a Recruiter or Employment Agency

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

Recruiters and recruitment agencies can be a great help to those in the job market who do not have the time to search for a job themselves. This may be because their current full-time job takes up too much of their time, or because of family constraints. Either way, recruiters are a big help when it comes to the seemingly interminable job search.

But how do you find a good recruiter? You may feel more inclined to go with a recruiter or a recruiting agency that has national acclaim. One that is well known can be a good bet, especially if you want to find a job somewhere else in the country. But if you want to find a job near your current location, a local recruiter may be a better option. These recruiters are familiar with the local job market, and know what local companies have openings.
