Job Searching Tips: The Recruiter's Perspective

Job Searching Tips: The Recruiter's Perspective You can find out more about me from my website: http://www.redincllc.com. Many times it can fell like the recruiter is against you, that they are trying to weed you out, and that they are soulless, heartless people. Let me give you the perspective on the other side of the hiring process. As a recruiter, when I call you for a phone interview or to interview you, I am begging in my heart of hearts, for you to be the person for the job. Because then I can stop interviewing people and get paid quicker. A lot of recruiters work on commission, some are salaried (depending on the company). Ultimately it's a job that someone has to do, so the sooner they fill the position, the sooner that they can move on. They are secretly rooting for you to be the ideal candidate to hire. So you may ask, why are recruiters so difficult on people? Because when they send you to the hiring manager, if they haven't done their job well to determine if you are qualified, and they pass you off to the hiring manager and there's something you say that they missed, then they look bad. Either in front of their boss or their client. And that's definitely not a position that recruiters want to be in. That's why the recruiter needs to be tough with you. But you have to meet the recruiter half way. You have to troubleshoot the potential problems with your candidacy for the position. You have to treat them as a friend and advisor so they can do a good job of presenting you to the hiring manager. You need to respect the position that they're in to strategize ways to make you a stronger candidate in their eyes. You need to do that prep work before the call to give them enough ammunition and discuss any pitfalls (or at least know how you can address them). Talk with the recruiter about your salary expectations, is there a way to present that differently to the hiring manager. Be honest about the pitfalls in your background and if you don't obviously bring them up with the recruiter, at least be honest with yourself and come up with a way to discretely defend yourself in the interview. Whatever you tell the recruiter, you need to be honest with the hiring manager as well. You can't introduce new information to the hiring manager that you didn't disclose to the recruiter (at least without acknowledging that you didn't do that in the first place.) Just like any industry, there are good recruiters and there are bad recruiters. They'll have good days and bad days, and sometimes they'll have a bad relationship with their client and that can bleed over into how they recruit. But chances are, you'll need to work with them to some degree during your search. If you change your perspective and see them as a partner, you'll get a lot farther.
