As a candidate, the most important thing to understand is how hiring managers make their decisions. While a hiring manager realizes that recruiting, screening, and hiring new employees is a critical part of their job, oftentimes they miss out on an opportunity to hire the best candidate for their company due to lack of time or experience.
Like many of us, hiring managers are trying their best to find a work/life balance. This is why working with the right executive search firm can help candidates open doors, connect with hiring managers, secure an interview, and land the perfect career.
Here are three ways partnering with an executive recruiter will help you land your perfect career:
- Save you time
If you have ever spent hours searching, applying, and following up on positions you know it is a frustrating process. An executive recruiter knows the job market, understands your skills, and can help to explain how your skills transfer to various positions.
In addition, executive recruiters are typically the first to know about companies that are planning to hire in the future. Therefore, they can help identify and secure interviews for jobs that have not been publicly posted yet.
- Polish your resume & online presence
Many of us do not spend ample time updating our resume or LinkedIn portfolio, but it is typically the first impression we make on hiring managers.
An executive recruiter can help you ensure the overall tone of your career summary properly demonstrates the value you have brought to previous positions and emphasize the talents you will bring to the desired position.
- Preparation and negotiations
When you work with an executive recruiter they are with you every step of the way throughout your job search. This includes, but is not limited to interview preparation and salary negotiations.
Executive search firms are paid a commission based on your salary. A common misconception is that this commission is paid by the candidate, but the reality is that it does not come out of your pay. The commission is an added expense for the company who hires you. Therefore, the right executive recruiter will be committed to helping you get what you are worth.
Searching for a job can be stressful, and finding your perfect career can take a lot of time, research, and effort. You are not alone!
