Starting a new adventure and looking for a job can be an exciting time in your life, whether you’re starting your first professional career after university or are looking for a change from your current role. However, it is not always as easy as you think.
Recruiters are here to help you navigate your next move! Think of recruiters as superheroes, they have the knowledge, skills, and power to help you through your job search process.
Here are the top 4 reasons why you should use recruiters when job hunting:
- Insider knowledge
Our recruiters have great relationships with their clients who would be your potential employer! This will work to your advantage as the recruiter can provide you with honest insight into the company, therefore can help you decide if the job is right for you. It also allows you the freedom to ask the recruiter any questions you have about the company such as the work culture and environment. This will provide you with a realistic and honest idea of the company, salary, and overall job expectations.
- Provide you with support
Applying for a new role can be an overwhelming process, we believe it is important to support our candidates through the application process. Our recruiters always call before and after your interview. Having a recruiter call you before your interview can help you feel less nervous and will help refresh your memory of the job role, this can make you feel reassured as you can voice any last-minute concerns you have before going to the interview. The recruiter is there to chat about how you are feeling before the interview and to provide you with any last-minute tips, our recruiters will also call you after the interview to check how you felt the interview went. Having the recruiter check up on you can be very reassuring and help boost your confidence.
- Recruiters can prep you for the interview
Each company has a different interviewing style and process, the client may also ask for a short video or a presentation depending on the job role. This is where you can maximise the recruiter’s help and support, as they are able to provide you with guidance and tips on what the client may be expected during the interview, who the interviewer will be, and how the interview process will work. You can use this to prepare for the interview, by searching the interview on LinkedIn and preparing answers to any questions they have.
- Give you constructive feedback
It is essential to gain feedback from interviews to understand your own strengths and weaknesses, even if the interview is unsuccessful the recruiter is always able to get feedback. This will help you gain confidence in the things that the interviewer was impressed with, it will also help you interview better for your next role if you are aware of certain things that you may have forgotten to mention.
