How Best To Work With A Search Firm

February 25th, 2008 · No Comments

When a Recruiter Calls

Colorado search firms are paid to identify the best quality candidates they can find for the jobs they represent so don’t be surprised if you get a call. If you’re not ready to make a change right now it never hurts to know what’s happening in the market and you may have a friend who is interested in making a change. The chances are that you’ll be looking to make a change at some time in the future so it can’t hurt to have a relationship with a reputable search firm. Keep track of the recruiters you speak with and use them to provide you with insight into the employment market you can’t find anywhere else.

Tell Us What You Want

Recruiters aren’t perfect so if you’re not interested in a position that a recruiter presents to you don’t waste your time or the recruiter’s time by pretending that you are! We’re not the job police so always speak candidly regarding any concerns or questions you may have regarding a position or a client. We’re here to answer your questions and don’t want to waste time if you’re not really interested, you owe it to yourself to hold out for your dream job.

Interviewing

Interview with your recruiter the same way you interview with an employer; be polished, positive, honest, knowledgeable and confident. Recruiters can make great advisors and mentors; so let them know where you see yourself and the specifics of the type of job you’re looking for and they will be able to provide valuable advice and insights to the market. Last be not least please always be honest about other opportunities, interviews or offers that you may be entertaining so we can stay informed as to where you are in the process.

Stay In Touch

Look at the search firm as a tool once you’ve made initial contact and don’t hesitate to keep us informed of any changes in your employment status you feel we should be aware of. We have new jobs presented to us every day; we could have your dream job on our desk tomorrow and then you can get the 75 day a year on the slopes you need and want.

We’re here to help so please don’t hesitate to ask!!
