How Many Recruiters Should I Work With?

Thanks for Sharing

It is perfectly all right to collaborate with numerous recruiters. I tell every candidate that is dealing with several recruiters to do the following:

Be straightforward and let the recruiter know that this relationship with them is not an exclusive.
Be specific with your recruiter and let them know where your cv has been sent out by either yourself or an additional recruiter and demand that they let you have knowledge of, in advance, where your resume will be sent out.
There is absolutely nothing worse than a hiring manager receiving your resume from multiple sources. It raises a red flag. I have actually learnt through companies that they typically remove that resume due to the fact that it’s challenging to figure out who exactly is really representing the applicant.

I actually do feel that 1-3 recruiters is a good arrangement for a job search. Begin with one, talk with them, and see what they have to offer. Just how they would deal with aiding your job search.
Stick with them if you like them and they have a good amount of options. If their options are limited, talk to an additional recruiter. Make sure you have choices and know what you want. Again, if you feel one recruiter has everything covered for you, fantastic! You can feel in control of your job search. I personally feel that the more recruiters that are working with you the amount of control that you give up can really come back to harm you in the long run … it would be a real pity if you were best person for an opportunity only to have it not work out because of something out of your control.

Thanks for Sharing

Effective networking for a job is the number one way that most people get jobs. When people get laid off they tend to gravitate to the job boards but depending on what study you look at only about 8 to 14% get jobs from the job boards. Several studies that I’ve seen have shown over 50% of jobs come through networking. I’m sure you’ve heard the old saying it’s not what you know it’s who you know and that is so true with job search. Remember, a lot of companies pay referral fees because it saves them a lot of time and money if they can hire somebody who’s been recommended to them and those people usually stay around for a lot longer. This video reviews eight tips to help you with your career networking.
