Things to Remember When Working With Recruiters
Many candidates sign up to recruitment agencies to help them find the right role and hope they will end up with the ideal position and good salary as a result. While using recruiters can be a great way of finding your next role, there are certain things to remember to ensure you go about it the best way.
They’re Not Working For You
As a candidate, you are important to the employer, but you are not the one paying them. At the end of the day, they are trying to fill the role for their client, not find you a job. This means that if a recruiter is keen on speaking to you at length about a certain vacancy, you can be fairly assured that they are willing to put you forward – they wouldn’t waste time on what they view to be unsuitable candidates. It does also mean that their motives are not always clear. For example, when phoning you up to discuss your CV they could also be trying to ascertain things like your telephone manner and how you communicate. In short, remain on your guard with recruiters and make sure you always approach them as if they are the employer.
They May Try and Sell You Roles
As the recruiter gets paid when they place you in a role, they may try and encourage you to go for vacancies you haven’t considered or put yourself forward for. This can work in your favour – they may be able to point you towards a great role you haven’t seen or considered and it could work out great. However, they may also persuade you to go for vacancies that you aren’t keen on or don’t feel right for. Remember that you can stand your ground and don’t feel pressured into anything. But likewise, stay open minded and assess all opportunities before you make a decision.
Show Them You’re Keen
It’s important to keep in mind that often, recruiters will have several candidates suitable for a vacancy and you have to get in there fast if you want it. Avoid um-ing and ah-ing about vacancies by researching the type of role you are aiming before prior to even approaching an agency. This makes it easier for them to find things that are targeted at you, and also means that you can make fast decisions about what would be suitable for you and what wouldn’t. Also, make sure that you express enthusiasm and a drive to secure a new role in general when speaking to recruiters. The squeaky wheel gets the oil, after all.
Approach with Care
Like we said, recruiters are your gateway to the employer, meaning that you have to treat them in the same way. Even if you are having frustrations working with them, always remain polite to the recruiter. You don’t want to burn any bridges, and it’s not uncommon for rude candidate’s CVs to end up in the shredder. Also, remember that your CV is really important, so if you're not sure in its quality, ask resume editors to check it out. If you find things are really difficult and not working out with a certain recruiter, try out another agency.
There’s no harm in signing up to a recruitment agency to better your chances of finding the right role. Just make sure you do your research beforehand so you know what to expect and how it can help you.
