08 Jul Why Use Recruiters!
Have you ever found yourself endlessly scrolling through job listings, frustrated by the lack of salary information? Or perhaps you’re stumped when asked about your salary expectations, unsure whether you’re asking for too much or too little. Maybe you want the inside scoop on what it’s like to work somewhere. Well, this is why you should be using a recruiter in your job search.
I get it – you might be thinking, “What does a recruitment consultant even do? I can apply for jobs on my own. Right?” WRONG. We do a lot more than simply submit your CV. Here’s why teaming up with a recruiter can be a game-changer:
- Not All Jobs Get Advertised: Believe it or not, many vacancies never make it to public job boards like Seek or LinkedIn. By working with us, you get access to a broader range of opportunities. If you’re waiting for the perfect role to magically appear online, you could miss out on great gigs.
- Inside Scoop and Expert Advice: Getting a real feel for a company from two or three interviews is tough. That’s where we come in. We provide our candidates with insider knowledge about how a firm operates, why the role is available, and feedback from current and former employees. Plus, we offer useful tips to make you stand out, from updating your CV to acing your interviews.
- Salary Negotiation: Let’s face it, discussing salary expectations can be daunting, especially when salaries aren’t advertised. Without a recruiter, you might undervalue yourself or ask for too much and price yourself out of an interview. We handle this tricky part for you. Since we help people like you get great jobs every day, we know exactly what you should be paid and ensure you get what you deserve.
- Continued Support: Our help doesn’t stop once you’ve landed the job. We’re here to assist with salary reviews, and career progression advice, and, in the rare case things don’t go as planned, we’re ready to support you through that too.
So, next time you’re considering a new role or a potential career shift, don’t go at it alone. We’re here to help you navigate the job market, negotiate your salary, and land your dream job.
