Making the most of your recruiter

In order to get the most out of the relationship with your recruiter, it is essential to be sure of the following points and to be completely upfront about your expectations.
  • Before you check the job boards or speak to a recruiter, identify what your reasons are for looking. What frustrations do you face in your current role/company? Is it something that can be rectified? If you have any doubts I would suggest a conversation with your employer first, to make them aware of your concerns.
  • Once you have decided that an external job search is the right thing to do, identify what you would like to achieve in the new role. Determine what the new organisation would need to offer you and the kind of culture you enjoy. These are questions that I would ask during an initial meeting/conversation so I can advise you on which organisations would be best suited.
  • Identify the specialist recruiters in your market, it doesn't have to be just one, though the quality of the relationship you build is just as important as the expertise a recruiter can offer you. How many strong recruitment relationships can you realistically maintain?
  • Honesty and setting realistic expectations is essential. If you are honest when relaying your expectations to a recruiter and honest with your feedback on suggested roles you will build mutual trust. A good recruiter would much rather you said no to a role that doesn't interest you at the start than cancel an interview with half an hour to spare.
