Headhunter: Should You Use A Recruiter?

   

Author: Carl Mueller

Should I use a recruiter is a common question that people ask themselves when planning their next job search.

As a recruiter, I can suggest a few ways that we can help you with your job search:

They can expose you to jobs that you wouldn't otherwise have known about.

They should "sell" your skills and background to their clients which can help get your foot in the door when you might otherwise get ignored if you'd applied directly to the company on your own.

They should help you prepare for interviews with their clients.

They usually negotiate salary and compensation with their client(s) on your behalf.

They can help you resign from your current employer and should assist with the transition to your new job.

These are just a few ways that a good recruiter can help you.

When you ask yourself "should I use a recruiter" keep in mind that the best way to use a recruiter(s) is when they supplement your job search rather than using them solely to get a new job.

I feel that your best bet is to try a number of different job search methods including use of a recruiter(s) when you are looking for a new job.

I suggest that finding a good recruiter(s) who understands your desired job market and is willing to help you with your search can really help speed up your job search.

Remember too that using a recruiter does not cost you a cent: The hiring company pays the recruiter, not the job searcher.

Author Bio:

Carl Mueller

My name is Carl Mueller and I'd like to thank you for learning a bit more about me!

I feel that I have numerous relevant experiences during my career that come in useful when helping people with their careers:

I know what it?s like to work internationally, having worked overseas (in New Zealand, from 1994-1998).

I've survived several corporate downsizings while many of my colleagues were being laid off.

I have also experienced being laid off twice myself during corporate downsizings.

I know what it?s like to be self-employed.

I've helped many people find better jobs. I started to work as a professional recruiter in 2000 first as an Information Technology (IT) recruiter and then in general recruitment across many industries including IT, manufacturing and marketing. Since this time, I have helped many people find their dream career and it?s a great feeling.

I experienced one of the slowest hiring periods in recent memory especially during the general hiring slowdown that followed the Y2K frenzy in 1999, the bursting of the dot com bubble in early 2000, and then the employment market bottoming out following September 11, 2001.

These were certainly not great times to be a job searcher in most industries nor was it a particularly good time to be a recruiter.

Following this, I began running the day to day operations of an Internet-based company in early 2003 that focused on developing online software and subscription-based websites for consumers. It was then that I fully realized the power, usefulness and potential of the Internet which really spurred me to set up my own website which you can view in my Personal URL section below this bio.

I?m also a Platinum Ezine Articles Expert as recognized by EzineArticles.com, one of the most visited websites on the Internet. This special designation is earned by having consistently high-quality articles published and viewed on their website. All of my submissions are related to helping you find your dream career and many of my articles get reproduced on other websites by their webmasters.

Good luck with your career and I hope I have been of assistance to you!
