How to work with a recruiter

Recruiters are invaluable for job seekers. They have far reaching contacts in a variety of industries, know hundreds of different roles and job types, and have resources that can enhance any job search.

So, if you haven’t used a recruiter yet in your career or your new job search, check out our top tips on how to do it right.

Recruiter tip 1

Find a recruiter with a history in your industry. The best way to do this is to surf SEEK and look at who’s advertising the most relevant jobs. These are the recruitment companies you should make contact with.

Recruiter tip 2

Build relationships with individual recruiters. It is not just about this job, if you are someone with great experience or potential a recruiter will place you five or six times during your career and may keep you in mind even when you’re not actively looking for a new role.

Recruiter tip 3

Be honest. If you lay your cards on the table, the recruiter can help prepare you for the interview and set employer expectations. The recruiter wants you to win this role, let them support you.

Recruiter tip 4

Sell your experience. Employers pay recruiters to find experienced people. Only the qualified land an interview. So, make sure your CV for the recruiter highlights your qualifications and experience high up and that you apply for jobs you have a reasonable chance of getting.
