Maximize Your Recruiter Contacts

While a recruiter’s primary goal is to find a job for you, there is much more that they can do to help you in your job search and career. Many recruiters will help give guidence on your resume, help in targeting your job search and give general career advice. Many recruiters will also provide company research and give advice on job offers that were sourced elsewhere (either by you directly or by another recruiter). Recruiters are looking to form a relationship whether or not they are the ones that are successful in finding a job for you. They do this because it is good business practice. You will remember recruiters that offer help and advice and, once you land, you are more likely to leverage those recruiters who were helpful in your job search when you are ready to recruit as a manager.
