Things to Consider When Working with a Recruitment Agency
List of Services
-
DON’T HOLD BACK ON INFORMATION Write a description for this list item and include information that will interest site visitors. For example, you may want to describe a team member's experience, what makes a product special, or a unique service that you offer.
List Item 1 -
BE PERSONALList Item 2
Before writing a cover letter, or sending an email to a recruiter, ensure what you are writing is specific to who you are addressing. For example, when we view an email from a candidate, we can sense when the email has been sent to many other recruiters (and sometimes we can even see that it was when you just CC us all in the same blanket email!).
-
EXPLAIN YOUR SALARY EXPECTATIONSList Item 3
We cannot press enough how important it is to be realistic about your salary expectations. If you are not sure, ask your recruiter for assistance to determine how much your skills are worth based on your experience, the geographic location you’re considering, and the market there currently. This helps us pinpoint jobs that are right for you and speak confidently on your behalf when speaking with our clients.
For example, let’s imagine you are searching for a role with a salary of $60,000 as the absolute minimum that you will accept. We are working with that salary expectation in mind. Therefore, we will present you with opportunities no lower than the expected salary. We don’t want you to go through the entire process for a position only to find out they can’t meet your needs and it have been a waste of everyone’s time and resources.

TAILORING YOUR LINKEDINList Item 4
Many employees monitor your online presence on social networking apps such as LinkedIn when recruiting. As a professional seeking a new job, it is important that if you are on social media that you’re using it to build a strong personal brand that leaves an employer confident that you will be a positive addition to their team. We’re not going to force you to get a LinkedIn profile, but if you do have one, make sure that it’s adding value and not hindering your applications.

Like tailoring your email, it is important to tailor your resume. It is time to wow the crowd! It is perfectly okay to match your resume to each specific job you are applying for.
By saying this, we do not mean to lie or exaggerate your resume. Instead, ensure your skills and relevant experience for the specific position are showcased and at the top of your list.
