Beneficial Tips for Working With an Executive Recruiter in Your Job Search

Most of us probably already knew what Executive Recruiters are, and what they are meant to do. They are recruitment professionals that specialize in recruiting leaders/executive-level positions (ie. senior managers, directors, and “C” levels within companies)

Therefore, here are some tips that will certainly benefit you should you be aided by Executive Recruiter in your job search:

1. Know your job target.

This is a very important aspect of job search in general. Therefore, you need to specialize and focus on only the ones that you are aiming at best based on your work experiences & credentials; avoiding unnecessary job desperations or misunderstandings.

2. Pay close attention to your LinkedIn profile.

Executive Recruiters utilizes their vast networks, yet also uses social media (specifically LinkedIn) to source potential candidates. With it, they are also using it to do some background checks.  Therefore, It’s imperative to spend some time getting your LinkedIn profile in a pro – look, and to make it an all-star status. Besides that, you also want to make sure that your LinkedIn profile is clean from clutters; out from the unnecessary personal or political opinions.

3. Use a chronological resume.

In your resume, please make sure that you list your most recent work experience first. If you do have gaps in your work history, find a way to account for that time so that it does not generate any red flags on behalf of the Executive Recruiter.

4. Share your salary expectations.

Executive Recruiters can help you negotiate with the employer but they will not be able to help you if you don’t tell your salary detail.  They want a good match between you and the company as that’s how they get paid so they want you to be happy, too.

Please, pretty please, do honor the Executive Recruiter’s relationship with the employer.  It is common understanding to let the recruiter handle the communication with the potential employer.

 

I hope that helps and good luck!
