From a Recruiter’s Perspective

Common Misconceptions

•Recruitment agencies ARE NOT human resources professionals

•A recruiter’s job is not to find you a job

• Tangible skills and experience vs. potential

•Your job search is a two way process

• Follow up

• Provide feedback

• Transparency

•Recruiters speak to and partner with dozens of people at a time

•Recruiters only hold so much power over the process

From a Recruiter’s Perspective

LinkedIn• Detailed title – division, coverage group, specialization, etc.• Outline of responsibilities• Summary• Recommendations

Resume• Keywords • Standard format

Job Boards• The Ladders• Monster• eFinancial• Careerbuilder
