What can a search firm do for me? | Top Of Page
Search firms work for their clients, which are the companies that engage them to fill a job assignment. Search firms may or may not be able to assist you in your job hunt, depending on whether they are currently working on a search assignment that is a fit for your background. A search consultant can act as a good networking resource: they will add you to their database of candidates and will contact you when a position opens that matches your criteria. Recruiters generally do not meet with candidates unless there is a specific position to discuss.
Should I work with more than one recruiter? | Top Of Page
Definitely. Cast your job search net as wide as possible and connect with all the recruiters that work in your industry area. Submit your resume to each one, either in application to a posted opportunity, or as a general submission, to add to the search firm's candidate database.
How often should I call a recruiter? | Top Of Page
You can feel free to touch base with a recruiter via telephone or email as a follow up to an in-person interview to check the status of the search you are being considered for or to keep the consultant aware of your interest and status. You should also touch base when your employment status changes, you are looking for a new opportunity, you have been promoted or your career is changing direction - so that you stay on their radar. However, as consultants receive hundreds of calls daily, don't put the onus on the recruiter to call you back on every message you leave. Any information you provide via a voice mail or email message will be updated on the firm's candidate database.
