Recruitment often (and erroneously) holds negative connotations within the industry. However, a specialised recruitment consultant is a valuable resource during your job search. Discover 6 reasons why finding your ideal job is best done with the help of a legal recruitment consultant.
1. Increase your chances
When engaging directly with employers during your job search, you may notice that the waiting period between submitting an application and receiving a response can be lengthy. This time could be more effectively utilised by partnering with a recruiter who has access to an extensive network of connections. They can potentially present your CV to multiple employers simultaneously, significantly increasing your chances of advancing to an interview.
2. Discover what you don't know
Struggling to receive call-backs? There may be various factors hindering your job search, such as your CV or interview skills. We provide candid feedback to our candidates, ensuring they are well-informed about their application and interview performance before we reach out to potential employers. This way, we equip our candidates for success by offering insights they might have overlooked when applying independently.
3. Guidance
Recruiters serve as invaluable resources, illuminating your strengths and weaknesses, and offering guidance on how to present yourself effectively during interviews. We provide constructive feedback and advice to help you secure a position aligned with your career aspirations. While this might involve waiting for the right opportunity, our patient approach ensures you stay informed and empowered to make the best choices for your future.
4. No salary guesswork
Take the guesswork out of the equation by being completely informed from the get-go with a recruiter as they will know the salary information on a position they are attempting to place you in. This means the recruiter will know your value and the salary you deserve. You also won’t have to go through the pain of wondering in hindsight if you could’ve gotten a higher salary if you had negotiated. Recruiters will let you know how you should represent yourself to get the salary that is a perfect match to your skills and experience.
5. Find the optimal fit
It’s in a recruiter’s best interest to find you a job that is the optimal fit with the company best for you. This means that their search will be well considered, utilising their networks to source the position that is ideal for you, limiting the possibility of you ending up in a position in which you are overqualified and underpaid.
6. Confidentiality
A lot of the time, you will start a job search while still in a current position. By working with a recruiter who understands the importance of confidentiality, you will not have to post your resume and run the risk of it being seen. So you can rest easy knowing your resume is only being seen by new potential employers.
