Here is a list of
helpful
tips as you work with recruiters.
- Types of
Recruiters
- there are 2 types of recruiters - contingency and retained. The
retained
recruiter typically works on job searches of $200,000 base salary or
more.
There is no difference to candidates in terms of the type of recruiter
you
deal with. The contingency recruiter is paid by the company after they
place
a person in a position. Typically, they are one of several recruiters
that
the company uses to fill positions. The retained recruiter is hired on
an
exclusive basis by the company and is paid whether or not the position
is
filled.
- Recruiters will
not
find you a position - Recruiters work for the company and are a
representative
for the company. They have positions that they are hired to fill.
Recruiters
do not find people jobs. Therefore, it is best to work with as many
recruiters
as possible when conducting a major job search.
- What you should
expect
from Recruiters - you should expect that they give you details
on
the company, position, location, compensation, and career path. Without
this
information, you should be very wary of recruiters that do not or will
not
give you this information.
