Is it possible your natural inclinations about corporate recruiters are all wrong? Would you believe me if I told you they were? Indulge me.
I’ve only worked directly with a few hundred of them. Only surveyed more than 20,000 over the last 16 years. Would you spend some time with me if I could show you why they want to be your advocate?
See, as a job seeker, you help them take one giant step toward fulfilling their goals—filling their open positions!
Most job candidates consider recruiters gatekeepers. That’s certainly one way of looking at it.
But, recognize they want to fill those positions...as quickly as possible.
These “gatekeepers” are more like doormen trying to hold the gates open for you. They might even carry your brief bag if you let them (no tip required).
They want to move you forward in the process. They want their company to hire you as quickly as possible because this makes them look good!
Want to know how you can help recruiters do that?
Want to know what’s happening behind the scenes so you can turn these “misunderstood foes” into your greatest allies?
