Why should I look now?

What can a recruiter do for me in my career search that I cannot do?

Is there anything you would like to change about your current job?

Would you rather have options, or be rushed to find your next job?

 

Important aspects of staying connected in your area: speak with friends, co-workers, and recruiters as to trends in the marketplace. Read weekly business and employment news and scan job postings on a regular basis.

 If you have an interest in a job and are open to seriously consider leaving your current position, then apply

·         to decide if there is true interest, you need to determine your criteria that needs to be met to leave your    job
·         review company website to see if they may meet criteria
·         common reasons for leaving a position
·         money
·         lack of advancement opportunities
·         location
·         management
·         don’t enjoy position 

If you start looking when you are not in a hurry, you will have the time to uncover a variety of opportunities, and be able to evaluate all of them with a clear head.  This should help you generate more offers for employment.

If you have several offers and are in higher demand, your salary may be
affected in a positive way. 

You may feel you are too busy right now to have the time to begin a
job search.  That’s where having a career consultant (headhunter) is to your advantage.  

We are abreast of your career desires, do your career searching, and provide you with summaries and updates.  We also have an insight into the market, as well as access to jobs that never make it to the job boards.  Many companies that use successful recruiters do nothing else to market their positions.  So when you are looking, you may not even find the top jobs, because you do not have access to the right information.  Our information is also more current, as we have established relationships with hiring managers, and are not
necessarily working through the HR department, who is often the last to be updated. 

Recruiters use many tools that the average person does not know about.  It would take too much time for the average person, busy with their job, to
uncover all the angles.  We know where to find the hidden jobs, because we spend 40 hours a week on the task.  Doesn’t it make sense to have an
expert at finding jobs working for you, instead of you trying to be an
expert AND be responsible for your regular job activities?

Even if there is nothing you would like to change about your current job, because it is your dream job, there is still a reason to keep your options
open.  The economy.  You never know when you may be forced to enter
the job market.  Wouldn’t it be nice to be prepared?  This also affords you
the time to build a relationship and a friendship with your recruiter. 
Business is always more successful when there is an established
relationship.
