If you're a successful professional, executive, or leader
and you've been searching in vain for a proven strategy to accelerate your career
fulfillment, impact and earnings then Reverse Recruiting is your answer to
understanding the recruiting industry at a deep level and using that knowledge
to your advantage.
Essentially, a Reverse Recruiter works for you to implement
successful job search strategies, while a traditional recruiter works for the
company to place the best candidate.
A Reverse Recruiter, also known as a Job Search Specialist,
assists job seekers throughout the recruitment process. They perform job
search-related activities from the opposite end of the spectrum, which means
that instead of recruiting for organizations, they search for employment and firms
on behalf of job seekers. This can be a helpful service for those who are
struggling to find a job on their own, as Reverse Recruiters have access to
resources and networks that the average job seeker may not. In addition,
Reverse Recruiters can provide guidance and support throughout the entire job
search process, from crafting a strong resume to preparing for interviews.
They analyze and compile the top trending keywords in job
descriptions and give career advice on how to best position yourself for these
roles.
With the help of Reverse Recruiters, you can effortlessly apply
for jobs and discover interviews that are tailored to your strengths. These
forward-thinking job placement professionals will make sure that you find
success with every application process - making job hunting a breeze!
A Reverse Recruiter is someone who assists a job seeker in
creating resume documents, performing job searches, analyzing job descriptions,
networking, applying to jobs, and finding interviews.
The process is to use all three markets involved in job
prospecting
1) Building social capital with key decision makers (80%)
2) Promoting you to recruiters (10%)
3) Searching job boards (10%)
There's a reason that 63% of hiring managers say that talent
shortage is their biggest Problem. Our strategy must concentrate on securing
multiple interviews because it's a much more successful approach working to
secure 10 interviews rather than getting one interview and pinning all your
hopes on it.
We've got some nifty tricks, especially concerning job
boards and recruiters that we use with our clients. The key to remember is that
most people do this backward. They spend all their time on the advertised jobs,
but what you can see is not actually representative of what's out there.
Applying online, you could spend six months of wasted
effort. This is why reverse recruiting can put you front and center with the
best recruiters and find the best roles on job boards. Imagine your job search
was as simple as sitting back and waiting for interviews and value-adding
conversations with key decision-makers fall into your inbox. The combination of
career consulting plus job search technology can save you hundreds of hours of
work and get you much, much better results.
First off, you can help recruiters find you by having an
outstanding LinkedIn profile. The more you post and engage, the more you will
be favored by the algorithm and be seen higher up in their search results. This
is the primary way recruiters search. Reverse Recruiters use automated
technology systems, to connect with countless recruiters. The trick is to find
the ones that are hiring for a role just like the one you want to get. The only
way to do that effectively is to connect with them all.
The first step is to filter your dream organization by size,
type and location. This will give enough information to start with. Next, a
Reverse Recruiter will implement a list of 100 key decision-makers. The people
you select should be at a minimum the level you want to obtain, but ideally
higher. If you're seeking a Marketing Director role, your list will include
prospects like CMO, CEO, Head of Marketing, etc.
The main component of Reverse Recruiting then involves
systematically building relationships with those people through an outreach
campaign. You need tried and tested methods to find and verify work emails.
This process works so well precisely because many of these people only get into
their positions because they understand the power of human relationships. If
you present your outreach in the right way, they will be open to communication.
Conversations turn into interviews. Following up on your outreach increases
your chances at least twofold. The final step is to get those online
conversations into a phone call, an interview, or a referral.
In conclusion
If you're searching for the perfect job, a Reverse Recruiter
can be your biggest asset. By understanding every detail of what it takes to
land that dream role, they use cutting-edge strategies and tools to make job
hunting an effortless process. They put themselves in your shoes so you don't
have to - because when it comes to getting hired at the ideal company... no one
should do all the heavy lifting alone!
