Starting a new career can be quite intimidating, and can be a lot for one person to handle. Working with a professional recruiter or executive search agent can make the job search process much easier, and building a relationship with an executive recruiter can expose you to opportunities you may have otherwise missed. Executive recruiters, sometimes called executive headhunters or executive search agencies, research and employ qualified individuals for their client businesses. The recruiter acts as an independent contact between potential candidates and client companies to fill positions they may be offering within their company. The first thing to remember about executive recruiters is that they do not work for you. They work for the client businesses, which are trying to find employees. In other words, recruiters do not find jobs for people, they find people for jobs. Do not approach the task of finding an executive recruiter as if you want to “hire” him or her. Rather, try to ...

Having worked in travel recruitment and headhunting for some time, I've learned a great deal about the way executive search agencies work. Even if you're not actively looking for work, an enquiring headhunter call can boost morale or prompt a wage boost by your current employer eager to keep you at the firm, and of course if you are looking for work, then letting headhunters do the legwork will save you an awful lot of time and effort. But just how do you go about getting noticed by recruitment companies without speaking to them directly? Be the Best you can Be This one may sound like a complete cop-out, but the truth is that headhunters go for the exceptional. Don't ever feel like you have no room to improve, and try to develop your skills as best you can. It's tempting to think that if you're not at one of the top companies in your industry, then you won't fall onto the recruiter's radar, but this is actually far from the truth - we know that there are skilful, talented workers at ...

There are many ways to approach executive search firms of all types and sizes. The first step in this is to learn more about how each firm operates and to keep any expectations to a minimum to start with. The key to this is in understanding that search firms are not there to help unemployed individuals find job openings, but to serve employers on a fee basis by searching for the best suited and most qualified candidates for any given position. Senior management and executives should submit resumes to the top of the line executive firms for inclusion in their search databases. Resumes should be tailored to highlight the most important skills while fitting them into a fine-tuned format that surrounds a specific job role and industry. Before approaching any such firm, it is critical to ensure that the desired positions and industries being targeted are backed up with strong qualifications, experience and skills, along with marked accomplishments. The second step is to determine which ...

As President of an executive search firm, I see resumes from highly qualified and able candidates every day. And it only takes a glance to see why many of these experienced executives are not getting the interviews that, doubtless, they feel they deserve. The reason ? Many of these resumes look and feel the same. Same dry format. Same qualifications and similar backgrounds. Same laundry list of previous achievements. Nothing at all to set one resume apart from the next. To be perceived as a top of the line, A-list candidate, your resume MUST be memorable. It must be impactful. It must sell you to potential employers. A list of what you did last year or the year before just won't cut it. Employers want to know what you are going to do in the future - for them. Here's some tips to ensure that your resume doesn't end up in the 'also-rans' pile. i) Be Unique You must show employers why they should be interested in YOU over equally able and competent competing executives. Ensure that your ...
