| Working
with your recruiter Below
are ten tips from MRINetwork Recruiters on how to
effectively work with an MRI Recruiter:
| 1. Be
Professional |
| |
“How you work
with a recruiter is a direct correlation
of how you will work with your boss,
colleagues, and vendors. It is a window
into who you really are. A good recruiter
will always measure this as part of your
qualifications and convey his or her
impressions to the prospective hiring
company.” --Jeffrey
A. Heath
|
| 2. Be
Honest |
| |
“Be upfront
about the extent of your job searching
efforts and results. Your recruiter has a
vested interest in placing you in a
career that could potentially change your
life. You will gain nothing from being
dishonest with your recruiter.” --Ed
Hamel, Building Products Recruiter
|
| 3. Be
Forthright |
| |
“Tell your
recruiter all of your requirements and
preferences, for example, in regard to
salary or relocation.” --Gene
Powell
“When an
interview is completed, give us your
feedback – good, bad, or indifferent!
This is the only way we can facilitate
the process. We must talk with you before
we get back in touch with the hiring
manager. We will want to know what was
discussed, how did the manager leave the
interview with you, are you interested in
the position and do you want to proceed
to the next step. If you are not
interested in proceeding, we’ll want
to know your reasons. This will help us
in screening other opportunities for you.”
--Gary Akin
|
| 4. Be
Committed |
| |
“Don’t be
casual with what you agree to or commit
to. Your attention to commitment will not
go unnoticed. Know what you want, say
what you mean, and do what you say.”
--Ed Hamel,
Building Product Recruiter
|
| 5. Be Pro-Active |
| |
“Get to know
whoever specializes in your industry. (Our
recruiters work in specialized niches. Be
sure you contact the appropriate person!
Search for a recruiter in your industry
now.) Place a call to them and get
familiar with them. Be sure to send them
your resume. You don't even have to be
looking for a job right now but it is
good for them to have your resume on file.
You never know when they might have that
ideal job opportunity that might be
better than the job you currently have.”
--Stacy
Pursell
|
| 6. Be
Inquisitive |
| |
“You will
likely have questions about housing costs,
insurance, relocation, etc. Ask your
recruiter. We want to make sure all these
questions are answered before the
interview. ‘Do I want to work here?’
and ‘Do I want to work with these
people?’ are the only questions left
for the final interview.” --Gary
Akin
|
| 7. Be
Prepared |
| |
“Prepare for
the interview by reading materials that
your recruiter has sent you and by doing
research on the company.” --Gary
Akin
|
| 8. Be
Cooperative |
| |
“Don’t
play games! Regardless of any past
experiences you have had with recruiters,
take your current recruiter seriously. If
you are not comfortable with your
recruiter, move on. There are 5,000
recruiters in our network!” --Ed
Hamel, Building Products Recruiter
|
| 9. Be
Patient |
| |
“A smart
recruiter knows how frustrating it can be
to search for a job. Be patient.
We’ve got your best interest in mind,
and we’ll call you as soon as we can.” --Mickey
Kampsen
|
| 10. Be
Enthusiastic |
| |
“I still get
excited about a truly marketable
candidate. I like to see enthusiasm in
the candidate as well.” --Gene
Powell
