Recruitment often (and erroneously) holds negative connotations within the industry. However, a specialised recruitment consultant can be a valuable resource during your job search. Our latest blog explores 6 reasons why finding your ideal job may be best done with the help of a legal recruitment consultant.
1. Increase your chances in the job search
When dealing directly with employers during your job hunt, you may find that the wait between sending an application and receiving a call back takes a fair amount of time. This time may be better spent with a recruiter who has access to a vast network of connections and can potentially put your CV in front of a number of potential employers at once, heightening the chance of your progressing to an interview.
2. Discover what you don't know
Not having much success in receiving a call back? There might a multitude of things that are preventing you from landing a role, i.e., your CV, interview performance etc. At Sonder Consultants, we provide honest feedback to our candidates to ensure they are as informed as possible regarding their application and interview performance prior to us reaching out to a potential employer. In this sense, we set our candidates up for success as best we can by providing insights that the candidate may have missed when they were applying on their own.
3. Set up for Success
Recruiters can be a valuable resource to shine light on areas of strengths and weaknesses, provide guidance on how to best posture yourself in an interview and help set you up for success when it comes to mapping out your ideal career trajectory.
At Sonder Consultants, we don’t believe in pushing candidates into roles just because the positions are available. Instead, we will always honour our value of honesty and provide feedback and advice to guide you to a position that fits with your intended career trajectory.
This may entail waiting for the right opportunity to become available, however our patience will ensure you are informed and given the freedom to make the optimal decision for you.
Whether or not a position is successfully fulfilled, we will offer feedback along every step of the way as we understand how valuable this information is to a job seeker.
4. No salary guesswork
Take the guesswork out of the equation by being completely informed from the get-go with a recruiter as they will know the salary information on a position they are attempting to place you in. This means the recruiter will know your value and the salary you deserve. You also won’t have to go through the pain of wondering in hindsight if you could’ve gotten a higher salary if you had negotiated. Recruiters will let you know how you should represent yourself to get the salary that is a perfect match to your skills and experience.
5. The optimal fit for you
It’s in a recruiter’s best interest to find you a job that is the optimal fit with the company best for you. This means that their search will be well considered, utilising their networks to source the position that is ideal for you, limiting the possibility of you ending up in a position in which you are overqualified and underpaid.
6. Confidentiality
A lot of the time, you will start a job search while still in a current position. By working with a recruiter who understands the importance of confidentiality, you will not have to post your resume and run the risk of it being seen. So you can rest easy knowing your resume is only being seen by new potential employers.
