Ten Reasons Why You Need a Recruiter

If you are like most job seeking professionals, you may be having trouble landing the “right” job.  Nowadays, you are competing with various applicants, regardless of the position, rank or field. It’s getting increasingly difficult to impress employers with very little interaction and the growing rate of applications. So what do you do? That’s where a recruiter comes in to save the day.

Recruiters are the light at the end of your job search tunnel. Here are 10 reasons why you need a recruiter to land the job.

1. Relationships:  Recruiters have direct relationships with the companies they source for and can often fast-track your resume directly to a hiring manager. When you apply electronically to an online posting and never speak with a human or send an unsolicited resume directly to a company, you are likely to enter a black hole of hundreds of candidates who have done the same. – Adam Barron, Technical Resource Manager, EDI Staffing
   .
2. Access Granted: Working with a recruiter gives you access to consulting & contract opportunities that are not typically posted on job boards or company websites. You could be missing out on various opportunities, just because they are simply not available to you. – Aron Gilbody,  National Account Manager, EDI Staffing
   .
3. Job Description– a recruiter can typically provide key information and details about a job posting that are not actually listed within the job description. You’ll have the one up on the other applicants. –Barbara Feldman, Corporate Account Manager, EDI Staffing
   .
4. Simply, More Options:  Using a recruiter expands your pool of potential jobs.  Instead of spending countless hours on job search sites, we do the work for you.  –Andrew Sergio, National Account Manager, EDI Staffing
   .
5. Knowledge of the Marketplace- Recruiters are constantly keeping up with the industry and have various resources to keep them up to date. Since job seeking can be a tedious and stressful task, having someone who knows the marketplace can be very rewarding. It’s the recruiter’s job to work with you to find the best fit for your employment. – Craig Farley, Technical Resource Manager, EDI Staffing
   .
6. Job Preparation- Recruiters assist with resume preparation to highlight skills and experience that hiring managers look for.  – Lori Noel,Technical Resource Manager, EDI Staffing

7. Honesty- Have you ever gotten the “We’ve decided to go with someone else” call, and felt like you didn’t get the appropriate feedback? Have you ever wondered what you need to do differently in the next interview? A recruiter can give you that honest feedback so you can continue to improve yourself as a professional. – Gabriella Calise, Manager of Marketing and Client Services, EDI Staffing
