Tips for a Successful Recruitment Process
- Be candid with the recruiter about what job factors are important to you and what are not, such as responsibilities, potential growth, compensation, travel or benefits.
- Communication between you and the recruiter is essential. Tell the recruiter where you have submitted your resume as well as where you have already interviews scheduled to avoid unnecessary duplication.
- Do your homework before the interview; find out as much information as possible about the company and the potential position.
- For all potential positions, you must sell yourself to everyone you meet and at every level.
- Following acceptance of a new job, be wary of counteroffers from your current employer.
Ten Common Mistakes
- The number one complaint from employers is: “Candidates don’t listen first.” Listen to what they say.
- Candidates act as though they are the buyer rather than the seller. Which in some markets may be the case, but at the end of the day the employer has the work and signs the paycheck. You have to sell yourself with everyone you meet and at every level.
- Candidates want to share what their objective is before they listen to what their prospective employers needs are. You can sell your skill set better if you find out what is needed. This also keeps the discussion focused on what the employer wants to discuss.
- Candidates do not do their homework. Before you meet with a company, check out their website, look at the openings, get a feel for who you are going to be talking to by looking them up on their website or LinkedIn.
- Candidates do not break the ice at the beginning. You might notice a picture of children, a sailboat, ski scene artwork, a collection of some kind. Try and find something in common or at least demonstrate an interest in what is of interest to the interviewer. Such as, “I notice you have two young children…. How old are they? Mine are 4 and 2….”
- Candidates have to play to what they want to get the job. When an employer asks you to tell them about yourself, ask them where they would like to begin. Some interviewers want the bottom line and some want to know more about you as a person.
- Candidates should never exaggerate or mislead. Do not invent things that you have not actually done. Never lie!
- Candidates rarely send timely thank you notes. Send a note or email within 24 hours to both the personnel representative and the hiring manager thanking them for meeting with you. Inform them of your interest in the work discussed and suggest that your education and experience are compatible with their needs, and will enable you to make valuable contributions to their efforts.
- Employers hire candidates they would like to work with first. There will always be someone who is as competent as you, so if you are competent and likeable you have the upper hand.
- Finally, do not ask for the job. Ask each individual with whom you meet for their support for that job. It makes them feel good to be asked and shows respect for their role in the hiring process.
