Working with the right external recruiter can often be advantageous when searching for a new role and can even increase the chances of finding your perfect new position.

In this article we explore and summarize the key benefits to working with a reputable recruiter.

What is an External Recruiter?

An external recruiter is a specialist recruitment consultant who works in collaboration with a portfolio of companies with the aim of matching them to the best talent on the market. Recruiters often have different specialisms, so it is important to work with one who is specializing in your field of expertise.

Market Knowledge

A good recruiter will have deep market knowledge and will be able to advise on salary ranges, in-demand skills and changes within the market and sector. In addition, the recruiter will have a thorough understanding on which companies offer the best suited culture and working environment based on your search criteria.

Influence

Recruiters have long standing relationships with internal talent teams and hiring managers and will ensure your profile is seen by the right person. They will also present your profile in the best possible way by video or in person to clearly outline your experience, achievements, expectations, and motivations.

Candidate Experience

It has often been said that candidate's gain a better candidate experience when working with a recruiter. The recruiter should be able to provide deep insights into the hiring process, interview preparation, assist you with negotiating your conditions and guide you through your resignation with your current employer.

Feedback

Throughout the process the recruiter will ensure you receive thorough interview feedback directly from the hiring managers. This can be very helpful as you can often strengthen your performance throughout the process. Additionally, if the process ends with a negative decision, you will still gain detailed reasons as to why you have not been selected which will help with your own personal development and give you a better chance when applying to the next company.

Free

A common question asked is are recruiters free? The answer is yes. The services of a recruiter is completely free of charge and you have the freedom to back out of the process at any time.

GDPR Protected

All recruitment agencies need to be GDPR compliant which ensures your personal details and information are not disclosed to any third parties without your prior consent. Before your CV is formally introduced to a hiring manager, the recruiter will ask you to authorise representation permission via email.

Summary

Working with a recruiter should increase your chances of securing the offer and company you desire. This is due to range of opportunities, market reach, influence, and knowledge sharing. Of course, there are no guarantees you will be successful in every process, but you should receive a good candidate experience and get the chance to explore some amazing new opportunities.
