Recruiter – assistant or mediator? It is not a problem to change jobs today – there are many job search sites, even more vacancies. Resources are full of promising offers and promising salaries, but when you get acquainted with the “kitchen” of the labor market, it turns out that not everything is as rosy as it seems at first glance. Some vacancies “hang” on sites all the time, which “characterizes” such employers is clearly not the best: if you can not close the vacancy for a year, you either have overstated requirements with a reduced salary, or you just like to “leave” due to constantly changing staff who don’t need to pay too much for the probationary period. There are a lot of “outrageous” vacancies on job sites, when employers want to get the maximum result at a minimum cost: this includes piecework, project, remote and temporary work. This is when you work at home, on your laptop and coffee, without making out, and do not count at the end of the month on a fixed amount. Or work as a specialist of a broad profile, when you need to do everything for everyone, while receiving a salary for one. There is another interesting type of vacancies: these vacancies are nothing. When the description does not say anything specific about the responsibilities and working conditions, but beautiful long phrases assure you that you will find a cozy office, cookies and promising projects. Vacancies of “serious” companies, as a rule, “hang” for a short time, and a mandatory condition for participation in the competition, in addition to experience and Schools, is often an online test, a link to a portfolio or recommendations. Sometimes – all at once. And when, after filling out an online questionnaire for 30 questions and spending an afternoon on a test task, you do not even get feedback – do not be surprised, just “competition” for stable positions in stable companies is really very big and you just “bypassed” more appropriate candidate. Collaboration with a recruiting partner helps save time and effort, as well as nerves. All that is required of you is to send your resume and meet the recruiters, who, after a detailed study of the case of your experience, will offer your candidacy to client companies, taking on the guarantees of reliability and decency of the employer. In parallel, you can even continue to work in your old place, while a recruiting specialist will “promote” you. Agree, it’s much nicer than looking for a job “blindly”: when after sending 50 resumes every day, your phone is treacherously silent…
