- Find a recruiter BEFORE you
absolutely have to have a new job.
Let's be honest, you're probably wasting everybody's time talking
to a recruiter unless you're at least thinking about making a
job change. But the absolute worst time to make first contact
with a recruiter is when you've been, fired, or quit and you need
a new job right away!
The purpose of this first contact with Alliances is to:
- Let us know that you exist & you're sort of looking
around,
- Give the recruiter some idea of your technical talents
- Share with the recruiter your career plans and goals
Some recruiters don't want you to
call them until you're desperate for a new job. First Alliances
believes in working with you from an early stage so we get to
know you better.This helps to prepare us to keep a lookout for
positions that you are looking for.
- Specializing in your talents. A recruiter usually
specializes by geography, technology, or industry, or some combination
of the above. And that is how First Alliances works. Feel free
to share with us your technical field and location preference
or any other personal preferences.
Employers use recruiters to help them find people with special
well defined skill sets. Tell us if you have any special skills
outside of your work. If you're an unrecognized "super star",
recruiters are usually quite good at helping you get recognized
and accelerate the advancement of your career
- Keeping track of opportunities. The information
you share with us helps us to keep you in mind for career-building
positions as they arise. We have a system in place that will tell
us of new positions that are "right up your alley" as
they are uncovered. So it is also very important that you help
us by updating your resumes regularly.
- Provide us with your current
salary information and expectations. Most people find
it hard to discuss something as personal as salaries. And that's
fine. But recruiters need to know this for the following reasons:
- We can’t keep calling you to ask if a package is something
you were looking for.
- Suppose you went to an interview and you loved the company
and the job, the employer liked you but made an offer that
was less that what you wanted, but hadn’t told us. What
would you think of the employer? What would the employer think
of us?
- If we knew what your expectations were, we would not expect
you to take a salary reduction
- Make it easy for us to get and read your latest resume.
We receive a lot of resumes in many different formats whether
by e-mail, post and some are even had delivered. This means it
takes us a lot of time to get absorb everything. That’s
why we have a system to help us to store and retrieve your resumes
and profiles faster. To help us to help you, please update your
resume on our website. It will update your records in our office
and help us to keep track of opportunities that may be suitable
for you.
- General Counseling Our job is to uncover the
best career-building positions then recruit qualified people for
these positions. Part of the recruitment process often includes
some screening, resume "tuning", and briefing sessions
before an interview with the Employer.
