6 Tips to Help You Find the Right Recruiter for You

Tuesday, February 8th, 2011

Finding a recruiter that best matches your personality, professional needs, and profile can be difficult under the best of circumstances. The best time to find one is while you are employed. Locating one at this time allows you to be more particular. Building a relationship with your recruiter will take time and effort so it’s important to find the right person from the beginning. You might need to contact several recruiters before you find a good match. It is important to be discreet at this point. You don’t want the word to get out that you are “looking” or to be contacted by recruiters on the prowl for new clients.
