navigating recruiters - solo show
with taylor desseyn (solo)
- treat recruiters as one of five pillars in your job search alongside networking, cold dms, job boards, and applying directly
- with internal recruiters at your target companies, connect on linkedin, engage with their posts, and build rapport before ever asking for help
- when an agency recruiter has no immediate role, ask how your resume stacks up, what to fix, how your salary expectations compare, and how often to follow up
- before trusting a recruiter who messages you about a job, ask how long they have worked the role, if a contract is in place, who the hiring manager is, and if they have placed people there before
- if multiple recruiters pitch you the same role, getting double submitted can get you rejected, so pick the one who can answer your questions fastest and ask about a right to represent
