Headhunting to find a job, how to use headhunting to help you find a better job

Introduction

Nowadays, society is developing rapidly, but the sense of trust is gradually decreasing. When there is a relationship of interest, anyone’s instinctive reaction is: Is this a trap? Is he trying to trick me again? However, this kind of self-isolation can easily cause you to miss many opportunities, especially in the workplace. One wrong step and one wrong step will ultimately affect your future!

There are specialties in the technical industry, and candidates must clearly understand that headhunting is not about saving money for the company, but about placing the best people in the most appropriate positions. The essence of headhunting is to recommend people, not HR.

In the eyes of headhunters, the salary the company pays you is not determined by your ability and contribution, but by how much the position is worth at the time. Obviously headhunters understand this better.

In terms of experience, headhunters dare to face the company directly and negotiate salary on an equal footing. However, candidates must be at a disadvantage when negotiating salary with companies. The headhunter and the company are equal partners, while the candidate and the company are in an employment relationship. Based on both relationships, salary negotiations are definitely at a disadvantage.

So please give the headhunter a little trust, which will be of great help to your future career! Opportunity

People often make the mistake of thinking that opportunities are waiting for them here. In fact, the opportunity is fleeting.

When a headhunter recommends a position to you, it should be an opportunity among millions of people to choose. While you feel honored, you must take it seriously. We often encounter situations where headhunters recommend a position. Most people say they will consider it without doing any in-depth understanding and do not reply within 24 hours. 90% of them have not considered it. Please remember to give the headhunter an answer as soon as possible at your convenience. Even if you really do not consider the position, make it clear. In this way, the headhunter should recommend you even if there is a good opportunity.

Participate promptly and at any time or seek interview opportunities: Nowadays, large companies often adopt multiple channels for recruitment, and some find several headhunters for assistance. If you don't actively participate in the headhunting process, you can only end up with "thousands of sails passing by the side of the light boat, and thousands of spring trees in front of the diseased tree." Moreover, generally vacant positions have deadlines, and the position will be filled as soon as it is available, and you will not wait for a specific person. Resume

If you are interested in the position, please rewrite a resume in person as soon as possible and send it to the headhunter as soon as possible (preferably within 4 hours). Some people think that a simple resume is fine and there is no need to write too much. Some people also took out their previous resumes and handed them over to the headhunters. This is not appropriate. The resume should be full and flesh-and-blood. At least include the following parts: personal information, work experience, and educational experience. The work experience is the most important, generally including company, start and end time, title, job responsibilities, projects, achievements achieved, and reasons for leaving. Among them, job responsibilities are the most important and reflect what you have done in the company. Generally, each company has about 7-8 job responsibilities. Please note: In fact, a good resume is targeted and should be modified and supplemented according to the requirements of the recommended position. Interview

If the headhunter notifies you of Phone Interview or Face to Face Interview, congratulations on entering the first level.

There's a lot to be aware of here, even if you think you're a master at interviewing. Preparing for the interview includes familiarizing yourself with the company introduction given to you by the headhunter. You can search for the company information on the website. Research the job requirements and prepare accordingly. See where your strengths are, where your weaknesses are, and how to express them. Be familiar with the company location and remember the interview time. Please wear formal attire for the interview, be on time, be polite, smile, look at the other person's eyes, and speak into the person's eyes. Treat others with respect. Some candidates gave feedback such as: "The interviewers don't know anything", "Their skills are not as good as mine...".

Even if you are really better than them, please be humble. Maybe they are discussing the issue in a low profile to see your reaction. It is better to keep the interview conversation simple and direct. If you have something to say, talk more and if there is nothing, say less.

Several situations that headhunters often encounter:

Too far away from home - no one is willing to waste too much time on the wheel. But why did you agree to go to that company in the first place? You have persisted for several years, but now why do you pay attention to the problem of being too far from home?

Too much pressure - Modern fast-paced society requires good pressure-bearing ability, and the positions here are also very stressful. What should you do?

The task is too high and difficult to complete - the standards are similar to others, but some can complete it. Will your performance be good if you come to our company?

Family reasons----The wife or husband is not supportive. Will I support what you do in our company in the future?

Work in the company is not going well, and the boss is not good - it is taboo to say that one's company or boss is not good.

When asked about your career direction, you may feel that the question is a big one and you can doodle as much as you like. But please seriously consider whether the position offered to you by the headhunter can really realize your "great ambition"? You have to know that some positions need to be aggressive, but some positions actually need to be surefooted.

If the job requirements focus on doing specific things and you insist on saying that you want to be a manager or a manager, how can you succeed? When you encounter several people interviewing you one after another, the situation is often like going to Wat Pho with the Big Buddha in the back. Don't think that you will relax at the end. You need to maintain good condition and persist until the last level. Offer and Reference Check

If you receive an offer, the next step will be for you to provide your original company’s contacts, colleagues and/or superiors, and the headhunters will do a background check. You can say hello to them in advance. You can usually pass here, but you have to take it seriously. I hope you will keep the job change secret to yourself. The headhunter does not want you to disclose your job search before things are 200% successful. The headhunter does not want to cause you any trouble. Even if you get an offer, it's good to hold on for a while because surprises can happen.

Headhunters contact many people every day, and their memory sometimes suffers from huge errors. When communicating at any time, they may not be able to remember who you are or treat you as another person. Please remind the headhunter in time. When contacting a headhunter, it is best to first inform them of your name and what you said last time. If the headhunter issues a report or there is no information within a week after your interview, please take the initiative to call the headhunter to learn about the situation. The greatest joy of a headhunter is to help you successfully find a job and make you satisfied with your new job!
