From the course: Insights from a College Career Coach
Increasing your visibility with recruiters
Jeff Layton: Here's another member question: How can someone who is currently unemployed increase their visibility with recruiters? Valerie Sutton: Are you talking about executive recruiters? Jeff: I don't know, am I? Valerie: Well, there's actually three different types of recruiters that you're talking about, and I would spend my time getting visibility with employees, so you can get that employee referral. Recruiters, then, are less important, but if you really want to get in front of an executive recruiter--let's say you're at more senior level--you have to have your story down, of why you have had this transition and really how you fit with their organization, because they get paid by the corporation that they're working for; they are not getting paid by you, and so for them to work with you, they have to see the benefit.
