Working with an IT Recruiter – Communication is Key
IT recruiters are constantly looking for candidates to fill positions for IT jobs. They go through resume after resume looking for qualifications. However, a resume can only say so much. The important piece to any successful IT job placement is communication.
Build a relationship with IT recruiters and use a few different IT staffing agencies that you feel comfortable with. Let the IT recruiter get a sense of your personality and the kind of environment you are looking for in an IT job. The more they know about you, the more accurate they can be with their IT job opportunities. Be open and honest with the IT recruiter and expect the same in return. Set expectations from the start.
In addition, keep in touch with the IT recruiter, as it will help make you stand out and ensure he or she turns to you first when the appropriate IT job opens up. Lastly, finding a new IT job is all about networking. IT recruiters are networking on a daily basis, by connecting with them (ie Linkedin); you’re significantly increasing your personal network as well.
