Search companies:
"How
to catch the eye of a headhunter? It is necessary to broaden the question:
"How to catch the eye of consultant recruiter?" Because in order to
become a headhunter address the subject of hunting, it is necessary that the
customer has ordered the recruitment of it for you. This is possible with the
simultaneous presence of three conditions:
you have to do something extraordinary, to
make, so to speak, personally branded feat of labor, and society should
recognize your personal involvement in the success;
the customer must personally learn about your
connection with the achievement of the;
the customer must be updated need for similar
labor achievements.
It is clear
that the presence of all three conditions - a matter of chance. To increase the
likelihood of better orient their behavior in headhunting and recruiting to
find because of the greater statistical likelihood that it will be effective.
What should
I do? Tirelessly to improve the four major directions:
raise the level of professional competence,
even if now you already consider yourself a "pro" - for each
activity, if you look closely, there is a possibility to buy so much knowledge
that will last for the entire working life;
coaching ability to interact effectively with
others, and not based on manipulation and on the basis of a mutually respectful
partnership - at some point they recognize and appreciate;
cultivate admiration for his work, so instead
of getting it from the constant energy replenishment;
develop creative diligence as a credo.
Since a
person with similar qualities - the dream of any professional consultant in the
field of search and selection, then, once you start with them acquainted (not
just send out resume agencies with quality service, but also to do everything
possible to place a personal acquaintance with recruiters, and these meetings
will try to honestly tell all of their professional merits), I guarantee that
there will be a release from wanting to make you an offer. "
