Career Corner Why recruiters ignore you – And what you can do about it  I wanted to share this article with you about how to best approach recruiters:
Why Recruiters Ignore You (and What to Do Differently) So, what can you do differently to get more attention from recruiters and improve your personal brand with them? Here are a few things I recommend: 1. For the long term, identify recruiters in your profession/industry/city and start developing relationships while you are employed. Try to help them with information, referrals of candidates they need, etc. If you do this when you don’t need them, many will help when you DO need them. 2. Research and identify relevant recruiters who place people in your profession and industry. Conduct web searches, database searches with your local library, etc. Ask people you know in your profession and industry “Do you know any good recruiters? Who would you recommend?” You will have far more success if you approach recruiters who work regularly with people who have your background. 3. For those recruiters you have identified via the previous item, ask for referrals. A referral will have a far higher likelihood of success. Strategize with your contacts so they refer you in a constructive way, not the typical “My friend is looking for a job and I thought you might be able to help her.” To the recruiter, this translates to “Time suck.” 4. For recruiters you must contact without an introduction, read their LinkedIn profiles and web sites. Look for common factors that might be helpful in warming them up during an introductory conversation, such as hobbies, past employers, alma maters, etc. you have in common. “I see you are an Ohio Buckeye. What year did you graduate?” is likely to get your conversation going (or your voicemail returned) and allow you to get some mind share.
