Professionals who are happy at their job often find themselves bombarded with unwelcoming calls from recruiters. But when they are in desperate need for recruiters to notice, it becomes hard to get their attention.
Every job seeker would like to stand out from the crowd when looking to land into their dream job. Networking is a big buzz which offers all kinds of ways to reach out to recruiters.
New social technologies like LinkedIn have completely changed this industry. Now recruiters within big corporations can search potential candidates who are marketing themselves on these social sites.
Here are the requirements that will enhance the visibility of a job seeker on recruiters’ radar:
- Target Recruiters On LinkedIn And Twitter
Try to identify group of recruiters on LinkedIn and follow them. Becoming a regular contributor offers a great opportunity for posting meaningful content which will help you know what you’re talking about and will start to breed familiarity among the group. This includes the recruiter and potentially, any hiring manager who is a member.
Twitter is also a great medium for finding and getting noticed by a recruiter. Start engaging with recruiters in the company you are targeting and follow them by retweeting their content, asking them questions and commenting on their tweets.
- Always Be Networking.
Recruiters and clients often hire specifically for their existing professional network and networking abilities. Recruiters will frequently ask who they know as per the professional profile they are looking for, when speaking with people in their networks.
The more actively you will stay in contact with your university and business school alumni, former colleagues and clients, the more often your name is to be recommended.
- Boost Your Online Visibility
Most companies and employers use the Internet to find talent and recruit candidates through social media. To improve your online presence, you could start a blog on a hot topic in your field which will help you build credibility.
Another way to get spotted by recruiters is to have a fully completed online profile with industry keywords woven throughout the page. When recruiters know they have roles opening up they will search the resume database on various recruiting and consultancy sites to find candidates.
- Leverage On-campus Job Fairs
Firstly, look out what companies will be attending the event and ideally, the names of the recruiters who will be there. Then do your homework on each organisation by reading the company’s website as well as any recent media coverage.
While attending a fair, focus on building relationships with the recruiters and once you’ve established a rapport, the person will be more likely to help you get a foot in the door for a job interview at their company.
- Be Specific And Detailed On Your Profile
A recruiter identifies potential candidates in the market who hold the exact skills and experience profile that the business has been looking for. This is mainly referred as recruiter’s “wish list” which includes your qualifications, industries you’ve operated in, exposure to different technologies, clients you’ve worked with and the size of your network.
A good practice is to list this information in a ‘Specialties’ section at the bottom of your summary while mentioning them in the ‘Skills’ section as well. The more these keywords appear in your profile, the higher you will rank in relevant searches. Pay special attention to your profile headline because it can be the most valuable part of your profile in this respect.
- Industry Networking Events
Industry-specific conferences or conventions are great opportunities to rub shoulders with recruiters, so you must take advantage of these meet-ups. With on-campus job fairs, try to find out what companies will be at the event and do your due diligence.
You might reach out to recruiters that you’ve always wanted to and try to involve them in a healthy conversation. One way to edge your request with them is to start a conversation by saying, “I saw that you’ll be at the conference next week. I’d love to connect over coffee for a few minutes and learn more about your organization.”
It is not as hard as it seems to be in the recruiter’s list. Just remember to take a few minutes to update your skills and connect to as many people as you can. In this way recruiters can quickly find you with that opportunity you have been waiting for.
The more you connect and keep yourself updated, the easier it is to stay on recruiters’ radar!
