Advice & tips to help you with your job search
Working with a Recruiter
Recruitment agencies like The Headhunters are hired by our clients (companies) to help them fill vacant roles. In most cases, those organizations don’t advertise these jobs on their own—they leave the job postings and recruiting entirely to us as their partner. By including recruitment agencies as part of your job search, you gain access to more job postings and make connections with recruiters who specialize in your field of work.
Our Recruitment Consultants use their years of experience and specialized recruiting expertise to guide candidates through the hiring process to successful placements. We also share job search resources and tips through our website, blog and social media.
Networking
Networking might seem intimidating but reaching out to your connections for advice is an effective way to explore your career options, and often “who you know” will guide you towards your dream more than simply applying through job boards. Polishing up your elevator pitch and learning to conduct informational interviews are key to networking success!
Resumes & Cover Letters
Your resume is the dynamite in your job search toolkit. Often supported by a well-crafted cover letter, the purpose of your resume is to sell you to a prospective employer and convince them to bring you to the next stage of the hiring process.

Interviews
Job interviews are a crucial step in the hiring process, but unfortunately they often strike fear in the hearts of candidates. But fear not! After many years of conducting literally thousands of interviews, we’ve collected our top tips on how to ace them.
Salary Negotiations
Once you’ve made it through the interview process and an employer is ready to hire you, your final step is to negotiate salary, benefits and other forms of compensation.
Job & Culture Fit
People are usually looking for jobs that aren’t just the right match for their skillset, experience and education, but are also the right fit for your working style, values and goals. We use our Workstyle & Performance Profile to bring a scientific approach to assessing fit.
Social Media
Social media is a key part of job hunting and hiring. It allows job seekers to learn more about potential employers and vice versa. In some cases, social media sites also offer their own online job boards, such as LinkedIn Jobs and Facebook Jobs. As a candidate, you should be mindful about what you post on social media (what impression are you leaving for a potential employer?) but you should also think of social media as a powerful tool to help in your job search.
