We all are aware of the
recruitment industry and its hard hitting demands especially if any of us
belong to this profession or have earlier been associated with it. We know how
difficult it becomes at times to deal with recruiters. Like any other
profession, it too has its way of operating, and the professionals also require
to be treated tactfully. So when it comes to the fresh graduates, who are now
prepping up to enter the professional world, they do need a reality check of
this profession.
It has been observed
closely in the journey of Mr. WilliamAlmonte, the way he dealt with recruiters at the beginning of his career.
So there are certain things that should be known by everyone before considering
recruitment as a profession. We have brought some of the factors in light
shortly that you should know before seeking help from recruiters to get a job.
Contract Based Recruiters
In such cases,
recruiters get paid by the employers only when they place candidates successfully
for the required vacancy.
Retained Contracts
Recruiters do not
usually obtain this type of contracts, though recruiters get paid upfront by
the company. Despite knowing that recruiter may or may not be able to fill up
the vacancies.
Guarantees
It is mostly seen or
heard that recruiters are giving away guarantees to their clients. The
assurances they give are sort of risk management to ensure the company is not
left with a vacant position after any employee is gone. The guarantee in the
industry works on the standard prorated basis of 30 days, 60 and 90 days
respectively.
The general manipulation by recruiters
It is very important to
notice that when they are urging you to go to a specified company. If they are
referring it as the best, then you must know, those best companies do not
require the help from recruiters to fetch candidates. Like Google, Apple and
many others, the best itself stand out in the crowd. Hence do not give in their
continuous insistence.
Notice when they are
telling you, that this one is an exclusive job. It supposedly means that they
might have retained their contract. It is better to be a little dubious than
blindly believing them says, Mr. WilliamAlmonte. In that case, you have to pull up your socks and run a research on
your own to validate it.
Apart from this, there
are few more dos and don'ts that you should be aware of while working with recruiters.
The Dos
Ask the recruiters all
relevant questions related to the job that is popping up in your mind in a
polite tone.
The Don'ts
Never opt for any
recruiter or recruiting firm who is charging money in advance from you. Not in
any condition like resume selling services. You should never allow any type of
fee that they are charging unethically.
Do not work further
with a recruiter who is hiding the employer company's name. The chances are
likely to be more for other matters that are kept hidden.
