How many recruiters have you worked with over the years? None? Five? Twenty? We\u2019d bet that the more recruiters you\u2019ve worked with, the more wary you\u2019ve become. Unfortunately, there are a number out there who give the rest of us a bad rap! At Tiger, we really do pride ourselves on a partnership approach \u2013 our goal is to work closely with candidates so as to match them to their dream roles.<\/p>\n
Recruiting PA roles in London<\/a>, for example, requires careful consideration of skills against job requirements, thinking about candidate competencies, the business\u2019s culture fit and personalities of the team, not to mention alignment of long-term goals! The recruitment of one PA role alone can require a whole load of ball juggling, so it makes sense that to optimise results and secure the most promising interviews, a recruiter and candidate must work closely together. These are our tips on how to enhance the relationship with your recruiter\u2026 and secure great interviews.<\/p>\n Stay in touch and keep us updated<\/strong><\/p>\n This is probably one of the most important pieces of advice we can give, as we do a huge amount of background work in the office when shortlisting candidates for roles; that said, the only way we can do this successfully is knowing your status. Keep us posted of your availability and where you\u2019re up to in your job hunt, even if it\u2019s just a weekly email update. If you update your CV<\/a>, send it through to us to keep on file. If you\u2019re no longer actively looking or have secured something, let us know.<\/p>\n Make a list of your dream companies<\/strong><\/p>\n At the start of the job hunt, tell us honestly what your professional goals are and who you hope to work for. Part of our role involves proactively speaking to businesses about the great candidates we have on our books, even if they\u2019re not actively recruiting for a role. If you have the right experience and we think you\u2019d be a great fit, we\u2019ll open the doors and introduce you to them.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t back out of your commitments once you\u2019ve agreed to be our candidate<\/strong><\/p>\n If you\u2019ve agreed to see this through, don\u2019t toy with us if you\u2019re not serious about the opportunities we\u2019re working on together. Don\u2019t make it a difficult to organise interview times, or change your salary expectations halfway through the process. One of our pet hates is working with candidates closely, negotiating job offers, then see them leveraging in an attempt to negotiate a pay rise from their current employer.<\/p>\n Work on your interview techniques<\/strong><\/p>\n When was the last time you undertook training for your interview style? Wrote out interview questions and practised them with a friend? We strongly urge all our candidates \u2013 especially those inexperienced at interviewing – to practise their interview techniques at minimum with a friend, or ideally with a qualified trainer.<\/p>\n We want to secure you great interviews just as much as you! If it was up to us, we\u2019d want to follow our candidates in their career growth throughout their working lives. Get in touch<\/a> today to take the next step in your career now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How many recruiters have you worked with over the years? None? Five? Twenty?
