There is no doubt, many people simply do not understand what a recruiter does, or what their priorities are day to day. This article shines some light on how to work with a recruiter, not just when you need them but also when they need you.
Building a relationship with recruiters should be a long term goal. They have access to roles at various points of time that do not get advertised. They are busy working on assignments that are tough to fill in many cases, and any insight you can give to potential candidates or industry knowledge will not be forgotten.
Take the call, take some time to understand their work and above all have the manners to return their calls. What goes around comes around, connect with the specialist recruiters in your area and in the long run you will find they can become a valued partner as your career progresses.
Also remember to ensure your online profile is as current as your CV / resume, time can kill all deals. Your ability to present yourself in a motivational, professional and consistent manner are going to be paramount in you making the most of opportunities that come your way.
