Top guidelines for working with global executive search firms in India

These days one name that is doing the rounds in the minds of every job seeker is to get the right global executive search firm in India for them, which can help them find the right job that will help them grow. But because of the extensive presence of such firms, getting the right ones, seems to be an onerous task.  Below you can find the top guidelines, which will help you in working with these firms:

 

ゆ  Select the right firm

You need to decide whether you want a retained, contingency, research based or contract based firm, which has its presence globally.

ゆ  Interviews and meetings with the search firms

You need to partner with your recruiter, then only something good will come. Never take these interviews lightly, as these interviews often act as the foundation of mutual trust and opportunities. Treat this interview as important as any of the job interview.

 

ゆ  Go for one firm only

More the merrier, is not, the adage to be applied here. More is never better in this field. It gives a wrong impression to the companies when you are represented by more than one firm. This may even get you knocked out from being even considered for the job.

ゆ  Do not pay the company.

Understand the fact that you are not the client, instead are the solution. Hence, you are not required to pay the company in case you get placed in a company. The employer will pay the fee to the recruitment search firm.

 

ゆ  Use your own network

Getting enrolled in an executive search firm may not provide you with a job. You need to follow a proactive approach. Keep using your own network to search for new job openings and keep going for interviews. Use referrals and friends for getting interviewed at different companies. The whole idea is not to sit ideal once you get yourself registered with an executive search firm.
