We
all have interacted with mostly all the top
executive search firms present in the country for the purpose of getting a
jump in the career. As we keep changing and ameliorating our career objectives,
we must also do the same for the way we interact and present things to
executive search firms. Here is a list of rules you must follow when
interacting with executive search firms India:
1.
Up to date resume
This is one of the
prerequisites for interaction with job recruiters and making a place for
yourself in their eyes. If you do not update your resume with the past
achievements, there are chances that the executive firms may not contact you
due to missing qualification or experience in your resume which they require
for a particular job position. Hence, the profile must be updated at least once
every year.
2.
Prepare for initial meet
In case you receive a call from
the job search firms, you must be prepared well. Always have a brief summary of
the current job position and responsibilities. Always give an accurate
disclosure; there is no need to say long essay about your current job and
compensation. Also disclose your contacts to recruiters as it will help the
firm in creating job opportunities for you.
3.
Check the legitimacy of the executive firm
Before trusting any firm, check
their credentials on Google or LinkedIn; there you can read the reviews of past
clients. Another way to check its legitimacy is through payment. Any legitimate
executive search consultant will never ask for payment, if they ask they are not
legitimate.
4.
Goals of executive consultant
Always remember that the prime
goal of any recruiting firm is to find the right and desirable candidate for
their client. Their client is not you, but the hiring organisation. In case you
do not fit the requirement, they will jump to the next best alternative. Thus,
don't get disheartened, if one job opportunity slips from your hand, it may be
the case that you are not the suitable choice. But, always keep yourself open
to networking.
