How Can You Stand Out To Executive Recruiters - WalkWater Talent Advisors

When you’re looking for a job, you want to approach professional recruiters to help you find the best job possible, where you can fit into the company and also get a good outcome from the recruitment. But, recruiters will only suggest your name to their client companies when they are highly satisfied with you, both in terms of professional degrees and experience, and also your behaviour and capabilities.  So, how do you stand out from the rest to have the recruiters consider you before anyone else? Here are a few tips that may help.

Build relationships beforehand

While we begun the blog with the statement that you look forward to recruiters when you need a job, this is actually not the right practice. Instead, you should build up your network well in advance, even before you need it. You should make yourself known and respected by recruiters even before you need to rely on them. Its not easy to showcase your worth when you’re looking for a job, irrespective of whether you have resigned, are looking for a change of job, or anything else. Instead, you should have your name registered with the best executive search firms in India well in advance. So, the next time a recruiter calls you, don’t cut off the conversation if you aren’t looking for a job. Rather, take the time to speak with them, tell them what you are about, and demonstrate your value, saying that you could get back to them when you are looking for a job change.

Stay prepared with your career documents at all times

Whether you are looking for a job or not, you must always be ready with the required career documents at all times. If your resume is not up-to-date, or optimized to showcase all your experiences, skills, and value proposition, it may not interest recruiters. Impressing recruiters is important even if you aren’t looking for a job change as of now, because a good impression can fetch you a good job when you need one in the future. So, always keep your resume and other documents updated and prepared in advance so that you don’t miss out on any great opportunities.

Stay honest

We all are human, which means none of us is perfect. Everyone has their own flaws, weaknesses, and drawbacks. Never try to hide or spin your credentials and abilities in order to create a good impression. At the same time, don’t inflate your credentials too. Always be honest with the recruiters so that they can provide you an accurate, authentic, and appropriate job opportunity, which can work well for both you and the employer.

Increase your visibility

One way to increase the likelihood of appearing on the radar of executive recruiters is by increasing your visibility and establishing yourself as an industry thought leader. Whenever possible, speak at public events, or participate in panel discussions. This way you can build your credibility. Another way is to have a LinkedIn account, and write articles or create videos that focus on highlighting your industry knowledge.

With these few tips, you can certainly have your name in the good books of even the best executive search firms in India, one like WalkWater Talent Advisors.
