How should you treat a recruitment agent when beginning your job search? Here are some tips on how to use a recruitment agent to increase the success rate of your job change!

How to Use a Job Search Agent Wisely

Once you have met with a recruitment agent and have been introduced to jobs, what kind of relationship can you build to increase your chances of a successful career change?

Look through as many jobs as possible and let them know what you think.

Read through as many jobs as possible that are presented to you by the recruiter and give them your overall impression of the job. Asking for background on the job will increase your satisfaction with the job.

Also, if the jobs you are introduced to do not match your expectations, let them know what you think and ask them to change the lineup of jobs.

Report how it feels to have interviewed with a company.

Some companies may give priority to candidates who are more likely to join the company. Therefore, if a company is highly motivated to join the company, a "conditions interview" may be set up to discuss conditions with the company and resolve any concerns or dissatisfaction with the candidate's ability to join the company. Reporting a feeling also has the benefit of setting up an interview with a company that is highly motivated to join the company.

Be sure to report any changes in circumstances.

Be sure to inform your recruitment agent of any changes in your schedule or desired conditions, such as early retirement or changes in conditions due to family opposition. They will be able to modify your job search plan to accommodate the change.

Tips on how to work well with a recruitment agent

How should you interact with a recruitment agent in order to get the right support and make your job change successful? There are two main tips for getting along well with them.

Respond as soon as possible.

Be sure to respond to and report on your recruitment agent's emails. In particular, if you are slow to reply or do not reply to an interview scheduling contact, other job applicants may be selected and the job opening may be filled...

Companies also want to hire the most highly motivated people possible. If a company does not respond or is extremely slow to respond to job offers and schedule adjustments, it may affect the company's impression of you. The quicker you can respond, the better your chances of success.

Be honest about what you care about.

A recruitment agent is basically an ally of the job seeker. If there is something that is bothering you, but you are unable to say it out loud and have concerns, try to express your true feelings as much as possible.

By clearly stating the level of your request, such as "I don't want to be rushed into changing jobs," "I want more frequent job introductions," or "I want specific advice," the recruitment agent will work with you to meet your needs.

By properly communicating your true feelings, you will receive the support that is right for you.
