You've made a decision to find new employment, and you've set up an arrangement with a recruiter who understands your objectives and is committed to finding a position that matches your skills and interests. During this process your recruiter will be doing his or her far better represent you to clients looking for new talent.

While employers will work hard to place you, they will need information, cooperation, and feedback from you to be sure they are doing all they can for your career. You can make sure that the placement process goes efficiently by caring for and feeding your recruiter.

Offer Complete Information

First of all, a recruiter will need honest, complete information from you. The recruiter may begin by contacting you to see if you have in mind making a career change. When they do, the most important thing you can offer is a clear indication of whether you're immediately ready to change positions or whether you'll be open to a big change in the future. If you're able to give the recruiter a time estimate on when you might like a call-back, you can save and your recruiter from unwanted "nag calls" to determine if now is the time to work on placement.

When you are looking for a new position, your recruiter will need specific employment and credentialing information from you. Understand that the recruiter is required to verify all the information you provide, so you make it easier on your recruiter if you provide complete contact information for your previous jobs, professional references, and specialized recommendations. Let your professional references know that someone will be calling to confirm your skills, before the recruiter calls. The simpler you make the job for the recruiter, the faster you will be put in a new, better position.

Then you must give the recruiter all the information you have about your qualifications and past work experiences. Make sure your curriculum vitae (CV) is utterly up-to-date. Give you the recruiter with any information such as awards, special accreditations or internships, and any other dissimilarities that will make you stand right out of the crowd. If you have instructors, tutors or previous coworkers that your recruiter can call, it's best if you provide all the information up front. In addition, if there are any lapses in employment or unusual work or educational reference, be sure to explain them to the recruiter at the beginning of the job search. You will lay aside your recruiter enough time and hassle by preparing this information for him or her.

Finally, if you are working with more than one recruiter, be honest about this in advance. The employers will eventually find out, anyway. You don't want two employers sending you to the same job interviewer, or have to suddenly announce that you're no longer face to face market because your other recruiter has found which you job. Keep the recruiter informed.
