Post jobs, manage candidates, & hire faster. Start for Free what you do for a living or what the job we’re recruiting you for entails. Although we will gladly accept the assignment to search for a CIO, for example, we might have no idea about what makes a good one or whether this job will advance your career. In other words, we are generalists in a world of specialists. So do your research and do not expect us to give you well informed answers to your questions about the company or job responsibilities. 2. “I haven’t read your résumé or cover letter.” Our decision about whether to call you for an opening is based on a 5 to 10second glance at your résumé. So make sure we can quickly spot the essential information. Boil your bio down to a maximum of two or three pages. Consider adding an executive summary at the top, letting us know what makes you special. For instance, “MBA, 15 years sales leadership, fluent Spanish,” will get your message through, even if the recruiter doesn’t read the rest of your résumé. Avoid hackneyed words like, “dynamic,” “proven track record” or TMF GroupVoice Local Knowledge Is The Key To Success In Latin America ForbesBrandVoice ?

Although only one candidate will be hired, our aim is to get positive feedback on all of them. Our fantasy is for a client to say, “The four candidates you presented were all fantastic. I will retain A and B and as a backup also C and D. You wowed me and I will never ever again work with anyone else.” Recruitment is part science and part art. If we have invited you to meet us, we did so because we thought that you could do the job; that’s the technical part–“the science.” Your motivation, attitude and presentation are “the art.” Once you make it to the interview with us, focus on these three. Impress us, and we will be confident to work with you. 4. “You are not competitive in today’s labor market.” There’s no Recommended by Forbes MOST POPULAR Photos: The World's Highest Paid Athletes 2015 Billionaire Bunkers: Exclusive Look Inside the World's Largest Planned Doomsday Escape
