Reaching Out to the Recruiter Who Helped Me Land My Current Position

Hi everyone,

I’m seeking some advice. I’ve been in my current job for just over a year, and I owe the opportunity to an excellent recruiter.

Now, I’m considering a career change and am wondering if it would be a good idea to reach out to the recruiter who originally placed me.

What are your thoughts on this from a recruiter’s perspective? I figure they already know me and my skill set, which could help expedite the process of finding a new position.

Thank you for your insights!

P.S. I’ve read all the responses and have decided to reach out. I really appreciate your input!

Entry-level jobs aren’t entry-level

Entry-Level Jobs: A Misnomer?

I’ve been job hunting for a few months in the accounting and finance sectors, but I’ve found that even entry-level positions demand at least six months of experience. Despite holding a Master’s degree, I’m struggling to make any progress. To make matters worse, graduating during the COVID period means I’m no longer eligible for graduate schemes.

I’ve even applied for retail positions, but after interviews, I often receive rejections. Additionally, recruiters reach out to me with promises of follow-up but then completely disappear.

I feel incredibly hopeless and inadequate right now. This situation is exacerbating my anxiety and depression. Even though I’m seeking help, the job search feels overwhelming. I start each day feeling motivated, but by nightfall, I find myself in tears, and the cycle repeats.

I welcome any feedback, advice, or support. Thank you!

Recruiting with AI?

Exploring AI in Recruitment

Hello Recruiters! Having transitioned from corporate roles to running my own business, I fully grasp the challenges both job seekers and employers face in the hiring process.

I’ve been contemplating the development of a tool that allows individuals to upload their resumes and LinkedIn profiles, along with any additional information they can provide. This AI-driven solution would then analyze global job postings to identify suitable matches. Once a potential match is found, a qualified recruiter could further ensure the fit.

Is there an existing solution like this on the market? If so, I’m curious about its accuracy and effectiveness. Your insights would be greatly appreciated!

What really matters to employees?

What truly matters to employees?

Employees prioritize:

  • Receiving fair compensation for their contributions
  • Experiencing respect and genuine concern
  • Enjoying flexibility and a healthy work-life balance
  • Valuing transparency, honesty, and a sense of belonging

What employees don’t prioritize:

  • Branded merchandise from the company
  • Social gatherings after work
  • Monthly pizza parties
  • Motivational posters on the walls

Work should complement our lives, not dictate them.

Struggling to generate leads to prospecting clients

Struggling to Generate Leads for Prospective Clients

I’ve recently joined a recruitment agency that’s focused on the crypto sector. While it’s a niche market, I’m sure you all know that generating strong leads is crucial for business success. In the blockchain space, particularly within data science—which is my area of focus—it’s challenging to find top-notch candidates who are not only currently interviewing but also have a wealth of experience.

As a result, I’m not generating as many leads as I’d like, leaving me with limited opportunities. Having only been in this role for four months, I’m feeling the pressure from management to deliver results.

I would greatly appreciate any tips or creative strategies for identifying target companies and generating leads. Thank you!
