Contacting recruiter who helped me secure current role.
Reaching Out to My Recruiter for New Opportunities
Hi everyone,
I’m seeking some guidance. I’ve been in my current position for just over a year, and I owe a big thanks to the fantastic recruiter who helped me land the job.
I’m now considering a new opportunity and I’m contemplating whether it’s a good idea to reach out to the recruiter who assisted me in the past.
What’s the general consensus on this from a recruiter’s viewpoint? I’m thinking that since he’s familiar with my background and skills, he might be able to help me find a new position more quickly.
I really appreciate any insights you have!
Update: I’ve read through all the responses and have decided to reach out. Thank you, everyone!
It sounds like you’re on the right track! Reaching out to the recruiter who helped you in the past is a wise move. Recruiters appreciate when candidates maintain relationships, as they want to help you succeed in your career. Since they already have a good understanding of your skills and what you’re looking for, they can provide valuable insights and potentially introduce you to opportunities that align with your goals.
When you contact them, be sure to express your appreciation for their previous assistance and share any updates about your experience since you started your current role. This will give them a better understanding of your career trajectory and what you’re now looking for. Good luck with your job search!
