Search Consultants can be a valuable resource whether you are currently seeking a new job or happy in the one you are in. We’ve included some handy tips below for the next time a Search Consultant reaches out to you.
- Always take a call from a Search Consultant and try to be helpful. Even if you aren’t looking to change your career, a relationship with a Search Consultant can prove valuable when you decide you do need a change.
- Search Consultants can provide valuable information with which you can benchmark your current role (salary, responsibilities, title, etc.).
- Networking Opportunities – It’s never too late to start building your network.
- Always learn more about opportunities when presented – you may find you are more interested in the position than you originally thought or know someone who could be a good fit. Additionally, having information on industry trends in leadership roles is powerful knowledge.
- When conducting a job search always use personal email and cell phone accounts and take calls in a private place where you can’t be overheard; never use company email for job correspondence.
