The Honest Recruiter
The Honest Recruiter?
No matter how the market is performing in Recruitment, there is never any excuse for dishonesty.
Unfortunately, we have had alot of comments made to us from our job seekers about the level of dishonesty in the Recruitment market in recent times.
Most common complaints -
- Advertising jobs that do not exist
- Making promises to find a job seeker a job
- Telling Client Companies you can fill their job in X amount of time
- Telling job seekers you will send their CV to a Company and then not
- Not informing job seekers you have sent their CV to a Company - this is illegal practice
- Promising job seekers you will get back to them with feedback on their CV submission and then not
- Promising job seekers you will keep in touch and then not
This is all misleading and unprofessional Recruitment Practice and does not abide with the NRF guidelines for Best Recruitment Practice.
This gives the Recruitment Industry in Ireland a bad name
Recruitment is a very responsible and worthwhile job.
As a Recruiter, you take job seekers future and career in your hand - this should be handled professionally and carefully.
In recent times, the decline in the Recruitment market has led to some dismal practice and short cuts and this needs to be stopped.
Our job seekers trust us that we will do our very best for them, this sort of practice leads to a lack of confidence and trust in us.
For further infomation on Best Practice in the Recruitment Industry in Ireland, go to -
www.nrf.ie
This is for Clients and Job Seekers and every Recruiter in the country should know it, practice it and live by it every day of their working life as a Recruiter.
Honest and Integrity as a Recruiter brings Awards

Your CV Personal Profile is essential
Your Personal Profile on your CV is essential in today’s jobs market - you cannot submit your CV for a job without one.
When a potential employer receives an average of 50 CV’s today for 1 job, your Personal Profile can be the determining factor as to whether he/she will look at your CV in more detail, or not.
Employers use them as a guide to you!
Your Personal Profile is your one chance to highlight yourself and point out why you should be seriously considered for the job.
Your Personal Profile is your introduction to you - your chance to sell yourself, your chance to shine and stand out from the crowd.
Without one, the CV has no introduction and simply becomes a black and white list of your life.
Your Personal Profile should be one paragraph, approx 5 sentences outlining where you have come from and where you are going.
It can be used to sell yourself to a particular job and altered accordingly.
It can be used to rule out the competition.
It can be used to highlight your biggest achievements or used as a Sales ‘brag list’
These days, you cannot afford to have a CV without a Personal Profile at the top of it which takes minutes to draft but can alter your career path
A CV without a Personal Profile is like buying a new computer with no instructions!
So remember, you must have a Personal Profile on the top of your CV - do not send your CV anywhere without one.

Use the 'Mirror Technique' to prepare for your interview
The pre interview ‘Mirror Technique’ is a very effective way to prepare for an up and coming interview.
We are asked every day for advice and information on how to present yourself at interview.
One of the techniques we highly recommend is to sit in front of a mirror and interview yourself.
Another option is to ask a friend or family member to interview you, but this has disadvantages - you can become self conscious, giddy or the feedback may not be too honest! -
A mirror never lies!
This is a very useful exercise for the following reasons -
- Do you smile enough
- How much you fidget
- How much you use your hands and gesticulate
- To observe your general body language which is 84% effective, or not in an interview situation
- Are you casual or professional
- Do you slouch
- Do you look to the left or right
- Are you rigid or relaxed
By playing the role of both interviewer and interviewee, you can observe how you come across to others.
This is concentrating on Body Language and in an interview situation, this is all important
Content of your interview is another matter dealt with seperately, but this ‘Mirror Technique’ focuses primarily on how you come across
In many interview training sessions, videotape is used and played back and this is a similar method to see how you sound, look and come across at an interview.
Unfortunatley, many of us do not have the relevant equipment at home to do this, but we all have access to a mirror!
Remember, when attending an interview, practice the ‘Mirror Technique’ beforehand so you are aware how you come across and have given youself the chance to improve anything you are not happy with BEFORE the actual interview.
Good luck!

Other people's opinions
Other people’s opinions can be dangerous - always check it out before making a decision based on them.
We have had 2 recent episodes where our job seekers had been told by other people negative things about the Company they were applying to for a job and nearly pulled out as a result.
This is where word of mouth can be dangerous.
Check out the facts yourself first before making such a critical decision regarding your career and life balance.
Both cases were unfounded and it transpired that these were ex Medical Sales Reps who had left both Companies on a bad note and were both spreading negative feedback about these Companies down the Medical Sales Grapevine.
If you are a job seeker, you need to be very thorough in your methods and your research.
It is okay to hear negative things about the Company you are considering, but check it out - try to get a balanced non biaised opinion.
We are very thorough as Recruitment Consultants within the Medical Industry and will know whether rumours or word of mouth is true or not as we know our Client Companies very well and can therefore advise.
However, it is still imperative you seek out both sides of story and DO NOT let one person’s opinion dictate your career path.
