Can Head Hunters Help with Entry Level Job Searches?

Should you use an head hunter if you’re an entry level applicant? Headhunters earn their living by matching job applicants with job openings, and their success is based on how accurate they are. For job applicants, they’re also a great way to gain access to the many jobs that never get listed publicly and a chance to get a foot in the door of companies. I have found a great job through a recruiting agency and it could be something that could work for you as well.
When you’re shopping for a recruiter to represent you, find someone who specializes in your field—someone who knows your industry and your profession. Although most head hunters might not represent entry level candidates, there are some companies out there. You could ask people who work in the industry you want to get into for recommendations or head over to your local library and check out the Directory of Executive Recruiters, a list of the headhunters.


Once you find a recruiter who you‚Äôre interested in having represent you, send your resume along with a cover letter. Include information about the type of salary you‚Äôre looking for, the industry you want to enter, and where you want to work. Don’t call before sending your materials. If your resume shows you to be a good fit for a position the head hunter is trying to fill, he or she will soon be in touch with you for more information.
If the head hunter has an entry level position in mind for you, remember to ask questions about the position. Expect the recruiter to take the time to prep you for the interview. He or she should take the time to let you know who you’re going to be interviewing with and what they’re looking for. Also, the headhunter should also call after the interview to give you feedback from the employer and get your thoughts about the job.
