Comments on: 5 Tips for Helping Recruiters Help You http://www.boomercompass.com/blog/?p=1112 Boomer Outplacement Specialist Mon, 18 Jan 2010 23:05:58 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Bill Vick http://www.boomercompass.com/blog/?p=1112&cpage=1#comment-2883 Bill Vick Wed, 25 Nov 2009 14:00:44 +0000 http://www.boomercompass.com/blog/?p=1112#comment-2883 Although I question the numbers this is a great article on how to effectively get traction with recruiters. With the advent of social media many companies are now rolling their own and beefing up their internal recruitment staff at the expense of external recruiters. However, as reported by Gerry Crispin at CareerXroads 70% or more of all jobs are found through networking the remaining 30% are split between job boards, recruiting firms and advertising. I'd recommend taking a focused approach and making sure your visible with the right recruiters - those working in your niche or industry and with a background of placing people with your credentials. Good article - thanks Kit. Although I question the numbers this is a great article on how to effectively get traction with recruiters.
