Recruiting: Why You Should Take That Call

Recruiters can seem like a hassle at times, but when you’re in the market for a new job position (or, even when you’re not), it is important to respect their call or email and hear what they have to say.

As Executive Recruiter Thomas Carter points out on his LinkedIn, a recruiter has most likely done his or her homework before they’ve contacted you – including working with the hiring company on the specifics of what they’re looking for and identifying you as a potential candidate. In our experience, professional recruiters are very good at matching good candidates with well-defined openings. That’s why they’re pros.

In the hospitality industry, many hires can also be made through word of mouth, recommendation, or a search online. No matter the method, someone has taken the time to reference you or seek you out. Whether it may seem like a position you desire or not, taking a few minutes to speak with a recruiter is not only polite and professional, but gives you more experience with the pre-interview process. And, hey….you never know.
