Their goal is o make the best match between the candidate and the company that's looking to.employ someone. As one of New York's leading headhunters, here is some advice I give to candidates to make them the obvious choice for the position they are competing for. Look upon your CV not as a record of your past but as @ statement of what you could do for that company in the future, ifthey employ you. Prepare a separate CV for every company you approach. Find out as much as possible about what the job requires, and then add a paragraph at the top of your CV that says how you will specifically do that job in a way that targets the needs of the manager you will be working for. That way, you will stand out as someone who will help the employer, not just someone who is looking for a job. Ifyou send your CV to Hurnan Resources, the department responsible for the recruitment of new staff, itis highly likely that it will get lost or just fled away. We headhunters try to avoid HR departments as they can be inefficient, So should you. You need to go directly tothe person who will be making the hire. Ifthe job advertisement explicitly asks for a CV to be sent to HR, do, It, but send another one fo the manager who Is making, the ultimate decision for the job explaining what you've done, So while all he other candidates are stil waiting to, be interviewed by HR, the person who will make the final, decision about who to hire already knows who you are. 0 that you feel confident when you walk into the Interview, you need to know not just about the position Itself, but how It fits within the structure of the company. That means doing a lot of research beforehand. Learn ‘about the company in greater depth than just reading the homepage of thelr website. Find out its challenges ‘and goals, iis culture and competitors, and call Its products Now you are ready for the interview. Treat it as fit were the fist day on the job. You are there fo present a new project, which is the advantages of hiring you’. Turn the interview around by asking what problems the manager hopes to solve by employing you. They might start by giving you a list of your daily duties or tell you itis o replace someone who is leaving. You nay have to make it clear that you are asking more about what they hope fo gain from you as an employee, rather than, just the day-to-day things they expect you to do. This ‘demonstrates your extra enthusiasm and flexibility. When you get a clear idea of whats they are looking for, such as higher profits or more clients, this is your moment to outline the steps you would take to do this. Show the manager how you think and work by suggesting what you would do fo reduce costs or broaden the client ‘base. Candidates are rarely so forward thinking in an Interview and for this reason this strategy Is very effective, You will come across as a person who understands the job and is prepared to do it. Who doesn't want fo ‘employ someone who wants fo solve problems and ‘achieve goals? This s the fundamental reason for the Interview. A company holds interviews soit can hire the best person for the job. Your interviewer will be delighted If that person tums out fo be you - because then they can stop interviewing and get back to work.
