How To Find A Recruiter Online

hey hey! i get this question a BAJLLION times as a recruiter so i figured i would share it with you!

if you are a visual learner like me…here is the link to my youtube where i go over this!

if you just want the tldr….

if you do ‘any’ sort of spamming during the job search…it needs to be focused on recruiters. definitely connect with as many a day as linkedin lets you
make sure you create a ‘note’ every time you message them to make sure your connection goes straight to the top of their inbox
you’re going to have to kiss a lot of frogs i.e. talk to a bunch of recruiters that wont be able to help you BUT always ask for one piece of advice on your resume, linkedin, or how you are carrying yourself as a job seeker
how to actually find us: type in ‘tech recruiter’ in the search bar, go to all filters, fill in location in your area
find a recruiter that has a bare minimum of 2 years experience and at least working at the same company for 2 years….why? bc the bad ones have to bounce around to get any sort of raise bc we are so heavily commissioned
check their activity section and see if they have been active recently (better chance they respond to you the more active they are)
i would really try to find recruiters with more than 2k followers (this is just a personable preference)
if you talk to a recruiter in your area and they don’t have something for you – ask for referrals to other recruiters
If you see a job posting, message the recruiters you know and ask if they know someone or can refer you
