Working with a recruiter

Working with a recruiter
Mark Smith:
How's the weather in Melbourne?

Chelsea:
Standard Melbourne, Mark. On and off, a bit cold lately. I've had the heater on while working from home. Thanks for having me today, Mark. It's great to be here.

Mark Smith:
Yeah, we shouldn't be talking about the weather, particularly when you're based in Melbourne. Let's talk about some tips on engaging a recruitment consultant if you're a job seeker or looking to hire somebody. What are they?

Chelsea:
Firstly, let's go through a few benefits of working with recruitment agencies. More opportunities, bridging the gap between job seekers and organizations, saving time, and providing expert advice. Now, here are some tips to foster a great working relationship with recruiters and land your next job. Keep your resume up to date, know your goals, be honest about your motivations, follow through with commitments, and maintain effective communication.

Mark Smith:
Recruiters are here to help, and the relationship goes both ways. Now, Chelsea, can recruiters help me write my CV?

Chelsea:
Certainly, some agencies can provide assistance. At People2People, we offer tips for you to implement yourself, ensuring your CV is structured correctly.

Mark Smith:
Great. Brendan on LinkedIn mentions he's an experienced sales manager looking to self-sponsor for a work visa. Chelsea, what's your advice?

Chelsea:
Not many agencies can assist with work visas, but some companies may help. Unfortunately, agencies can't help secure a visa. Brendan, ensure you have working rights already.

Mark Smith:
And Semrendra talks about getting an opportunity from India with legal experience. Similar situation, agencies can't assist with visas. Chelsea, thank you for joining P2P Live. Hopefully, we'll see you again soon.

Chelsea:
Thanks so much, Mark. Have a good day. Bye.
