What WE look for in a Candidate

Show us who YOU are! Not the 'you' on paper - YOU! The one with motivations, successes, strengths, weaknesses. The real you.

We are here to connect you to the most suitable client possible. Think of us as the 'first interview' in the process, a buffer or filter between you and the client. We take in all of YOU and gauge where your personality will fit in with our employers because at the end of the day, you need to enjoy working with those people. 

Of course skills, experience and presentation all come into play, but we want to know your career plans, dreams and aspirations in order to match you with a role you'll love. 

So, how do you show a recruiter the 'real you' in a professional sense? 

  1. Tell us what YOU want
     

    Give us the BIG picture. The clearer you are about what you want, the more you will stand out from the crowd and the easier it will be for us to find and propose the right opportunity to match your career aspirations. 

  2. Outline your key successes
     

    Ensure you explain not only what you’ve done in previous roles but highlight your key successes. By giving us solid examples of your achievements, we can outline these to our clients. This will give you a strong advantage getting you through to the client interview. 

  3. Highlight your niche skills
     

    Details, details, details! We know the ins and outs of basic skills, but by promoting niche skills you immediately distinguish yourself and become more memorable and marketable. The more information you share about your niche skills the more opportunities and specialised roles will be presented to you.

  4. Be upfront and honest
     

    Communication is key in any relationship. Keep us updated with your job search. Let us know other details like what environment you like/don't like working in, what industry you would prefer, what areas you would/wouldn't travel to, etc. We also expect honesty when it comes to other recruiters. Let us know if you have other roles in the pipeline. Remember, honesty is the best policy and will get you further in the long run.
