Many advertised roles receive hundreds of applications so it is not surprising that only 20% of job hunters find roles by responding to advertisements or by working through recruiters. With relatively low success rates it is worth spending time considering how best to succeed when responding to adverts or working with recruiters. The following two sub-sections look at this in more detail:
a) Responding to advertised vacancies
b) Applying via a recruiter
Before we do, it might be worth explaining why these two sections (recruiters & adverts) are addressed together when they seem quite different. Whilst the approach to using each service may be different, there is much in common. Both are usually working to fill a specific position, both require you to get past ‘gatekeepers’ in order to get to decision makers, and both usually require an application process. However, for clarity and because the advice does differ, the following section has been split into two – though there is some duplication in both.
