Executive Search Firms Or Job Portals Best Way To Search Jobs
Are you in a dilemma where to look for his next job quickly, still retaining confidentiality?
Here we evaluate few common ways of searching a job i.e placements consultants, job portals and employee referrals. As we are a company in executive search in india, we understand ins and outs of these very well.
Search by forwarding your resume to few of the top executive search companies has its own advantages and drawbacks, while the same is also applicable to a search through job portals.
First lets take executive search companies. Big task here is to first find out few top recruitment companies which actually handle successfully large volumes of hiring assignments at your level and in your kind of industry. Like for top level hiring few successful consultants are Mukul Consultants, Mafoi, Manpower etc. Google can somewhat help you in such a task. Once you find few big ones, try speaking to few of them if they have any relevant openings currently (answer will normally be yes, even if they dont have it). Forward your profile to consultants which show interest in the same. There is no need to search and forward your resume to small consultants, it may just waste time. First advantage of going through placement agencies is that you can be sure of confidentiality. Second advantage is that many big corporates only depend on these search firms for their recruitment. Third and the most important is that major consultants can make a real difference to your selection chances, as they are trusted and relied by their clients and do influence decisions of the employers.
Job portals these days have become an excellent source to search jobs very quickly. The day you upload your profile on the portal you start getting job options. Though I represent a top placement consultant, i still suggest job portals as the best and the fastest way to make your job search at all levels. Be cautious to make it confidential as your current employer can always track your profile. While making it confidential, use nick names, alternate email id/ phone no. Your question would be how job portals can give numerous and immediate responses. Its simply because they are used by thousands of consultants and direct employers. These day all majors consultants (including the ones you may approach directly) use job portals like Monster, Dice, Naukri etc. Major drawback here is that your resume becomes a public property, your current employer may see it, you may get too many calls for useless openings, your mailbox may become redundant due to flooding of job offers and you may keep getting calls even when you have found one and tried blocking your profile.
Third way of job search can be employee referral, especially in sectors like IT & BPO where employee referral is used extensively. So if you have a known person in your dream employer, reach out to him, and he would be more than happy to sponsor your profile (after all he will get the employee referral fee from his company). This is a highly preferred way of recruitment (for yourself and companies) as selection chances are high and cost for employer companies is low
So go hunting & Best of Luck
