The search 🔍  for someone can prove to be just as interesting as finding them..

What do recruiters think about when they're on a quest to find the next best talent for their talent? 🤔🤔🤔

We wouldn’t ask you a question without also presenting you the answer — we’re just super nice like that ☺️.

Get into it for an extensive understanding of the ins and outs of recruiter strategies so that you know what to look out for next time 🤓.

1. The Company's Competitors 😅😅😅

In a rapidly growing space like the Creative and Tech industry, intensive investments means talent gets snapped up quickly, and companies need to set themselves apart to attract the best people for their teams.

In a bid to stay ahead, expect recruiters to be on the lookout for those with evidence of extensive skills and knowledge which align with the modernity of our time.

Yes, the rise in technology speaks directly to this as we are moving towards an age where tech rules all.

1. How To Grab A Potential Candidates Attention 👀👀👀

You’re not the only one trying to impress here🙂.

Recruiters need for you to want them just as much as they want you.

Expect to be advertised a really convincing package in addition to attractive salaries.

Other employee benefits may include remote working, unlimited paid time off, discount packages, health insurance and more.

1. How To Assess A Candidate's Skills 🤓🤓🤓

There's only so much that can be documented in a resume 📝, and a recruiter needs to put measures in place to accurately and fairly test the candidate's abilities.

Many businesses are getting creative 🧑🏽‍🎨 with their interview processes for this exact reason.

More and more companies are measuring creativity and capabaility with surprise hands-on 👋🏿 tasks to see how many balls a candidate can juggle  and if their instinctive responses align with said company.

1. Background Knowledge Of The Required Role ✅✅✅

In order for recruiters to find the right fit 👠, they need to have a good understanding of the responsibilities of the role they're recruiting for.

The more sound your knowledge 🧠 is, the better your prospects of getting the position.

Research, research 🔬  and research some more. That way you know what you’re in for, what to expect and what requests you can or cannot make for the role 🫡.

1. Industry Trends 📈📈📈

With the rise in technology driving our day-to-day lives, recruiters surveying industry trends for their next move has naturally become a consequence.

This could be related to the channels applicants are using to find jobs, what they're expecting from employers, and other socioeconomic factors.

Think like a business and stay on top of industry trends to understand what choices businesses are making, why and how that can relate to you.

1. Company Culture 👥👥👥

In order to hire someone who is the right fit for the team, the recruiter needs to understand the dynamics of the company they're hiring the talent for.

It would be a big faux pas for them to hire a person who describes themselves as “super extroverted and chatty” on their CV for a funeral parlour 🤨🤨🤨.

Put simply, it all needs to make sense. The way of the individual hired will be sure to align with the way of the company the recruiters are working in the interest of.

Consider if you align with the organisation you’re interested in and how you would depict that to the recruiters hiring 👋🏿.

As a creative, staying on top of your craft, your clients, the industry you’re in AND what recruiters are looking for is at least 3 people’s full-time job 😮‍💨.

With our help, you won’t just be doing it but doing it well.

In the same way that as a creative a lot of what you do - whether it’s how you advertise or what products you use - is shaped 🟨 by what trends are being pushed the same often goes with recruiters looking to push the interest of their clients 🫱🏽‍🫲🏿.
