IQ PARTNERS would like you to get to know some of our recruiters. Each month we ask one of them the same 10 questions about their lives, the headhunting business, and what you should know as a talent seeker or candidate in the current job market. This month, meet Toronto-based Sales Recruiter, Rhys Metler.
Your resume is what will get you a call back for an interview, but the job interview itself is your time to shine and show that you are the right person for the job. This also means you need to be prepared to answer a plethora of questions about your experience, skills, and potential employer. And you never know which questions they are going to ask until you sit down for the interview
Understanding how to work with a headhunter will not only improve the efficiency of the process, it will also ensure you find the right person for the job – reducing the odds of having to repeat the process again a few months down the road.
Having a competitive compensation structure will not only help you attract the best talent, it can also motivate your team to perform better, help you achieve organizational goals, and lower your turnover rate.
