recruiter

If you are a corporate recruiter, you work within a large company, like Microsoft or Google, on a full-time salary. You are responsible for sourcing and screening candidates for job openings within the company. Corporate recruiters are more hands-on than other types of recruiters since they work for the company.

As a contingency recruiter, you get paid when you find the right candidate for your client. You work as a middleman between the company and the client. Your clients can range from large enterprises to small companies.

Working as a retained recruiter means you look for candidates for senior roles in a company. Part of your payment is upfront. You receive the rest when you find the right candidate.

As an outplacement recruiter, you help employees who have been let go from their job. Companies use you to help ex-employees transition into their new positions.

You hire employees for a staffing agency as a staffing agency recruiter. The staffing agency is a go-between between the company and the workers.

As a recruiter, your job is to help businesses or organizations find people to fill job openings. You look at resumes to find qualified people for the job or search for candidates.

You might work for a staffing agency, with a client, or in corporate recruitment agency. You get paid by commission or retainer. People go to you looking for job vacancies, or you may have to go out and find them yourself.

Being a recruiter is not always predictable. Some days you have interviews back-to-back, and other days you visit clients. Some days you spend your time researching and screening candidates. You never know what to expect daily, as new jobs can come in. You have to be ready to adapt and organize as things come up.

As a recruiter, you work in different places. Some days you work in an office where you do research and talk to candidates and business people. On other days, you travel to job fairs and different companies or interview people. If you go to job fairs, you usually work in big rooms, like conference centers or college campuses. When you meet with companies or candidates, however, you typically work in an office.

Virtual recruiters work from home because most recruiting happens online nowadays. Job candidates put their information on social media platforms and job boards. As a remote recruiter, you search these websites to find people matching your client's requirements. You screen candidates over the phone.

As a recruiter, you work for the hiring company. Although you interact with candidates, the hiring company or employer pays your recruitment fees. You make decisions in the best interests of the employer and the candidate. However, at the end of the day, the client is the one looking to fill the vacant position. You primarily interact with managers, the HR department, and business owners.

You will work at least 40 hours a week as a recruiter. However, not all hours are equal. You need to make the most out of your employer's marketing efforts by cold-calling when you are most likely to make a positive connection based on research. Recruiters spend about 60% of their time on the phone each week. You may often need to multitask and work overtime to complete your weekly tasks. The high phone call volume also means you need to work effectively to meet your goals. You may need to work overtime. As a recruiter, you can get hired to work part-time. You adjust your work schedule to your client's and potential hires' needs.

Experts predict the human resource field will grow by 8% from 2021 to 2031, which is faster than average. This prediction means there should be about 81,900 job openings for human resources specialists each year over the decade, many of which result from workers transferring to different jobs or retiring.

Employers will likely continue outsourcing human resources functions to organizations that provide these services, but human resources generalists must still manage complex employment laws and benefit options.
