Finding your perfect career is never easy. And when you are looking for a job in a specific field like Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Speech-Language Pathology, Social Work, or Special Education, there can feel like an endless amount of hoops to jump through before you land in a new work environment. Which is why many therapists and teachers turn to a recruiter to help them in their job search.
But What Do Recruiters Actually Do For You?
While there are many misconceptions about working with recruiters, they are actually incredibly beneficial to a job seeker. Working with a recruiter is a no-cost, efficient way to find a better job faster. With access to their expertise, career advice and access to otherwise unposted jobs, working with a recruiter could just be the best thing you ever do for your job search.
Here’s Why You Should Partner With a Recruiter:
- They Can Review Your Resume and Cover Letter – Having a second set of eyes – especially ones that are trained to spot typos, improvements, and know what hiring personnel are looking for – to go over your resume and cover letter can help you stand out from other therapists or teachers applying for the same role as you.
- They Can Help You Brush Up On Interview Skills – If you have been in one position for a long time, have been out of work, or are returning after a medical or maternity leave, jumping right back into an interview can feel overwhelming. Working with a recruiter can help you prepare for the types of questions you may face, and come up with answers that will impress your future interviewers.
- They Have Access to Unlisted Job Openings – Not every therapy or teaching position is posted to major online job boards.Many schools and businesses still utilize referrals and networking as their top source to fill positions. When you work with a recruiter, you can gain access to these otherwise “hidden” jobs and find them first, before your competition does.
- They Are One More Person Rooting For You – Having a recruiter to root for you and advocate for your career goals can help more than you realize. If you have questions about a school, a salary, benefits, or you need support, you can turn to your recruiter for help and know they have the expertise you need. Plus their entire job is to help you find a job, so they don’t success unless you do!
- They Can Keep You Out of Non-Compete Contracts – Most schools require a non-compete contract for their employees, which can leave you with limited options and opportunities once your placement ends. Spotter Staffing never requires non-compete contracts for our employees, so when you want to make a change in the future or if your life takes you to a new opportunity, you are free to pursue your goals and your best life.
