Do you know what to do once a recruiter gets you an interview?

Chris Whatling • May 31, 2023

IF A RECRUITER GETS YOU AN INTERVIEW, MAKE SURE YOU DO THESE THINGS…..

1. Ensure that you have the correct date, time and location for the interview. If it’s a video interview, check you have the correct tech installed.

2. Ask the recruiter how the have sold you in. What have they said about you and why you should get the job.

3. Make sure you know the salary that the recruiter has said you need.

4. Ask what to wear - the recruiter may have had sent candidates to this client previously and they should know the dress code which you should always try to mirror.

5. Ask what type of interview you’ll be having so that you can prepare. Ask the recruiter who is interviewing you and do some research on them on LinkedIn if possible.

6. Ask the recruiter to do a test/role play interview with you if you are nervous or want to practice.

7. Ask the recruiter for information on successful candidates in the past. What were their backgrounds? What did they do at interview that the client loved?

8. Call the recruiter straight after your interview so you don’t forget anything and give honest, detailed feedback. If they aren’t available leave a voicemail with lots of info and they’ll call you back.

9. Give the recruiter time to gain feedback for you. They are busy people that can be juggling 10+ vacancies and 50+ candidates for each role at a time. A good recruiter will never sit on feedback if they have it so try to be patient.

We hope this helps... 🐾
