Before you submit your resume to a professional recruiter, consider this: Are you pricing yourself out of a job?  What do we mean by this?....Listen up....

 

Utilizing the services of a professional recruiter who specializes in serving your industry (The Moving Industy) is a good idea.  These firms know the business, understand the client's needs and can speak their language.  As a HHG goods "headhunter", we are privvy to inside information concerning confidential and "unadvertised" openings in your line of work.  We have developed relationships with the proper hiring authorities and can cut through the red tape of the application process and get your name and resume directly in front of the people who matter.  Don't submit a resume through a mega internet job board....it often gets lost in the shuffle.  All of this is good for you, the job seeker.  However, by utilizing the "wrong" recruiting firm, you can effectively price yourself out of the job market.

 

Read our article (to the right) that is addressed to Hiring Authorities.  In there we state how many recruiters are overcharging their clientele.  Think about this from YOUR perspective....that of the candidate trying to get an interview and job offer.  If you "hire" a recruiter to market you, a recruiter who charges their clients 20 to 30% of your first-year salary, you may price yourself out of the job market!

 

Let's say you're a strong GM candidate looking for a base salary of $80,000 plus benefits.  If your recruiter is charging 25% as their fee, your potential employer is looking at paying not only your salary (and ALL of the other incidentals that go into the hiring process), but in addition to that, a recruiting fee of $20,000!  In the case of most moving companies (particularly in light of today's bad HHG economy), you just lost an opportunity to get hired.

 

The same holds true for most any salaried position in the moving industry.  Movers are becoming more and more reluctant to pay high fees and this effectively blocks you from getting hired.

 

Not so with Movers Search Group.  We charge flat fees for many positions.  When we market candidates to clients who have NOT given us a job order for a specific position, often we negotiate an even lower fee.  Salespeople and CSR's are marketed and recruited at a fee that comes out to a dollar amount that is even lower than 15%...our standard maximum fee for all other positions.

 

There is a reason other recruiters don't publish their fees on their websites and don't mention their fees to candidates such as yourselves....now you know why.

 

Open more doors. Don't put yourself in a position where you are denied an opportunity to interview because unbeknownst to you, your recruiter has overpriced you from the start:  ASK YOUR RECRUITER WHAT THEIR FEE IS BEFORE YOU AGREE TO LET THEM REPRESENT YOU.
