WILL A RECRUITER'S FEES IMPACT MY SALARY?
By Rob Reeves, President, CEO, Redfish Technology

Rob Reeves |
I can't tell you how many times I've been asked by a candidate if working with a recruiter will lower his salary. Some people think that a recruiter's fee comes out of the same budget that a candidate's salary comes from. "Isn't the money for a new hire going to be split between the candidate hired, referral fees, headhunter commission, and Sally over at H.R.?"
Other questions I've had include: "If there are two candidates vying for the position and one was introduced via a recruiter, the company can save money by hiring the other, right?" and "But would my overall compensation package be higher if there was no recruiter involved?"

EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION IN 2012: Pent-up Demand

WHAT ARE YOUR INTERVIEW TAKEAWAYS?
Job Interviews are not the most natural situation for most of us. Typically you are meeting the interviewer(s) for the first time, most likely in a new place with a company you don't know intimately. You need to convince the person that you are the best person for a job that you have not practiced with that employer. And hopefully you only do this every few years, so you may not have had a lot of practice lately. Ug.
Whether you are speaking with a recruiter or a hiring manager, there are proven ways to make a good impression and effectively communicate who you are and what you have to offer. First of all, prepare several talking points (and don't forget the last one like happened in a recent political debate). Have the main points you want to make to the interviewer down pat. This will allow you to say on point.
