Whether you are looking to fill entry level positions, hire talent for middle management or require a new executive to join your leadership team, working with a recruiter is one of the most effective ways to find the right person, one who possesses the skills, experience and cultural fit you are seeking.
One of the first things you’ll learn about career advice is that everyone has some to offer – even those who know very little about your career or industry. People love to offer advice – some is useful and some is downright terrible career advice.
Having a great resume is a very valuable career tool. It will help you get your foot in the door, get the attention of recruiters and hiring managers, and it is what will land you job interview requests. A poorly crafted resume will do the opposite – it will get buried in the pile of other bad resumes, never to be looked at again.
Whether you are stuck in a slump, want to kick your career into overdrive, or it’s simply time to make a change, we’ve outlined some career-defining moves to consider.
One very effective recruiting strategy that can help you land interviews with the top talent in your industry is through peer-to-peer recruiting.
Young professionals today want to move up the corporate ladder as fast as possible. They want management positions, they want to have senior consultant roles and they want to advance their career at warp speed.

As far as agency recruiting goes, there are way too many “fly by night” shops that give our industry a terrible reputation. I have worked with countless recruiters over the years, many of which are phenomenal, and many others – not so much. Too many are focused on their commission instead of the human beings they are trying to help match up.
Having a strong network is one of your greatest resources as a job seeker. The more people you know, the greater access you will have to potential opportunities – in theory. Combine that with knowledge, or your areas of financial expertise, and you put yourself in a great position to meet your career goals.
