Some recruiters work for recruiting agencies. Companies hire recruiting agencies to outsource their recruiting work; these recruiters aren\u2019t loyal to one company but rather help recruit for roles for multiple companies. This means they might know of open roles in various companies that might be a good fit for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find other recruiters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Search for \u201crecruiter OR recruitment OR headhunter OR talent acquisition OR staffing\u201d in your LinkedIn search bar. Searching for these titles ensures you\u2019ll find recruiters who may not have the conventional \u201crecruiter\u201d title.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Filter for \u201cPeople.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select \u201cAll filters\u201d to narrow your search.

It&#8217;s an extra chance to show you&#8217;re motivated and interested in a role. For internships and entry-level roles especially, recruiters want to get to know students to ensure they&#8217;re a good fit. Even if you don&#8217;t land that role, you might make a connection with the recruiter, who can then keep you in mind for future positions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, reaching out to a recruiter on LinkedIn doesn\u2019t guarantee you\u2019ll have a leg up in the hiring process. However, the right connection with a recruiter can help you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theforage.com\/blog\/basics\/interview-tips\">land an interview<\/a> or help you find another role you\u2019re a great fit for down the line.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before reaching out to a recruiter, research their background, the company they work for, and any specific job roles they recruit for. This information can help you tailor your approach, ask informed questions, and demonstrate your interest and knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-say-to-a-recruiter-on-linkedin\">What to Say to a Recruiter on LinkedIn<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If reaching out to recruiters on LinkedIn can help you in your job search, is there a right way to do it? Yes \u2014 but you&#8217;ll need to craft a unique message catered to that recruiter, just like you&#8217;d craft a unique resume for a specific company. Here&#8217;s a step-by-step guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sending-a-connection-request\">Sending a Connection Request<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When reaching out to a recruiter, it\u2019s best to keep it \u201cshort and sweet,\u201d Matthew Warzel, certified professional resume writer and former Fortune 500 recruiter, says. \u201cThey are busy-bodies, usually juggling multiple openings at a time and speaking with tens, sometimes hundreds of candidates each day!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, although it should be short, taking the time to craft a thoughtful and personalized message that highlights your relevant skills, interests, and alignment with their recruiting needs can make a significant impact. Because recruiters are sifting through so many messages, you need to make yours unique and personal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll especially need to be short and sweet when asking them to connect on LinkedIn, as you have a 300-character limit. Quickly introduce yourself, share a little about your experience, and express your interest in the roles they\u2019re recruiting for. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/myTKZhTqR6l0LK7S6V6f49I9A67rwXEj0jIiFLWcUWHRXjxxXksy6sbZjWTvogZxDVhIhYkcTIpYzz7TcbnvwS8LnvFg32M3NY-00_KfniZhFsu9tWki9Dd4PlKFbFfsoE7rnSDsLgJ8nLVWPnlkS-c\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-after-they-ve-accepted-your-connection\">After They\u2019ve Accepted Your Connection<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve connected, you can expand on your experience and interest in a second message. If you&#8217;re looking for a particular role or company that they recruit for, you&#8217;ll want to share more about why you&#8217;re a great fit. Make sure to do your research \u2014 you don&#8217;t want to say something that doesn&#8217;t match up with information you could find on the company&#8217;s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI usually recommend avoiding sending messages like \u2018hi, can you find me a job?&#8217;\u201d Daniela Herrera, director of recruitment operations and ED&amp;I at R\/GA, says. \u201cEven if the recruiter would like to help you out, they don\u2019t know anything about you at that stage. It will be very difficult for them to know what\u2019s the best role for you. A better approach would be to send a clear and short note explaining who you are, the role you\u2019re interested in, and the link to the job you\u2019d like to apply for. And if you have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theforage.com\/blog\/basics\/what-is-resume\">resume<\/a> or website you\u2019d like them to see, don\u2019t forget to include that too!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in a specific role, you can ask about discussing that role with them. If you\u2019re looking to build a connection or are interested in multiple positions, you can ask if they have any available roles that fit your experience or if they\u2019d like to speak with you further on the phone. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/rFJpuhy2eN-oIuvOeR9DzM7RgMDESTJ5-i9ZWitb5N3ItNT9Q9XQuQ5kH4i53wsmF2y_IgZgI6NwlTipI2l6fac3LYD9MJwe5qbt5_ke9Uqu5666nuLF42GDEk2ore6sB6Ka5bF-dBON96igCtcJV2E\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When you start talking to the recruiter, \u201cbe professional and courteous but also savvy \u2013 not all recruiters are the same,\u201d Jen Emmons, senior talent strategist at Carex Consulting Group, says. \u201cAsk questions up front to understand what the process is, the organizations they partner with and what to expect. In addition, know what you\u2019re looking for. This helps the recruiter streamline and contact you with the opportunities that most align with your preferences.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&gt;&gt;MORE: <\/strong>Ace a phone interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theforage.com\/blog\/basics\/phone-interview-questions\">Common Phone Interview Questions (and How to Answer)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-to-follow-up-with-a-recruiter\">When to Follow Up With a Recruiter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, there are times you\u2019ll reach out to a recruiter and won\u2019t hear back. That\u2019s okay \u2014 not all recruiters are responsive to every LinkedIn message. Sometimes, they might not have any roles you\u2019re suited for at the time. Other times, they might just have so many messages to sift through and can&#8217;t get to all of them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven\u2019t heard back after reaching out about a specific position, don&#8217;t take it personally. You can follow up after a few business days to restate your interest. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/m9b4DQZMvxS5cSPA4BBIBXYSVG_d0aFAXyMe-SZFOAx_sW6wHL79q60vXfjwq4oYZWKgg0fMNTwagsxCPQV2AOgxKVLLt09zIngs5JKGYHwCwWtO2t4Kud3eSnitz8YNSNcQMwudxetQ6prAb88W-tE\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If they post on LinkedIn or you can find information about recent content they&#8217;ve made or work they&#8217;ve done, bring that up!
