Add You - How To Get A Job In The Chicago Area Using Recruiters

Usually recruiters work in one niche professional skill discipline. Some work electronic engineers, some work salespeople, some work PhD’s, accountants, etc. Other recruiters work a local geographical area in several disciplines focusing on client companies they meet with regularly. Regardless of the specialty they work, most recruiters are very interested in locating good local talent. People with degrees, skills, achievements, and ability to sell themselves are rare and coveted by our local clients.

If you fall into this group, recruiters will be happy to help you. You should seek out the local recruiters in your area. The goal is to find at least three recruiting firms or individuals in the Chicago area that work your specific discipline. I estimate that there are 3000 individual recruiters in the Chicagoland vicinity. No doubt some of them cover your skill set.

You can also be sure recruiters are working with just about every company or employer in the Chicago area. If you are interested in a specific company then one goal in this aspect of job hunting is to find the recruiters working with that company. One way to do that is to look at recruiter’s job listings to discover the company that the recruiter is working for by looking for product, marketplace or technology phrases. Then contact that recruiter and submit your resume regardless if you see a good match or not. Many openings are not currently listed because the job is confidential.

You should also contact the large recruiting firms with multiple offices in the Chicago area such as Sales Consultants, ADDECO and others that are listed in the yellow pages. In some of the Management Recruiters offices all the desks specialize in manufacturing or health care disciplines such as air conditioning or pediatric care. Call around until you find the office that handles your area of interest and the specific recruiter that works that desk.

Recruiters in recent years have banded together in virtual networks to increase their contacts and share jobs and candidates. Top Echelon Network is the largest of these. Seek out members of the networks and you will automatically be given exposure to hundreds of specialty recruiters.

So you have looked for recruiters handling your specialty and for recruiters working with your targeted companies. What else can you do? You can study the newspaper ads. I know this sounds old fashioned, but the ads can lead you to companies that are hiring and not using recruiters. Many firms will try the print ads first. You can reply directly which sometimes works. Sometimes it will land you in a huge pile of resumes but it is still worth doing.

You can compare the print ads with the recruiter’s ads on America’s Job Bank, Monster and Dice and attempt to find out who the hiring client is and if there is recruiter handling that firm. Most recruiters do not rewrite the material describing their jobs and they just use the canned information the company hands out. Pick a few lines of the job listing and do a Google search on the string. This can be helpful in locating recruiters working for major firms and other locations of postings.

Newspapers are valued in the Chicago area. Some are large such as the Tribune. Others are small such as the Courier group (Pioneer Press), Daily Herald and the Daily Southtown. Be sure to look at your local papers. You will be surprised by how many companies are using these resources. They use local papers because they don’t want people from across the country or world sending them resumes. They are only interested in local people from down the block. This also means they may be open to hiring a local person that is not a perfect fit but is available immediately without relocating costs.

If you have a specialty then you can assume there is a technical society or association group that is affiliated with your type of profession. From the American Society of Engineers to IEEE or ASQC or SAE these are groups you want to be a member of. You will find recruiters that are affiliated with these societies also. They advertise in the magazines and publications of the groups and on their web sites and are listed in the directories of the associations. Often there are local sections or chapter meetings you can attend. In my case I belong to several societies and I go to meetings, write for the publications and help members with free resume critiques. Seek these recruiters out, register with them and keep them informed of your career moves. They will call you when they need some help on a job. If you pass on a name or two the recruiter will remember that favor and will return to your resume when he needs a person with your skills.

There are several recruiter directories. One is published by Kennedy Information. It’s called The Red Book of Recruiters. Published since 1971, the famous "Red Book" lists over 13000 recruiters at 5500+ search firms in the US, Canada and Mexico. Libraries usually have it accessible in their job hunting section. Another source online is www.Weddles.com and their Recruiters Guide. Weddles Recruiters Guide is referred to as the "Zagat" of the online recruitment industry by The American Staffing Association. Use these directories to locate your local and specialty recruiters.

Additional sites to uncover data and make an analysis of the Chicago market exist. You can search Monster and Dice with criteria specific for Chicago jobs. You can look at www.chicagojobs.com and similar sites. You can look at Google for Chicago recruiters or jobs and get various hits. There are a number of employment sites that look like www.chicagoxxxjobs.com where you will find listings of accountant jobs, engineer jobs, chemist jobs, marketing jobs, sales jobs, and so on.

The Chicago area is a very complex and widespread job market. To tackle it successfully you will need some help. Find a local recruiter to help you and I think you will be pleased with the results.

Food service jobs are open to virtually anyone. Getting into the hospitality industry is reasonably easy, but to progress, it is important to have relevant skills and knowledge. You must have the hospitality skills you need to give yourself better employment opportunities.Many of the food and beverage servers are young teens to twenties, usually with little or no work experience. While older people may have an edge, lacking waiting experience is not a barrier. What is most important, is impeccable hygiene, a clean, neat appearance (get rid of the nose ring or that hair plastered over one eye when at work), and a service-oriented, pleasant personality and good manners.Most food servers and waiters pick up their skills by observing and working with more experienced staff.

Satisfying the ‘rebuttable presumption of reasonabess’An ECS reader recently asked about where to find reliable data that can be used to compare non-cash compensation among executives within the not-for-profit (NFP) sector: Compensation Committees need to evaluate this component of the pay package for purposes of satisfying the “rebuttable presumption of reasonableness” under Section 4958 of the Internal Revenue Code.
