Selecting The Right Retail Recruiter

Your decision to change careers can affect every dimension of your life. That's why selecting the right recruiter, who is part of a reputable firm, is essential.  When you contact the recruiter ask questions like:

  • How many people in the office specialize in retail? 
    One solo recruiter can't possibly be a specialist with critical industry contacts in every area of the retail industry.
  • How many retail professionals did they place in to retail opportunities in the past year? 
    Is it 10 or 100? The answer will tell you if they're a force in retail industry search.
  • At which companies has their office placed candidates in the past year?
    If their current retail relationships are few then your exposure as a candidate will likely be limited.  If many, then you've found it!
  • Ask the industry recruiter how they manage confidentiality, ethics and best practices. 
    Is your retail recruiter accountable to someone for these areas?  If not, you could be seriously compromised as a professional.
