Do you have a good relationship with your recruiter?
Expanding your network
How is your relationship with your recruiter? Do you use them as a sounding board for information, support and career advice?
As recruitment consultants, we speak to 20-30 people a month with similar background across sales, marketing, category & insights. We cultivate relationships with all different types of employers across the FMCG world. You should be asking us questions, keeping up to date on changes or trends and use our knowledge to your advantage for expanding your network outside of your organisation.
You’ve got nothing to lose
The biggest thing to remember when you work with a recruiter is that communication is key. Be honest, be forth coming, and be clear of your intentions so we can keep you informed on specific market information. Having regular candid career conversations to broaden your career pathways is important to map out your pathway and remember – you have nothing to lose.
You won’t miss amazing opportunities
If you’re not looking for FMCG roles, you don’t really know what you’re missing. You may be happy in your current position, but if you have an ambition to move into a certain role, or a goal of working for a particular company – don’t let those opportunities fly by because you’ve got your head down. Job boards and your own network are not enough to inform you on your career pathway. We love preparing people to have better career conversations, make great career decisions, and enable individuals and organisations to get the best return from their relationships.
