Market Access: The Published, Unpublished, and Recruiter Markets

(Available only in combination with any other The Manager Program service)

It used to be that just responding to want ads in the newspaper or perhaps on-line was enough.  But today, just 15% of clients actually find jobs that way.  And that’s only if they are very diligent and active in pursuing every job opening the can find.  That’s what we call The Published Market.  If you plan to use this market, then you really have to understand it.  For example, have you been using job boards or markets to search for career opportunities?

What are the major job boards and markets that you have been using so far in your search?

How up to date are you on how to use these resources?  For example, are you familiar with meta-search platforms that review multiple sources all at once?  What do you think your chances are of landing a job via a published position?  What tactics have you employed to stand out when you have applied for positions on-line?

Then there is The Unpublished Market, where fully 50% of applicants find jobs.  Are you aware of the unpublished job market?  Would you know how to find unpublished career opportunities?  What resources do you currently have to research and discover unpublished job opportunities?  How up to date are you on the tactics required to succeed in the unpublished job market?  How successful do you think you will be uncovering unpublished job opportunities without professional help?

Probably by now you can see how the experienced career management professionals at The Barrett Group can accelerate your search and help you achieve your career dream so much faster.

Another important job pool is, of course, The Recruiter Market.  Have you ever worked with a recruiter before?  Are you aware of how a recruiter is remunerated and what they are focused on?  What is the probability that a recruiter will respond to you if you simply reach out now and contact them?  What tactics would you imagine could enhance your success with recruiters? How would you change your approach to be more attractive to recruiters specialized in your targeted career opportunities or industry?

Again, our knowledge of these tactics and short cuts is invaluable to career changers.  Why not benefit from it?

But our Market Access program also offers you customized research on companies, industries, and cities or states that you may see as attractive relocation opportunities.  Wouldn’t it be nice to have an experienced career management professional guide you through the labyrinth to that ideal job you know is just waiting for you?
