Service 06 · Reverse Recruiting
You Focus on Your Next Chapter. We'll Help You Organize the Search.

- Employer identification
- Job matching

Reverse Recruiting
You stay in charge. We take on agreed parts of the legwork — the research, the organising, the tracking — so your search moves forward even in weeks when you're stretched thin.
Does this sound like you?
- “No time to search properly alongside your current job or responsibilities.”
- “Applications spread across too many places to keep straight.”
- “Recruiters calling about roles that don't fit what you want.”
- “A search that has stalled and needs a reset.”

Questions
Common questions
Reverse recruiting is a candidate-focused approach in which a job seeker engages a service provider to help organize and carry out parts of their job search. Depending on the agreement, this may include opportunity research, target-company identification, application support and search tracking.
Traditional recruiters typically work with employers to fill vacancies. Reverse recruiting focuses on helping the job seeker pursue opportunities that match their own career goals. The exact activities depend on the reverse recruiting service agreement.
Application assistance may be included in certain reverse recruiting or job-search agreements. The precise responsibilities must be agreed in advance. Clients must authorize and approve applications submitted in their name, and we will not claim that applications have been submitted unless this has actually occurred.
