Example of work as a Recruiter

A company is looking for a new head of marketing.

The recruiter meets with the hiring manager and conducts desk research to learn about the business area and understand what the ideal candidate looks like.

The recruiter makes a search strategy that describes which companies and search words to systematically go through on LinkedIn in order to find the right candidate.

The internal CV bank and active applicants are also reviewed.

When relevant candidates are found the recruiter contacts them to learn more about them and if they are interested in the position.

When a short-list of interested candidates are ready the recruiter takes them to the hiring manager.
